May I suggest the tactical use of duct tape? I once transformed a wool coat into something very space-agey (I was doing a satire of the Japanese designer Issey Miyake's pieces) by covering it with silver duct tape. It has the added benefit of making the fabric stiffer so it would look more robot like. Of course, you'd have to be willing to sacrifice the clothing that you use. And for the head part you could get a metal mixing bowl and put cardboard around the rim of it and use toilet paper rolls for the pipes, maybe. Anyway, just an idea.
