In the end, Beaumier jumped into the deep end with investor Kevin O’Leary and agreed to give him 30%. Still, the shark had one condition: Beaumier somehow needed to partner with a toy company. Without it, the deal would be null and void. Alas, the agreement unraveled sometime after the episode aired. Neither side has ever commented on why, but since the one caveat included teaming up with a toy company, it’s a safe assumption.
To Beaumier’s credit, he didn’t give up on his original idea of making (it took 50 hours to complete each suit) and selling the Drive Suits to the general public. He went on an episode of “American Idol” (the actor could sing, apparently), “Let’s Make A Deal,” and even showed up at a mega “Transformers” show in Shanghai, China. He was also spotted at events in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and fairs in Fresno and Bakersfield (California).
After failing to attract investors, he changed the direction and name of the company to Robots and Cars Entertainment (RACE), where he and a troupe dressed up in an array of Drive Suits for parties, events, and conventions (via Insider Growth).
Beaumier navigated the congested entertainment industry for a few more years and, according to The Gazette Review, was still in business as of mid-October 2022. However, the company’s last Facebook post was made in April 2019, and the link to its website is (at the time of this writing) dead. It would appear that Robots And Cars Entertainment may have run its final race.
