Well, I'm thinking that, since your character would not have legs, he would need to move around in a wheelchair of sorts (since you probably don't want to spend Celebration Europe in one place). Your legs can therefore be tucked under the chair, with some sort of blanket covering them at the knees.
Your arm is more difficult. Tucking it behind your back, or under another blanket would be one idea, keeping the elbow (stump) visible. You would then use some kind of costume over your other arm to be the surviving robot arm.
I would be more worried about how you would replicate the "burned alive" look. But I know nothing of makeup, and only a bit about costumes.
I'm probably going to a fundraiser costume party the weekend before Halloween. Last year I was the Weighted Companion Cube. Nobody got it. This year, I'm looking for a helmet that I can turn into a Magneto helmet, but that's dependent on finding the helmet.

I found a roughly cubic box, cut the top off (it would be the bottom and merely open). I cut a whole in the now-top's middle for my head, and two armholes in the sides. I then covered the whole thing in tin-foil. I cut out corner pieces and center circles out of white bristol board, and cut four hearts out of pink bristol board, and taped them all up. The last step was trimming the foil and bristol board that covered the head and armholes, and taped up the edges so it wouldn't fray. So uncomfortable, but worth being the biggest nerd at the party.
