Posted November 7, 200717 yr I've known about this site for quite a long time, the guy's also been running for a couple years too, but now that I'm new to Eurobricks, I'd like to share my find with you. Ultimate LEGO MechWarrior This leads you to the intro page, simply click on his NEWS icon for the latest model built, he (Primus) updates frequently. Oh, and if you speak German, he has both English and German text. Here are other Links to different ares of the site in case you miss them. MechWarrior: Dark Age Black Market If you are a fan of MechWarrior you will abosolutely love this site, especially if you're familiar with the units through the miniatures game. Not only are there Mechs, but Vehicle, Structure, and Infantry units as well. All worth definitely a good look into. Although not all of his models have actually been built, (They're 3D renderings) every model is possible to build. These are the kind of Mechs that I get my insipiration from. Solid Americana. No anime influence like Exo-Force (Sorry, but I just can't stand it! LEGO makes it look so cheapo!!!) That is all!
November 7, 200717 yr Yes, it is a pretty cool site. *sweet* I like his cover page. Very interesting mod of the 7249 crane. :-D These are the kind of Mechs that I get my insipiration from. Solid Americana. No anime influence like Exo-Force How can you be sure? The Japanese did largely invent Mech/Mecha afterall.
November 7, 200717 yr Astounding!!!!!! LEGO's profit would blast through the roof if they would make a line of these!!!!!! X-D
November 7, 200717 yr Astounding!!!!!! LEGO's profit would blast through the roof if they would make a line of these!!!!!! X-D I wish I could agree but I doubt it. The costs of sets would double and parents would simply not buy them. If they did these as UCS Exo-Force they might sell well, but I can't see that happening. UCS seems to only succeed with Star Wars.
November 7, 200717 yr I 've known about this site for a while, It's awesome. Astounding!!!!!! LEGO's profit would blast through the roof if they would make a line of these!!!!!! I wish I could agree but I doubt it. The costs of sets would double and parents would simply not buy them. If they did these as UCS Exo-Force they might sell well, but I can't see that happening. UCS seems to only succeed with Star Wars. I would buy them at double price! Edited November 7, 200717 yr by SupremeCommmanderGrievous
November 7, 200717 yr Wow! These are amazing! I wonder how long it took him.... :-D Edited November 7, 200717 yr by Lord Of Pies
November 7, 200717 yr Author How can you be sure? The Japanese did largely invent Mech/Mecha afterall. True, the Mecha genre should be attributed to the Asian culture, and even in MechWarrior there are subtle anime influences, but I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I'm too fond of the organic, flashy, cartoony, raw anime style on Mechs, like Exo-Force. I must admit though, I do like Gundam and Transformers. Now that takes me back to childhood memories when you'd come home from school to watch those shows!

Actually I prefer my mechs to look mechanical too! *sweet* I don't make many though... (What I used to love as a kid was the vehicle Voltron. *wub* )
November 7, 200717 yr Author I was too young to remember Voltron, but I do know who you're talking about though. I do remember falling in complete love with THE ORGINAL Power Rangers. :-P Yes, laugh all you want, but the orginal shows were the best and I loved them. The blockiness of the Mechs, and the dinosaur theme was awesome, not to mention the Green Rangers Dragon Mech with the Rocket fingers was sweet! So, I suppose I did or do like some Anime influence, but there's definitely a line.

November 9, 200717 yr You know, whenever I see the title of this, I keep thinking of something along the lines of the Commander unit from 'Total Annihilation' in Lego form. Might be an idea for a MOC. ~Peace Edited November 9, 200717 yr by iamded
November 11, 200717 yr I remember seeing this a long time ago and I was extremely impressed, especially with the one called Jupiter. I'm pretty sure he has a real model of it constructed from real bricks posted on Brickshelf. He's added a lot of new stuff since I last saw it. They're really cool.
