R2-D2 Smasher class Battle Mech

[BarfolomewMog]

So I thought this series was finished, but apparently not haha!

This is a re-colour and Mod of https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=76031-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

I bought this set for my kids when it came out and I've always admired the way it captures the stance and feel of the Hulkbuster in such a simple and efficient manner.

When the https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=30611-1&name=R2-D2 - Mini polybag&category=[Star Wars][Mini][Star Wars Episode 4/5/6]#T=S&O={"iconly":0} came out I couldn't help but feel that this was a mash-up that needed to happen!

He stands a touch over half the height of my other mechs but I think he fits right in with this motley crew haha!

I tried to get this ready by the end of Mech-tober but ran out of time.

I had a lot of fun building this guy and I hope you like it!

Nice! I love how you've incorporated R2's various tools into the mech, like the buzzsaw or periscope. Very seamlessly done.

Another fun mech! Well done! I love the little thrusters on the back and the periscope.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE! I'm so happy to see another entry in the series! R2-D2 as a short little hulkbuster is perfect. Though now you of course have to make a C-3PO mech to even the odds.

I figured that R2's mech would have to be practical and yet able to inflict maximum carnage haha!

Adding all the tools was a cool way to modify this existing set.

All my mechs have some sort of backpack haha.

Thank you both, you're always around ready with a kind word!

So did I!

I'm supposed to be working on a Vic Viper but I got distracted!

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, it was fun putting together a quick build at a much smaller scale.

I really appreciate your interest!
