"Holy Smoke" squeaked the suddenly fearful firestarter.

Was this how the frying pan feels about fire?

Never one to pass on the oppurtunity to test the flammable properties of something firefly responded the only way he knew. The intense heat of his jets of flame engulfed the BATtle Mech. He squealed with delight, "Burn baby burn!"

Firefly blasted the BATtle Mech until he had expended his fuel. Time for Barbequed bat. But when the smoke cleared it was clear that the BAtman had not been reduced to crispyfried chargrilled cinders. The flameretardant materials the professor had been working on had done the job.

Scooping up the disappointed deviant Batman ripped the Jetpack from his back.

Time to put this firefly in the jar.

But Firefly managed to wriggle free and made abreak for it. How fast can a lumbering metal Mech be?

But Batman still had some tricks up his BATtle mech sleeve:

Splat!

All that remained was to rid the batcave of overenthusiastic actors...

...and refuel the BATtke Mech and run diagnostics.

Firefly's jetpack went to Batman's techlab for analysis.

And new trophies were added to the armoury.

This Batcave is only the beginning and will be altered as I collect more pieces. At the moment I'm working on a modular system but here what were supposed to be two different modules have become one. Ideally I want a more circular arrangement around a central column of rock but I'll need a lot of pieces for that so that's a longterm project and for now I'm working on modules that will be easy to convert in the future. Things to add include completing the Mech bay and adding a garage and workshop for the Batmobile, the dock for the Batboat and somewhere for the Batwing, a games room, battoilet, etc. I also want to build a more substantial armoury and trophy room with different armours, like Samurai and Knight, on display as in Wayne Manor in the first Tim Burton movie. (Budget restraints permiting.)

Missiles attach to the underbelly of the BATtle Mech but I forgot to add them for the photos

Incidentally my son enjoys playing with this batcave but insists on using as the death star (hence the need to chase of the overentusiastic actors) or even a base for firefly. Anything but a batcave.

There are a few more photos in my Brickshelf folder if you are interested. If anyone wants a closeup of some detail or another angle just ask. (I do plan to attach batwings to the BATtle mech and take a photo just for the fun of it).

Up next - Out of the fringpan and into the ... Freezer?

As for those waiting on the Batboat or the Joker truck, fear not, I will get there when I have time to take more pics.

Wow that is awesome!!!

I really like these The bike is nicelly designed and the disco truck is very creative, can we see in side please

Good work

Thanks Hollisbrick, once Batman has dispatched Mr Freeze and Killer Croc he will face off against the Joker's Mobile Disco Shack in the Batmobile. Joker has a few tricks up his sleeve here. I only have a couple of old pics of these I used as a preview, and none yet of the Batmobile, so they will be posted depending on when I find time to take the pictures.

In the meantime, just for amusement and to satisfy my curiosity as much as anyone elses, I tried out Batwings on the BATtle Mech:

Here I have also used an opaque black windscreen, wings pointing sideways:

Wings pointing back. Missiles attached this time:

I think perhaps Batman should stick with modifying Firefly's jetpack if he wants to fly.

Wow man! Loving that Batcave and Batmech! The immense detail in your design of both is stunning to say the least. Love the garages and techlab, seriously that is my favourite little detail I've seen in a custom Batcave, love all the little instruments. The items holder is neat too with the weapons and tidbits. The levels of it and stairs and everything just works so well, I love it! You've given me a lot of great ideas for modding my Batcave.

The Batmech is also very good, I'm surprised at how well that cockpit piece works. The Batwings are necessary of course, and I love the hand and feet design. It looks pretty stable too, and the slight gold/black scheme also works very well.

I hope to see more batcreations from you!

Batbrick Away!

Holy.... whatever you want to say, that Batcave is SWEET!!
