Posted July 26, 201212 yr Hello LEGO Sci-Fi fans! I don't come around these parts often, but I one thing I do love is mecha! So I present to you today my latest mecha. 3 months of work, she has survived 3 falls, 2 complete redesigns and has even been covered in ink (To my MAJOR annoyance). Holding the heavy machine gun. This is how she usually looks, holding a light machine gun...thing. Arguably, the hardest part of the mech. But I am really proud of how the head came out. I just love how much antennas it has. I made it my challenge to add as many as I could, all around it there are 7 in total. Jump-pack. It was originally a jet-pack, but I just don't think it could carry the weight of the whole mech in flight. How many mechs are piloted by an angel?! I just HAD to have some sort of crazy pilot, orange jumpsuits wasn't enough. Thanks for taking your time to look at my MOC! If you liked it, or not, leave a comment below!

July 26, 201212 yr Nicely done! Especially the head I think the feet could be bulkier but other than that an excellent MOC
July 27, 201212 yr Really nice, and I do love the working Zone of the Enders inspired cockpit and overall aesthetic. I do have to say it looks a little top heavy, the feet in particularly don't give the design an air of stability.
July 27, 201212 yr Author But I think you could improve the feets. I think the feet could be bulkier. The feet do look a bit feeble. Really nice, and I do love the working Zone of the Enders inspired cockpit and overall aesthetic. I do have to say it looks a little top heavy, the feet in particularly don't give the design an air of stability. But I LIKE the feet! I dunno, maybe I could add something to the front of them, I agree they do look rather odd. The mech itself is actually quite stable, I can put it in various poses without fear of it falling because the back of the feet can articulate in and out, so by moving the heels I can make it stand in most positions. When it's fallen in the past it has been due to... Brothers. Also Snark, I'm glad you noticed my inspiration! I so loved those games when I was younger and their 'unique' cockpit design.
July 27, 201212 yr Maybe what seems wrong with the legs (and the feets) is their length. Your mech has an humanoid shape, but it's legs are shorts compared to it's torso and arms, maybe that's why we focus on the feets...

Yeah I can see what you mean, I think if the feet were beefed up a bit, the illusion of same size legs/arms would be complete. Then the legs themselves would not look so weird. However I do like the look of it IMO.
July 27, 201212 yr Amazing MOC! Although many don't like the feet, I love them! They remind me of high heels I hope you make more!
July 27, 201212 yr Now this a sci-fi creation....an AWESOME mecha/warrior....nice one 'halfpenguinhalflego' ! Looks tougher and cooler than Halo that's for sure ! Brick On Fight On 'halfpenguinhalflego' !
July 27, 201212 yr Author Although many don't like the feet, I love them! They remind me of high heels I hope you make more! Thanks! I actually started work on my second one today. Now this a sci-fi creation....an AWESOME mecha/warrior....nice one 'halfpenguinhalflego' ! Looks tougher and cooler than Halo that's for sure ! Brick On Fight On 'halfpenguinhalflego' ! Thanks very much! It's awesome that someone thinks this looks cooler than Halo!
July 28, 201212 yr Great MOC. I love how detailed it is, especially the head. I do agree you could bulk up the feet, but it is your creation.
July 28, 201212 yr Feet are ruining the whole design. Also I have that strange feeling as if there was something wrong with torso.
July 28, 201212 yr Also Snark, I'm glad you noticed my inspiration! I so loved those games when I was younger and their 'unique' cockpit design. Haha, yeah, ZoE was a ton of fun, I remember spending hours on ZoE 2. Any plans to make a Vector Cannon-esque add on for your lovely moc? It would be badass
July 28, 201212 yr Author Wow that looks awesome, except for the cockpit the positioning looks weird. Thanks! I wanted the cockpit to look weird/unique to be honest as I've said, inspiration came from Zone Of The Enders. Great MOC. I love how detailed it is, especially the head. I do agree you could bulk up the feet, but it is your creation. Thanks Blue Brick, the head is my favourite part, I admittedly did it to late into the MOC so I was more limited in ways I could design the head so it could fit with the rest of the MOC. Feet are ruining the whole design. Also I have that strange feeling as if there was something wrong with torso. Don't worry, next mecha is being designed now, I'm keeping the whole feet thing as something important to improve, I ALWAYS have problem making feet for mecha. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the torso? At least it could be the whole cockpit design that makes it awkward to do anything with the torso, so maybe it's the fact it doesn't move because of the cockpit being placed there. However I've got an idea in my head that would allow a similar mecha to have two points of articulation in the torso, as opposed to none. Any plans to make a Vector Cannon-esque add on for your lovely moc? It would be badass Well, this MOC is getting no major changes, whereas the next, V2 of this style mecha may very well have a vector cannon like design. In fact, I had this awesome idea today for a big sniper type weapon that actually folds up and attaches to the hip.
July 29, 201212 yr The feet are cool / interesting. And you should definitely use them.... for something else. I could totally see it as like a highspeed scout mech or something. This looks like a brawler and can stand in a fight... those legs ... less so. But the build is absolutely fantastic. I've never built a Mech ... but it always astounds me when I see them dome... especially when they're so nicely done here... Hope to see a few more mechs from you!
July 30, 201212 yr Author Amazing model, and apparently quite stable build, too! :) Yeah it is quite stable, thanks for the compliment! The feet are cool / interesting. And you should definitely use them.... for something else. I could totally see it as like a highspeed scout mech or something.

I've never built a Mech ... but it always astounds me when I see them dome... especially when they're so nicely done here... Hope to see a few more mechs from you! I can actually see what you mean here, that's a very good point you made. Thanks as well, I enjoy building mechs so I wouldn't worry about not seeing some more from me.
