Mech

Building a mech has been one of my dreams for a long time. I actually improvised with some KRE-O joints but it would be nice to have more special joints. I modified the Bumblebee set into this model:

OK, so it doesn't look so good. In my personal defense, this was actually my first half-built mech, and I was still learning the tricks of the LEGO trade. The mech in general is actually quite sturdy (tapping into the inflexibility of the KRE-O joints) and can grasp a boomerang in its hand. 

Well, this is the model that the big mech was based on. Can see the similarities? Unfortunately, the amount of complexity needed for a bigger mech didn't cope well with this simple design, so I altered the features a bit. Colour was naturally a problem, but I think it still looks nice enough!

This is the back of the mech. Pretty simple in my opinion, but it has a slot there where the small mech can clip into. Great for climatic appearances, don't you think? Also, you can see that many of the parts are still from the KRE-O set from the back. Rule of my creations: never look behind!

This is a view of both mechs together. The similarities can be seen, but the green markings are missing and the legs aren't blocky enough. Maybe an improvement for next time? Stay tuned!
