A while ago I was at my grandparents house when an idea had struck me. They had this box of classic space legos and I decided that I wanted to challenge myself by building a mech the oldest of old fashioned ways. The resulting moc was built with 100% classic lego pieces, looks like a box on legs, and it falls apart way too easily but for some odd reason I’m proud of it and amazed that I was even able to build something this ok with classic system bricks. So here is the odd result of my self-challenge.
Armed with lasers and mining explosives, the sigma defense mech is ready for any potential moon-man attack. The mech is also equipped with advanced communications systems to stay in contact with other lunar explorers and bases.
For the next few weeks, I want suggestions for what I should build. It can be anything, but it will be built entirely with the contents of these two bins. I anxiously await suggestions.
edit (had to change title as the system thought it contained naughty words)
I really like it because it has the feel of the classic space era. The mech has a surprising amount of detail on the front and I think it looks great. The seats on the mech’s feet are really funny and I like the mech’s walking function.
Doesn’t look very classic spacey in build style, but it’s pretty neat! I do those sorts of things myself too, as I have a box with old (or vintage, depends on your perspective ) parts from my dad’s spaceships, it’s pretty fun!
If you have enough turntables, I challenge you to build a walker with the same general function as the classic space set 6882, but obviously reinventing all the rest of the appearance to your heart’s content. I think it would look awesome!
Otherwise I would like to see a spaceship with deployable rover, much like the most iconic Lego space sets.
It’s definitely an interesting reimagination.[quote=“Zero, post:1, topic:39141”]

Unfortunately I can’t rework the mech as the parts I used to build it are at my grandparents’ home. I could make a different mech with my own parts and incorporate it into a spaceship.
