Nindroid Mecha Revamped

So little known fact: My first topic on these message Boards was This.

A year since then, I took the old Nindroid Mech from that topic and revamped it, minorly.

This was the original:

And here’s the new one:

The improvements are minor, but they go a long way towards making this thing look better, and being more structurally sound.

It definitely looks better than the original. :wink:

I personally like the new chestplate.

Me too.

I knew that the most important things when it came to revamping this thing was 1. structural integrity, which I added by using cylindrical bricks to secure the shoulder blocks instead of the gears the old one had(which didn’t peg into the studs, so would often fall out, causing the shoulder blocks to fall out

and 2. A more visually interesting chestplate, since the flat light grey of old really took away from the moc’s appearance as a whole.

I personally believe the new chestplate also goes along with the beaklike protrusion on the “head” of the mech, which is intended to resemble a peaked cowl of a hood. The new chestplate now features a lip which acts as the bottom facemask and headwrap to that hypothetical Ninja Hood.

huh nice job with that concept, i do think this is a major improvement from the original the new chest parts go a long way and i think that this deserves a solid 10/10 i can’t find anything wrong with it.

I feel like it would work ever so slightly better if it didn’t have controls. That way it could simulate a Nindroid just plugging themselves in and controlling it with their mind.

Otherwise, 9.9/10

The ironic thing is that it originally didn’t have controls.

It was a suggestion from Kyoryu that Implemented because I didn’t know him on Skype yet so I still slightly valued his opinion because it was my first day on the Boards.

Epic! defiantly an improvement!

It took me a minute to see that this was a mech.

I consider this a failing on my part.

But I don’t know what to fix.

The new version is in HD!!!

But seriously, good improvement!

I don’t see where you’re coming from…

Yah, I got an actual good camera a week ago, so that certainly helps.

This is great. Definitely a step up from the first one. I really enjoy the actual pilot compartment of it a lot more. :smile:

Aight so

Did some additional alterations, but not really anything deserving its own topic

Edited the hand, and chestplate, as well as the backs of the legs. Again.

Just so everyone knows, the one grey bone was intentional. Notice the Pilot’s silver arm.

I rather like these fingers. they give me Delta Megazord/Cybertron Wing Saber vibes. I feel like they could be used as like, guns and such.

They make an…okay…ish
fist.

The car spoiler on the knuckle also serves a purpose.

Added a snazzy interface panel to the knuckle. Just cause, really.

So yeah, that’s about it.

looks good.

Oh yeah, forgot Deneb had finger guns too.

Likely because Vega Form is so underused that they hardly get utilized in fight scenes.

And the dragonzord.

Never forget the dragonzord.
