One of the coolest Lego sets of all time is the 8106 Aero Booster from the Exo-Force line. It’s a small (~ Toa Mata sized) mech with a huge detachable weaponized jetpack. Today I present you my own version!
First, the small mech:
I decided to follow the “classic” Exo-Force formula: a gun on one arm, a body-colored melee weapon on the other. This one is a buzzsaw that can also be used as a shield.
And here it is with the jetpack attached!
For the other arm, I thought a melee weapon wouldn’t make sense for a flying vehicle. But I still wanted an orange-colored blade … so I built a spear instead!
The original Aero Booster had a projectile launcher. I instead sacrificed all intierior space to include a spring-loaded set of shoulder straps to simulate holding the small mech in place. They use a dampened shock absorber so they open in a smooth way.
