My least favourite one is the stormtrooper
Lego actually made a line based on Japanese mechs in the late 2000's called Exo-Force. I suggest looking into it if you like japanese mechs.

Not making a hate comment just saying they are called gundam
The wings and gundam aesthetics really make these look a lot cooler, really sleek!

Thanks! I think they are a fun addition.
Stoked as I am that figures like Vader and Boba Fett are in such affordable sets, it's great to see someone finally look at the builds themselves with some real care. Star Wars taking notes from Gundam (which already was inspired a lot by Star Wars) was a perfect artistic direction for these, and despite this being your first time you really knocked it out of the park!

Pretty sure this is actually a thing in the Star Wars legends, basically big exosuits for space combat and spaceship repair. Sadly, its less Gundam and more Alien mech suit :(

As a LEGO MECH specialist, I have to say you did great for a first try! I especially love the Factory! And personally, love the StormTrooper! It does have a little bit of a GUNDAM VIBE! Would have given it a bigger Rifle instead of the Sword, but it still work.

I've made my own custom Lego titan and he's only about the size of my hand plus I made 6 comics about him.
Lego really wasted a lot of potential considering there were actual Imperial mechs in the Force Unleashed video game..
My favourite is boba fett, mainly because of the big cannon on his arm it looks cool good work

As a Gundam builder, I just bought the Boba Fett Lego set and I went straight away to search on KZread if someone made an update to look like a real mech build. I think you made a really great job with all 3! I love the factory as well. Thanks for such a good content, I appreciate it!
I don’t understand how this guy doesn’t have at least 1 million subscribers. His editing is fantastic. His studio is fantastic and best of all his mocs are to.
The Boba Fett upgrade was definitely the best! I wish they made a yellow version of that black piece you used in the back shoulder then it would be PERFECT or maybe a light gray to match the blade and turret base
I like how you used LEGO Star Wars buildable figure blasters for the shoulder cannon . I kinda miss buildable figures no longer being produced but I understand .

I like the creative Liberties you took when upgrading the mechs
Love how the storm trooper mech turned out, and I definitely agree the boba mech has the best colors. I may honestly just buy it for the fig and the sand blue🤷♂️. The upgraded mechs looked awesome!

Thanks man! I would say the Boba mech is worth it. Glad you liked the upgrades!
There was definitely a Japanese vibe to the stormtrooper mech, though it didn’t feel reminiscent of any gundam series in my opinion. It felt more like a samurai design personally, which is still cool, but it really would’ve needed a proper head to be more MSG. Granted the form factor was limiting
The Stormtrooper reminds me of Exo Force with those shoulder pauldrons while the other two give me a loose Titanfall vibe. These are awesome and I'd pick them up to try my own shot at these customs!
my favorite was the stormtrooper cause the wings looked absolutely awesome

The Stormtrooper is also very shogun-y.
these mechs look amazing! the only thing i’d change is replacing those evo “joints” in the limbs. they really limit the posing.

Great redesigns! I've always wanted to see humanoid mechs in Star Wars, but not what LEGO had in mind. I imagine Star Wars mechs being closer to something like Warhammer 40k or Halo.
Just built the Storm Trooper and Fett Mechs with my kids last night. Then watched your video afterwards. You did an amazing job adding onto those builds. Love your style. Looking forward to more of your vids.

I think that if you added an orange robo pauldron to the upgraded stormtrooper he'd look like a mech commander and I think he'd look great in the factory. Kinda like a final boss

That's a dope idea!
Favorite has to be Boba Fett's. Being excessively decked out with weapons feels like what Boba Fett would be seen piloting. On a side note, I can imagine using several Stormtrooper mech sets to make an insane General Grievous mech.
Boba built his outta the remains of his dad's mech and junkyard parts, and it rocks!
I love this style of mech in general. I collect Ninjago so I'm making mechs in this style for every character and villain army. And interesting that you've mentioned Bionicle because that's been on my mind while making these mocs. Imagine if we had a huge selections of small affordable sets like Bionicle. Enough with 500$, overly big, impossible to display, not intended for paly, packed in black boxes sets.

That’s awesome! Yeah I really wish we still had Bionicle. I understand why we don’t, but man, they made so many cool molds for them.

You should have episodes of each mech making a bigger mech like vertron
Boba Fett was my favorite, partially because he’s my favorite character, but I also really like the build.
Wow!I think these turned out great and I found the 332nd swamp speeder early.

Thanks! I wasn’t able to find the 332nd battle pack early. I think someone beat me to it at the store I bought these mechs from haha
I would love to see you revisit Boba in a video some day, by incorporating elements of the Slave I into him for the cockpit! I'd also like to see his legs beefed out somewhat.
honestly really great channel, videos like this are just short enough to keep my focus and really cool, keep it up man 👏👏

Thanks man! Had a lot of fun with this one. Stormtrooper is probably my fav as well.
The back piece on the Vader mech was from the 2020 emperor's throne room
Dang these all look sick! You should totally make videos on how to build them I would so buy these sets just to build the new creations u made. Keep up the great work!
Great video - you really worked hard on that! Love the factory idea! The Boba Fett looks really cool!
If the Empire had these kind of mechs, I wonder what the Rebel Alliance, or for that matter, their predecessors (the Galactic Republic and CIS) and successors (The Resistance and First Order) would have?
Love the design but I think the stormtrooper mech should have a blaster😊
I had a Black Tron station set back in the 90s. It was my only lego set so I rebuilt the hell out of it including dual mechs inspired by the cartoon, Exosquad. I was so proud of those builds, I left them as is for display. A few decades later, I found them in storage and showed them to my 4 year old, who loves legos. It was promptly destroyed in like 5 minutes. 😄
good, *now let's see you make a stormtrooper in space marine armor*
You know i really enjoyed watching this 8 minute video
Wow I absolutely love this. Was not a big fan of the mechs and now u really made me want to buy these based off that factory moc. Great video man keep it up!

Amazing and fun video! The factory build looks amazing.The mech sets would definitely have been more interesting this way over the way they are. Small correction with Vader's Cockpit. The "Tie Fighter" piece is actually not from a Tie Fighter. It is a piece from the Death Star. (Though, I'd associate that piece with the Tie Fighter)

Thanks! Glad you like the video! Yeah, I thought that’s what it might be given the pattern. Just wasn’t sure at the time. Thanks for the correction!
I like it. Right now I'm working on a dark trooper at a larger scale and a lot of the same principles apply with mech building. I bought the Darth Vader one and I might modify it to be a dark trooper. I love your addition of cockpits. Ps. You should tack down your baseplate when filming time lapses of base building.

The boba felt mech is by far my favorite by far! I do think it would look cooler with a bigger jet pack though
Awesome MOC! I already needed a new Vader, but now I'm looking forward to customizing my own mech too
I bought all three of these on impulse and they're pretty neat. I do agree that they're lacking in places though.
Nice video! Really enjoyed all the content. Great job on all the mech upgrades, my favorite is Boba Fett’s. Love that shoulder cannon!

Dude I have that exact same black bionical with the shield😂it was my favorite one of that line. Love the mechs bro! Sick!
bro love the gundam style ive been trying to that for weeks thx for tge inspo
Technically the stormtrooper one does make sense, it could be a spacetrooper(an actual things from legends) or if it was colored black it would be a phase 3 dark trooper which is a remote controlled droid, or a mech if it’s piloted by a stormtrooper
You should try and rebuild the mechs into something that fits more into canon, maybe like a small mobile walker or speeder work line
you actually got me thinking there could be a decent potential for LEGO Star Wars mechs! great job dude!
@firebirdbricks

Thanks man! It was fun to try and make these into something better (at least better in my opinion haha).
I like the stormtrooper one as compared to the other superhero/star wars mechs it seems like an actual in universe vehicle maybe as heavy support units or for construction on star destroyers perhaps?
All of the revisved mechs look so sick. I would pay money for them! Especially the stormtrooper and Boba Fett mechs.
I like the stormtrooper too.
In my opinion you should try to add elbow and knee joints
Vader upgrade: kinda like a knight with the sword and shield Stormtrooper upgrade: a swordsman Bobba fet upgrade: T H E F U L L F U C K I N G A R M O R Y
I think you were on the right track with using Gundam as your inspiration, but I feel like your focus might have skewed too heavily on main character Gundams in general when something like a GM or Zaku II (or any other number of mass produced grunt suits) would have been a better starting point. That being said, I think the Darth one was the only one that didn't really land for me. The stormtrooper suit reminds me of some of the Star Wars samurai figures that Tamashii Nations produced, and the Boba Fett mech definitely benefits from some heavier armaments!
all of these were great but my favorite was boba felt the canon was amazing and the sword to.
The one thing missinh from these is elbow and knee joints (Seriously, why has lego stopped making those. Even the earliest mech line had that)
Great new backround looks much better!

I actually like the concept of a Star Wars mech factory
Would have actually been neat if Star Wars had mech suits canonically
DEFINITELY the Mandalorian mech!
I think a better mech would be through the use of CCBS parts alongside this. (Mainly the CCBS heads for Vader, the Stormtrooper (can perhaps include Captain Phasma as well), and Boba).
I like the stormtrooper one because it reminds me of some old concept art i saw a while back
Killer new set up with the nice lighting and mic hook up

Firstly I just have to quickly say that YOUR Boba Fett Mech Adaptation is my overall favourite - well really you’ve done a completely different concept apart from the fact that it’s a “Mech” which is really really cool. The way that you have laterally pulled in the personal impact and interest from “Manga?” style - Japanese animation is simply great lateral thinking 👍 I just have to say at this point that Boba Fett has been a character thru the years all the way back to being a kid that has always inspired & deeply interested me by his mysterious backstory, well what used to be mysterious. I really (REALLY) was taken aback by the content of your video. 1. Working from the base plates up was a wonderful idea and you executed it in a way that was quite inspiring. 2. Your IMAGINATION shines through with all the “left of field decisions” that you have made as you have continued to build - to create your initial descriptive vision. 3. I Really like your back story as to why you have built the Imperial Stormtrooper Mech Factory Only as “Vader would force jump and Boba would somehow use his jet pack”. 4. You did not deviate from your initial concept, which is quite often. (I find anyway) a challenge once I, or other people, start building from their imagination. 5. You weren’t afraid of pushing the boundaries when pulling in your other reference points as inspiration… ie: I love the wings on YOUR completed Storm trooper Mech. 6. You didn’t “draw” anything 👍 like a plan or a layout or anything - it was a direct “Stream?” from your imagination to the bricks themselves - which I really like as it doesn’t turn into like a production line as your self discovery happens in front of you, not from a Plan that you’ve previously prepared yourself with. 7. You showed your successes and little failures as you went along and how you learnt from them, which I think is about one of the most important things when working from (our) imagination. 8. I suppose I’m trying to say that you didn’t create your own “building instructions” before you started building - like the majority of other people building outside of the “box” seem to say is what you (we) should do. 9. I really like the finished piece as a whole. It tells the story as well as is a story that opens up in front of me as a viewer and similarly from your description as you as a builder. 10. Thank You for taking the time to do this it is seriously awesome!

This is probably one of the most well thought through comments I’ve ever received! Thanks for taking the time, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! Really, I appreciate it :)
The Darth Vader mech looks really cool
the reason the figures poked out on the stock mechs is because the figures are meant to sit not stand nut on other points rlly cool video dude
