Here’s my first mecha, Heaven’s Soldier.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=66188


It’s a hardsuit on the large side with some modularity included for the arms and suit color. This started out as a joint idea, and I soon had a good idea for the arms and upper body, but I could never really get the legs quite right... If you cut off the bottom half of the suit and looked at the top half alone, you might see what I mean... lacking... All the same, I think it turned out quite nicely and has a certain military feel to it. As for design, The joints are re-enforced with seran wrap and on the rotating parts, dried krazy glue (I know it sounds wierd, but it actually worked!). There are off the top of my head 28 points of articulation on this thing when hand parts are put on the arms (not counting the individual fingers). For looks, I took some rub-on decals from a MG zaku kit and put em on. The robotic version of the suit is just a recoloring job with a different head and two different weapons (Large Magnums). If you notice any of the color differences, it’s because I have a small amount of parts to work with.

Here are the armaments:

Primary Weaponry- Right Arm

Bolt Gun: A repeating weapon with average damage to other infantry suits.

Gravity Cannon: This emits a powerful blast of energy that rends the earth below it and takes out a suit in one hit.

Secondary Weaponry- Left Arm, Left Hand, Right Hand(Heat Blades)

Energy Handgun: A semi-auto energy weapon that does low damage to a suit, and will kill a man in one shot. It’s used as a last resort.

Beam Cutter: This small blade is used to clear anything hindering the hardsuit; It does some hefty damage to anything it touches, but this also puts the owner into dangerous close-range combat.

Heat Blades: Two katana-like blades are heated to the point where they’ll slice through almost anything metal. They fit on top of the suit’s hands.

Energy Shield: Not exactly a weapon, this fits onto the suit’s left hand and emits a wave of energy capable of deflecting most attacks.

All right. I hope I didn’t write too much. I’d get into a bit of story, but I’m mostly just into describing what each weapon would do (and it would be cheesy anyway). Ok, I’m really rambling now. Thanks for giving me your time. Criticism is welcomed!

Let me know what you think.

(...) Hi Joel. I like it very much. As a matter of fact I was thinking of doing something similar for one of the races in my lego universe.

(...) This is good. This is DAMNED good. I commend you for your innovative designs......I'd never have thought to use a mini-fig helm as a MECHA head! that's a load off my mind for when I create mine......I may need your (as well as everyone here) (...)
