i'm currently in the middle of trying to work out a combiner build for the 3 sets, where only the pieces from each set would form a section of the combiner. what i have so far after playing around with the sets a bit, is that making Sora's and Cole's mechs in to the arms and sholders/upper torso and using Kai's mech to make the legs and lower torso should be the best way to combine them. the problems start from there, since making a mech that than turns in to a convincing arm is very hard, because the SCCBS limb pieces will need to form most of the limb of the mechs, making it hard to make it not just look like a mech was just stuck on there, and using other pieces would limit the scale a lot, so it's been a big problem. there is always the option of just mixing all the pieces from the 3 sets, and than making 3 compleatly new mechs for the combiner, but i like the idea that the combiner is made from 3 alt builds more.
Great idea but I think the sets doesn't have enough pieces. I just based this when I was building Kai's and Sora's Mechs. We need the new joint pieces used by the Big sets to combine the mechs. Mostly for the waist. The New Rachet piece can be used as a bicep swivel then the hips of the mech can be the elbow. But this design might need 5 mechs as there will be no parts left to reinforce the legs of the combined mode. My idea that I had noted down is this: - Look for good joints used in Big mechs to test. - Look for good Slopes and Mixel joints - Kai's mech to be the Upper torso. -- It's arms will have new Joint to attach the arms of the combiner -- The legs swing to back like when gridknight combines with Dynazenon - Cole's mech will be the lower torso and legs of combiner. Add a waist connector at the back that flips when in combined mode. -- The arms detached and combine with its legs to for the legs of the combined mode. Cole's can be buffed up for this and will still be in theme 😂. - Sora's mech becomes the arms and backpack. This way the mech can have wings or boosters. -- The Torso becomes the Backpack of the combiner -- The Arms combines with its legs to form the Arms of the combiner. this will help lessen the weight of the arms of combined mode as Sora's mech can be slim to look more agile. SCCBS libs can be the sections of the arms and legs to allow elbow and knee joints for the combined mode be made from armors or hidden when the mechs are not combined. The weapons of all mechs combine for the weapon of the combined mode. My problem now is the Combiner head. Could be stored in the back of Kai's mech when they're not combined. or it can be a Wu bot 😂 My updated Kai's Elemental Mech has the design for the cockpits. That's my draft for now. Might do it around 3rd quarter of the year 😂 I wish you good luck in your project. It's a great Idea and hope to see it when you finish it. 😁
@@Mechalaro my original idea was to use Kai's mech to have it's chest oben and fold down to form waist skirts/armor, and have the arms ether detach or fold up to form the sides of the combiner's torso, than have Sora's and Cole's mechs have there lower or upper torso attach to now open Kais mech and than the saim for the other side. there wouldn't be a waste swivel, since the 2 upper mechs need at least 2 attachment poins in the lower body. and i was planing on making the head and armor up the back with the Lloyd mech that's coming out on march 3rd, to have a better head. if any more mechs are revealed aside from Lloyd's mech that are in similar scale to the others than i'd need to see it to think of how to add it to the combiner. on another note, you mentioning using Cole's mech as legs got me thinking, if it would be better to make the mech a Centaur mech, insted of a humanoid one, and so on. I'll be sure to post acout the mech somewhere and link it to you, when i finish it. : )
Thanks! 😁 It's also my favorite unofficial Ninjago Mech for now! I'll modify it near similar to what I did for Kai's mech then show it together with my latest build during swap configuration tests 😁
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it 😁 I haven't seen the series or researched why Zane's didn't have a mech now. But it was a good opportunity to build one 😁
@Mechalaro yep and also maybe try to make Coles mech look similar to the one from the short bc that mech is my favorite, they should honestly try harder with putting thumbs on them, Idk why but no thumbs on the sets and seeing in the show just makes no sense
I'm glad to help out. 😁 Thanks for watching my videos. My example in this video was a bit restrictive due to the design of the mechs. You can use multiple LEGO Parts 99207 and 44728 if your mech has a bigger space with anti studs. You may also like to check LEGO Part 52107 too. I know there is a bigger version of this. I think these bricks can help to make the back slimmer compared to using Brackets. I like to try using these but I didn't find any in my bins 😂
I'm looking into making my wolf mask mechs while organizing my bricks. I'm also looking into making Nya's mech based on the concept art I saw. My order of new bricks for my bigger version of Jay's Mech also hasn't come yet so that still on pause for now😁 Hope to do more building this week then release some videos next week 😁
you did a very good job, if Zane had the right to his mech this year I think it would look a lot like yours except for a few slight details like the symbol on the torso and the new assembly system for the chest on the other hand I might have put the golden shurikens to make it different from the one released in 2022
Thanks 😁 I'm glad you liked the build. I can't stop looking at the gap in the chest so I went with 2x2 slope curved piece to hide those. 😂 I also liked to use the new rachet piece used by the other mechs but didn't have the budget right now to get another set for parts. I might update this when the pieces are available next month. I tried the golden shuriken but felt that it was too much gold. That's when I swapped the colors of the hips then went with these transparent light blue shuriken. They felt better when spun compared to the gold ones 😁
Please do Jay and Nya!
Yup but I don't have the parts for now. Might do it when I go home. 😁

That is clean bro!
You indeed made a great job on this mech! Wish this can be an official set
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it 😁
I haven't seen the series or researched why Zane's didn't have a mech now. But it was a good opportunity to build one 😁
I like it and it would be cool to see that mech in the series animated, I wish arin had his own elemental mech
I also like Arin to get a mech.
Arin's color scheme is unique compared to other characters and that would be a good color for mechs 😁
@Mechalaro yep and also maybe try to make Coles mech look similar to the one from the short bc that mech is my favorite, they should honestly try harder with putting thumbs on them, Idk why but no thumbs on the sets and seeing in the show just makes no sense
Why am i mad that this looks so good?
very good, love the idea of two shuriken, zane does use em afterall
Very cool build. 😊
Thank you 😁
Thx for telling how to do the backpack stud👍
I'm glad to help out. 😁

Nice I made one of those too
very cool 👍
Thanks 😁
I don’t have enough piece to make it
That's ok. Try to make something with what you have. You build might be better than mine 😁
That looks soo good and I hope you do a Nya one
Thanks 😁
Yup will make one for Nya when I get the minifigure and more parts. I been avoiding the SCCBS pieces but it grew on me after these builds. 😁
@@Mechalaro W
zane'z mech looks really cool
(badum tss)
I see what you did there 😂
Thanks 😁
Looks like you used 2 zane's evo mech, zane's evo dragon and extra pieces
I think yes 😁
I didn't track where I got the pieces but I did buy another Zane's Evo mech for this build 😁
Make all the ninjas elemental match
I don't get this message but I prefer to give each mech a unique look 😁
What mech are you working on now?
I'm looking into making my wolf mask mechs while organizing my bricks. I'm also looking into making Nya's mech based on the concept art I saw. My order of new bricks for my bigger version of Jay's Mech also hasn't come yet so that still on pause for now😁
Hope to do more building this week then release some videos next week 😁
Is this like an alternate build or a fusion build?
This a MOC I made based on the designs of the new mechs.
The parts are from my collection and two sets of 71761 Zane's Power Up Mech EVO. 😁
Oh ok
🥘😇
Cool
Thanks 😁
you did a very good job, if Zane had the right to his mech this year I think it would look a lot like yours except for a few slight details like the symbol on the torso and the new assembly system for the chest on the other hand I might have put the golden shurikens to make it different from the one released in 2022

I tried the golden shuriken but felt that it was too much gold. That's when I swapped the colors of the hips then went with these transparent light blue shuriken. They felt better when spun compared to the gold ones 😁
Do you check out?
I don't understand the question but if it's about checking comments, I usually forget to check when in a middle of building something 😂
Please do wildfire and Jay and Nhà🥹🥹
Ben je nederlands
Nee 😁
Hmmm
