I just got pulled back into Battletech. Who knew the miniatures were dramatically cooler looking than I reminder them in the 90s. But these mech suits also look totally radical. I do want to paint one of my mechs like the Sergeant's color scheme.
Mecha frames were popularised by Japanese Lego fans in the early 2000s and the concept of one central core that can be customised has stuck around ever since. Strange to see them in a commercial product. I hope these are unique designs that weren't stolen from the community.
Just letting you know I finished my custom animated triple changing marauder Megatron, since you wanted me to tell you. He is soooo badass looking Great video as always too!
Those are really impressive. The colors and designs are near perfect. At one time, I seriously thought about collecting Lego and similar building toys. But I decided to build my toys out of cardboard! It was (how can I say it?) an economic choice.
Hey, I recognize some of the pieces in here from the Kre-o sets, must be using the same molds. I am really a fan of those frames too, much more intricate than the Lego ones im used to.
Oh man, these look really cool. I've just got back into Lego and have been tempted by some of the cool bootlego options and these are definitely speaking to me. I remember seeing a few years back that someone had created a mech-based tabletop game where you design and build all your mechs out of Lego, so presumably these would be good for that.
Wait a second, that piece in the middle of the axe handle is a Kre-O piece. Not only did they bootleg LEGO pieces, but they’ve bootlegged Kre-O pieces and mixed them into the assortment, fascinating.
2:25 This reminds me more of ES Twitch than anything. These mechs look pretty nice, which makes me sad the official mechs (or at least the superhero/Star Wars ones) seem to have deliberately phased out knees and elbows. I wonder if there will ever be any third party options that tackle 2000s Exo-Force nostalgia.
I was just about to come here and say that Sergeant is seriously knocking me over the head and stealing my wallet with the 'LEGO Roadbuster' vibes. He didn't have to steal my wallet too, but that's just him going the extra mile.
Price of a Kit-Kat chat returns! *geshcast dooosh noise* I am aware of the Marvel mechs as I got the Rocket one for Step Dad, he enjoys Lego. Kind of tempted to get the pair of these to build together with him, can toy robots bring me and my step-dad, who is a wank, closer together? Probably not but might worth a try.
Building frames and then decorating them is definitely something Lego tried one day. But no where near as interesting as this. no one has the balls to sell a brick built rotary grenade launcher like knock offs do, ive got to commend them.
What ever you do don't look for Mega Bloks Halo exosuits. they are not really cool at all. and don't even think about the Halo Meridian defense cyclops, just uncool.

I would gladly forgo my monthly Kit-Kat to support Gavin
I love the miscellaneous toy reviews. I'm here for TRDQ no matter the T.
Did not expect these to fit a minifig, that's brilliant! These look like great fun!

Building brick mechs like these are always nifty to see
i really enjoy brick built mechs!
So glad you reviewed these, I have been on the fence about these for a bit now but I think I will buy them.

Great video as always too!
Ahhh Incredible! Take pics if you're coming to TFN!
@TRDQ thank you!
all the pics are on my Twitter account, and I will be taking him to both the minicon and the main one. Can't wait to see you there
Sod the engagement! These look awesome! Hopefully they send money your way because I'll pick up a few of these!!
As far as I’m concerned this isn’t a Transformers channel, it’s a Gavin channel, where I go to have a precision dose of funny no matter he’s doing.

This is fantastic, I learned about a cool new toy. And laughed quite a lot.
Pretty slick looking, really.
I’d happily sign up for your Patreon gav.
You and me both!

These look great.
They are!
Did you know the official creator has made stop motion animations with some of these guys? Highly recommend checking them out
These look fun 🤩

You mean Mobile Frame Zero? I have heard of that
oh I covered this line a bit ago myself actually, they're a lotta fun
Those look really nice. Sorely tempted to look them up now.
Hope you're having a good day!
the humoungus axe and the name rita makes me think that's a reference to all you need is kill, aka edge of tomorrow if you aren't cool
Good job with the the grammar, not a single error
Your right

You can buy the mech skeleton by itself. I would like to see someone using the mech skeleton to make a transformer around it.
Ok these look … actually rather good. To the billionaire-owned online retailer that has my bank details, Batman!
Always something about building your own toy, isn't there?
