Look Ma, there I am! Seriously, Slugger thank you for putting on the Summer of Slug. My submission was the first time sitting down to build legos in a decade or more. I felt like a kid again, and it inspired me go dump out all the tubs of lego in my basement and start the long process of sorting them out. (I've finished one bucket) My goal is to reconstitute some of my favorite sets I owned as a kid from the parts. Especially Rock Raiders!
That Junkbot build is amazing isn't it! And I agree, it's nice knowing these games are remembered and appreciated, some of them were really good considering they were just free browser games!
Made the car mech at 28:54 and maaaaaan, if I'd realised how many images everyone else was gonna send in I'd have done more than two, oops! That said getting to see it over the Lego island race music was frankly hilarious XD
DUDE YES! I knew you were a fellow educator, slugger! You have that vibe. A teacher can tell when they're dealing with a fellow teacher. I hope you have a great school year! It's great knowing there are other teachers who love rock raiders
16:47 Is my hot dog-serving mech! I had a lot of fun this summer. Thank you Slugger for continuing to put out the high-quality content we’ve come to expect! In a perfect world we’d be able to do these awesome community build events every summer.
29:49 So cool seeing my mech here. It was originally called 'School run' with the idea they were running late, hence the sons distressed look. having the seats all exposed on the back just seemed like the least practical way to do that to me so naturally I fell in love with the idea and had to do it that way. Really cool seeing what everyone else did for this, I really do think the best was saved till last though, Props to you ShyGuyXXL that train is amazing!
Hi, I just wanted to say a few things about my mechtropolis moc (the one at 19:42). I know it’s a weird design, so I’ll explain why I made such odd creative choices. You see, a lot of the elements here are references to Rokeri s Moravu songs: 1. The cow on the left shoulder pad is a reference to their song “Crna krava, belo mleko” 2. The phone on the right shoulder pad is a reference to their song “Erotična zona” 3. The pretzel behind the phone is a reference to their song “Sisoje, bidi veseo” 4. The boy and the pig on the mech’s chest are a reference to the song “Mali Miloica” 5. The tiles on the back of the mech are a reference to their song “Tabloidi” 6. The small 1x1 round tile of a monkey is a reference to their song “Ja Tarzan a ti Džejn” 7. The car segment and the guy with the viking hat are references to their song “Silikoni” 8. The cards near the car windscreen are a reference to their song “Iz dvojke u keca” 9. The snowman is a reference to their song “Piroćanski ća ća ća” 10. The Daffy Duck minifigure is a reference to their song “Patak Dača” 11. The torch Daffy is holding is a reference to their song “Keskese” 12. The green jar above the car is a reference to their song “Sinđa iz Mičigen” 13. The horse on the back is a reference to the song “Bol boluje Žikina kobila” 14. The minifigure holding the tan bar piece is a reference to their song “U našega rajka golema sviraljka” 15. The Šajkača on the head of the mech (the two green wedge plates)is a reference to their song “Šajkača mi preko oči pala” I know that’s probably a lot of references to put into 1 mech but I tried to integrate as many as I could without making the design too weird, feel free to give your thoughts on it. be they positive or negative. Also, sorry if some of the things I listed are hard to see or just not in the renders, it took me a day just to render these three so I couldn't make too many of them
Absolutely loved the Mechtropolis theme! It’s super fun and accessible, and everyone did a great job with their projects. I’m especially proud of my garbage munching machine over in the sanitary zone!
5:35 A mech for sharks! I love it! This one got fed up with the humans stomping around the shores and in the waters with their machinery, and thought "well hey, if you can't beat 'em... join 'em" Time to step on land and have a word with these hairless primates. 7:42 Hah! Even the dog gets a dogmech, I adore this. 13:01 Sick riffs bro, very industrial. Speaking of the music, I enjoyed the mix of your more "turn of the millenium" jungle/DnB tunes you used, along with your usual music. 33:41 That reminds me a lot of Dinobot from Transformers Beast Wars, the color scheme, claw arrangement, and the striped plating, not to mention of course the raptor head, Jessica's MOC just has that vibe. Excellent stuff, everyone's MOCs were so creative and charming. Folks really understood the assignment. Awesome prompt, and really nice artwork by Juniper. Thanks double R.
19:18 I got the idea and pieces for my mech from that racing car garage and the super robot creator sets. The idea was a mech made for racing. I wanted to keep the idea of being able to swap parts so the chest and back are custom bumpers made to look like they're from cars. As well the top of the head can be swapped for different engines
Everyone is so creative!!! 7:30, oooh a _Mono Eye_ style mech, my personal favorite facial style of mech. Intimidating like the cyclops of Greek myth? Or cute as can be? The latter I think! This is definitely one I’m gonna have to watch a bunch of times, so many great ideas. Can’t get enough of the music either, “a slimy slug is in your base!” The Slugger remixes got me just as hype as the builds! I’m quite proud of everyone involved, a beautiful episode.
13:00 Look Ma, I'm on TV! This truly was a showcase of epic proportions, and every single model is super cool and impressive! Watching this gave me so much inspiration, so together with the ideas already in the back of my head, once I get some pieces freed up from my more "non-civillian" mecha you bet I'll be building more Mechtropolis models!
I've got a lot of commenting to do for the last few summer of slug videos! D: (though, i could've sworn i commented here already, but i can't it. i think it's because of me putting one too many timestamps, on phone?) but yeah, Glad my two MOCs made it in, and seeing everyone else's mocs really got me inspired to make, EVEN MORE Mechs! XD. You might've helped me start something. I look forward to whatever the prompt will be for next year's summer of slug! XD
Glad I managed to slide in under the closing door on Mechtropolis! A street sweeper mech is a very silly concept and I had a ton of fun building it. I was going to make a second mech, simply named "The Street", because I thought stacking the mechs would be funny.
What a conclusion to the Summer of Slug!!!! That intro guy should be proud for getting it right, although I'm still not sure about "Kabaya set of people", that's really cutting deep... I really enjoyed the transit hub mechs!!!! And I liked the design of the city in general! Thanks for another great summer, Slugger!
Thank you Juniper! Also this is the perfect finale for this Summer of Slug, across all metrics I think the production of your most recent videos has gotten so much better which is insanely impressive given how high production value has always been something the Slugger channel has been defined by. The reprise of the Fabuland theme was great and Juniper's artwork was really breath-taking. Truly there is no summer like a Summer of Slug
Love these mechs!!! The little junkbots (14:17) are so cool. I love how several people had a similar idea of making a huge cheeseburger mech, it reminds me of when burger joints became really popular in my area and there were a ton of super similar looking diners in town. I love the idea of having that map of Mechtropolis and how you tell the lore, it feels like a real Lego theme that way, and it captures the vibe perfectly of how it's neither for kids nor for adults, it's something that really feels like it's for all ages.
22:15 FUCK YEAH MY SUBMISSION!!!! LOOK AT IT, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL despite the poor photography, but welp it was an honour to join in this year's MOC event, gentlemen, as my first one
12:29 As a multipurpose mech for various utilities, Freight is a good classification for handling small pieces and pulling and lifting boxes with its winch. I imagined the magnet feet and variable arms are specialized for scaling buildings and bridges for repairs, thus it could be part City Street and part Construction. Also, hi other Brickbot 13:57, nice greebling and that’s one inspiration in case of miscellaneous parts from a 2nd-hand bin.
38:00 some more notes about my submission, for anyone interested… -its design is based on set 6889 recon robot. I just thought that that design just looks like THE lego robot, in my opinion -This was going to have a stop motion but i got lazy and couldn’t finish on time, but in the background i was gonna add an EXO-FORCE bot thing (idk what they are called) building a building in the background, because i feel like mechtropolis is the kind of place thats constantly being expanded and upgraded. -i really like the use of the tie fighter window. I just think its a neat part. And not to mention the other tie fighter part that the legs use. -also slugger was going crazy with the remixes of his songs ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 -this is not the last mechtropolis mech im gonna make. This inspired me to make more. Super cool. Thats kinda all i have, but im tired so I’ll probably add more later. Theres probably things i forgot.
I just wanted to say thank you for this awesome series I've been tuning into every episode only hours after they release and it's been a great time, both for the nostalgia and the awesome quality of the video productions.
New to the channel so didn't realise about the mechtropolis submissions, think it's so cool that you showcase other people's builds, reminds me of the middle pages of lego club magazine! I'll definitely submit a build for the next project you have 😁
9:36 - 9:51 For some reason my brain immediately thought the background music was some kind of remix of The Canada Song from Mystery Science Theater 3000
Mechtropolis was a name I was going to use for a city in a game I was developing a few years ago. It's a great name and I'm glad to see someone else came up with and actually used it!
Hey slugger, I just wanted to thank you for all your work. Discovering your channel this summer not only rekindled my love for lego, but for content making as well. You are a huge inspiration and a master at what you do. Hopefully next summer I can contribute a lot more directly to you :)
Slugger I noticed your remixes of Driller Night and Path to Power! almost like a season two on some of your RR tracks :) Little touches like that make this send off what it is and explain why this takes considerable time to put together. Love all the music & kudos !
Eyyy! I'm so glad to have finally been able to see everyone's submissions! So much fun! I wish I had submitted more photos. I had a pile ready to go, but didn't realise that that was intended.
5 was generally the limit I was putting in, but it depends on how many submissions I get. I can't remember what I capped it at with Star Mail last year, but this year I had less submissions so I could afford to show more photos each. I do a quick calculation before I start editing to find what the sweet spot is. 🙂
Thank you for another highly entertaining summer, Mr. Slugger! Seeing all these amazing MOCs the community has made is so inspiring -- I've a mind to join in the fun myself, next year! Just a few minutes into the video, it hit me what I would've done if I'd decided to participate in Mechtropolis. I'd have gone for a strict 1980s LEGOLAND Town aesthetic, limited to parts from that era -- probably resulting in some sort of ungodly hybrid of 675 Snack Bar and 6882 Walking Astro Grappler. Honestly, even though Mechtropolis is over, I might still build something like that just for my own amusement.
"You all had a significant impact an impact on my ability to survive and thrive this summer" Slugger, my man, you had a significant impact my happiness this summer. Can't wait for next July! See you in the comments!
Mechtropolis? That looks like the dead remains of the Great Spirit Robot after the finally battle between Makuta and Mata Nui, used as structure for an entire civilization. Makes sense, since Metru Nui was a metropolis inside the robots brain dome.
Glad I could made it with the extended submition date, I actually missed the day cuz I got the dates mixed up with a school test I had. Also a great indirect birthday present for me :) My build is in 38:47 if anyone wants to check out
Hey Slugger- Gotta say this years Summer of Slug has been particularly enjoyable. Good luck with your students, if I’m able I may try to buy you a coffee or something. My music teachers meant a lot to me in highschool, and I love to give back. Who knows, maybe you’ll even get a Paradisa set in your PO Box sometime before November so I can finally shut up about asking you to… PLEASE COVER PARADISA SLUGGER :(
"You're the Kabaya set of people!" Damn Slugger, you're just going to sit there and let yourself take that? 😭
Actually the Kabaya Roboriders were better than the actual sets in my opinion
the "actual cancer" comment briefly fading in made me burst out laughing way harder than I'd like to admit
yeah me too 😄
Ditto, clearly they said so due to how Slugger produced videos, much like cancer cells, at an impossibly fast rate and no other reason whatsoever
me as well
That was quite the intro
Can't wait for Autumn of Slug!!!
Or Slug-o-Ween?
It's the Autumn of Slug 🎵
How many subscribers does a slug need to do TH-cam fulltime?
Look Ma, there I am! Seriously, Slugger thank you for putting on the Summer of Slug. My submission was the first time sitting down to build legos in a decade or more. I felt like a kid again, and it inspired me go dump out all the tubs of lego in my basement and start the long process of sorting them out. (I've finished one bucket) My goal is to reconstitute some of my favorite sets I owned as a kid from the parts. Especially Rock Raiders!
That's so awesome to hear, Matthew! I'm humbled that I was able to help inspire you to build again! ❤
14:21 man how nostalgic, glad I'm not the only one who remembers lego's old flash games.
That Junkbot build is amazing isn't it! And I agree, it's nice knowing these games are remembered and appreciated, some of them were really good considering they were just free browser games!
I love that one too, Junkbot is such a charming character, I'm so glad he was in that haunted house set a bit ago
I CAN'T HANDLE LOSING YOU SUMMER OF SLUG 😭
This is why the use of antidepressants skyrocket in September
The mini saga in the intro this Sumner was Amazing
Galidor building cuts deep
Imagine the price of that building!
Loved that someone remembered Junkbot!
It was such a fun game!
"You're the Kabaya set of people" lmao that's brutal
Wowee that's some neat art I bet the person who drew that likes to comment about herself in third person
Lmao
placement of junkyard is just right
I love how the city is built on a mech. Feels very bionicle too
Great stuff, Juniper!
Heck yea!
Made the car mech at 28:54 and maaaaaan, if I'd realised how many images everyone else was gonna send in I'd have done more than two, oops! That said getting to see it over the Lego island race music was frankly hilarious XD
That MOC was so cool! I think the two pictures you sent say a lot! 😊
"That's a good looking car I wonder if it transforms"-car immediately transforms "Yeeeaaahhhh!"
DUDE YES! I knew you were a fellow educator, slugger! You have that vibe. A teacher can tell when they're dealing with a fellow teacher. I hope you have a great school year! It's great knowing there are other teachers who love rock raiders
Same to you! It was my first day back today, and I had a blast! 😊
the summer of slug is over but the intro music will stay in our heads for ever
16:47 Is my hot dog-serving mech! I had a lot of fun this summer. Thank you Slugger for continuing to put out the high-quality content we’ve come to expect! In a perfect world we’d be able to do these awesome community build events every summer.
Very cool, I'm absolutely recreating this is my city some day, thanks!
Nitron, friend, if you're out there, just know I'd buy your construction mech in a second flat if it was available. Just amazing.
29:49 So cool seeing my mech here. It was originally called 'School run' with the idea they were running late, hence the sons distressed look. having the seats all exposed on the back just seemed like the least practical way to do that to me so naturally I fell in love with the idea and had to do it that way.
Really cool seeing what everyone else did for this, I really do think the best was saved till last though, Props to you ShyGuyXXL that train is amazing!
That's totally the vibe I got from it! Glad I wasn't far off the mark!

I made that boy 11:31 I mean seriously i did and I'm proud it was in the defense area
Sad to see the summer of slug come to an end, but I'm glad it happened! Hoping for a sequel next year!
BABE WAKE UP 🎵Its the Summer of Slug 🎶🗣 🎵It's the Summer of Slug🎶🗣
19:18 I got the idea and pieces for my mech from that racing car garage and the super robot creator sets. The idea was a mech made for racing.

19:27 I love this quirky pose!! Great work!
Thats right everyone slugger thanked ME in that intro for watching the video. Take that.
these intro song segments have been demented. love it.
holy hell, the song behind the Business District section is what my brain sounds like when I anxious-compose "guitar rocking song" in my head.
Thanks Juniper! Awesome art
34:32 Never before have I seen an acronym as good as this
Sanitation Department represent!!! (27:12)Great job as always Slugger, and a very happy end to the Summer of Slug 🎉
Everyone is so creative!!! 7:30, oooh a _Mono Eye_ style mech, my personal favorite facial style of mech. Intimidating like the cyclops of Greek myth? Or cute as can be? The latter I think!

That remix of The Path to Power at 14:46 is an absolute banger. Thanks for all the great videos this summer and good luck in the school year !

Thank you Juniper!

Awesome submissions! The LEGO Island soundtrack was a nice surprise.
Thank you for the awesome content!
40:26 actual footage of R.R. Slugger subscribers with every new upload.
22:15 FUCK YEAH MY SUBMISSION!!!! LOOK AT IT, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL despite the poor photography, but welp
it was an honour to join in this year's MOC event, gentlemen, as my first one
All these builds are amazing and the city art is sublime
12:29 As a multipurpose mech for various utilities, Freight is a good classification for handling small pieces and pulling and lifting boxes with its winch. I imagined the magnet feet and variable arms are specialized for scaling buildings and bridges for repairs, thus it could be part City Street and part Construction.
Also, hi other Brickbot 13:57, nice greebling and that’s one inspiration in case of miscellaneous parts from a 2nd-hand bin.
32:34 that’s me! So glad I was able to participate in this year’s SoS, and so fun to see all the work folks put into these fantastic builds!
My personal favorite, though I’m biased by nostalgia, is the Junkbot build!
14:25 BRO i forgot about junkbot!!! this just brought back so many memories!!
17:00 "This is fine...."
32:40 right in my childhood!
I love how you chose fitting music for each section of the showcase, your effort really shows, I can’t wait for next year!
39:14 There I am, Gary! There I am!
21:10 There *I* am, Gary! There *I* am!
30:04 There I am, Gary! There I am!
This was a blast! Thanks for making the Summer of Slug!
38:00 some more notes about my submission, for anyone interested…
-its design is based on set 6889 recon robot. I just thought that that design just looks like THE lego robot, in my opinion
-This was going to have a stop motion but i got lazy and couldn’t finish on time, but in the background i was gonna add an EXO-FORCE bot thing (idk what they are called) building a building in the background, because i feel like mechtropolis is the kind of place thats constantly being expanded and upgraded.
-i really like the use of the tie fighter window. I just think its a neat part. And not to mention the other tie fighter part that the legs use.
-also slugger was going crazy with the remixes of his songs ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
-this is not the last mechtropolis mech im gonna make. This inspired me to make more. Super cool.
Thats kinda all i have, but im tired so I’ll probably add more later. Theres probably things i forgot.
Thanks for putting my mech in the video ❤
Summer of slug is already over? Sheesh...time flies fast when you are having fun(
I just wanted to say thank you for this awesome series I've been tuning into every episode only hours after they release and it's been a great time, both for the nostalgia and the awesome quality of the video productions.
New to the channel so didn't realise about the mechtropolis submissions, think it's so cool that you showcase other people's builds, reminds me of the middle pages of lego club magazine! I'll definitely submit a build for the next project you have 😁
OMG IM THE CREATOR OF TAXI MAD THANK U SLUGGERRR!!!!!!!!!
What a summer! I think seeing everyone's creations is my favorite part of summer of slug, and its really special seeing my build be a part of it all!
really glad the algorithm pointed me your way this summer! love the production and everything about your videos!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! ❤
No! The Summer of Slug will always be ongoing! It never ends, so long as we can access the videos.😊
The oldschool Junkbot motif! Great!
Bless you, Slugger. Everything about this was beautiful
it was very fun to be a part of SOS once again, and thanks for all the fun videos over the summer!
Thanks for an awesome summer of slug and for featuring my builds!
9:36 - 9:51
For some reason my brain immediately thought the background music was some kind of remix of The Canada Song from Mystery Science Theater 3000
Thank you Slugger! I enjoyed the summer of slug and learned a lot. All the best to you, kind Sir.
Super excited for next year :D you made gritting through the summer heat better with your videos!!
These intros were some of my favorite parts of the Summer of Slug, thanks for the amazing content
Mechtropolis was a name I was going to use for a city in a game I was developing a few years ago. It's a great name and I'm glad to see someone else came up with and actually used it!
Valorie's mech at 19:17 is so expressive with the eyes!! Love that.
OHHH TALOS4'S AXOLOTL BOT AT 31:40 oh my goodness
Loving the Johnny Thunder mech at 32:32 by Dryad Builds
Wow! I didnt know you were a teacher, that makes so much sense, and your kids must be lucky to have you every year
Hey slugger, I just wanted to thank you for all your work.
Discovering your channel this summer not only rekindled my love for lego, but for content making as well. You are a huge inspiration and a master at what you do.
Hopefully next summer I can contribute a lot more directly to you :)
Thank you so much, Kenji! Welcome to the channel! ❤
it's been a righteous, slugtastic voyage, Slugger! thanks for all the Summer fun and continually-improving quality in LEGO videos.
Slugger I noticed your remixes of Driller Night and Path to Power! almost like a season two on some of your RR tracks :) Little touches like that make this send off what it is and explain why this takes considerable time to put together. Love all the music & kudos !
Also track releases please ? 😳👉👈
@@wyattvarley5607 One of them has been released - link in the description!
@@RRSlugger ah I misattributed these to you! Thanks for pointing me to the original artists :) all the stuff about your efforts still apply
JUNKBOTS ARE AMAZING
It can’t be over already. :( Glad Slugger gave us such a great summer!
Thanks for the slugmmer! Hyped for Orient Expedition hopefully returning!
For sure! Late 2025, if I had to guess.
A wonderful summer of slug! Thanks for all of this, you delightful hero among men.❤
Eyyy! I'm so glad to have finally been able to see everyone's submissions! So much fun! I wish I had submitted more photos. I had a pile ready to go, but didn't realise that that was intended.

This was awesome! Thanks for putting all these together!
Thank you for another highly entertaining summer, Mr. Slugger! Seeing all these amazing MOCs the community has made is so inspiring -- I've a mind to join in the fun myself, next year!
Just a few minutes into the video, it hit me what I would've done if I'd decided to participate in Mechtropolis.

Honestly, even though Mechtropolis is over, I might still build something like that just for my own amusement.
If you do, send pics to me too! I could sneak it into an update video down the road. 🙂
Thank you Mr slug this summer was as good as the last one!
Great work to all the builders and amazing video as always Slugger, loved the music as well!
my word 😅 enough moc pics from fans to make a 40 mins video. That is some amazing great support. And that artwork of Mechtropolis 😘👌 awesome
"You all had a significant impact an impact on my ability to survive and thrive this summer" Slugger, my man, you had a significant impact my happiness this summer. Can't wait for next July! See you in the comments!
Thank you - I'm humbled! 😊
Loved designing the Dog Walker for this year's Build Collab. The summer of slug is my favorite part of the year and I am so excited for next year!
So you’re telling me that “So, You Want To Get Into LEGO RoboRiders?” has a chance to happen before the year’s over?
😅😅😅
Awesome mocs, I love the idea of mechtropolis. It actually makes me think of early 90s Lego like Cyberslam.
Encore !
I'm new, arrived this summer and will be sticking around 🙂 Thanks Slugger for the wonderful Lego entertainment.
Mechtropolis? That looks like the dead remains of the Great Spirit Robot after the finally battle between Makuta and Mata Nui, used as structure for an entire civilization. Makes sense, since Metru Nui was a metropolis inside the robots brain dome.
Mine is 4:47 but I really love what 5:01 did, the same basic concept but an entirely different and very cool execution!
Never before have I double-taked so hard at the start of a video "you're the Kabaya set of people!"
The summer of slug was a truly momentous occasion it will be missed until next summer 🫡❤️
Glad I could made it with the extended submition date, I actually missed the day cuz I got the dates mixed up with a school test I had.
Also a great indirect birthday present for me :)
My build is in 38:47 if anyone wants to check out
It came up just as I read your comment, it's a really good one!
@@rennythespaceguy7285 Thanks!
Just stopped crying after 2 hours. I can't believe summer went so quickly
0:32 meow meow meow meow 🎶😭
Hey Slugger- Gotta say this years Summer of Slug has been particularly enjoyable. Good luck with your students, if I’m able I may try to buy you a coffee or something. My music teachers meant a lot to me in highschool, and I love to give back. Who knows, maybe you’ll even get a Paradisa set in your PO Box sometime before November so I can finally shut up about asking you to…
PLEASE COVER PARADISA SLUGGER :(
Haha, thank you! 😊
RR slugger snuck into my room and stole all of my Lego Ben 10 buildable figures he can’t keep getting AWAY WITH THIS…..
Awesome mechs! I love the farming and construction ones
