I built these one at a time, and I am looking for any improvements that I can make. I am also currently constructing a base that should be almost impenetrable. the URLs of the video of the unit are to the left of their titles.

The hornet or helicopter was a bit of a let down but the mech was OK and i really liked the transport, it was like a halo or star-ship troopers thing. Definitely going on the big list of things to steel

Nice stuff, but it would be even nicer if you had better lighting when shooting the vids...

Pretty good quality videos, but it'd be nice if we got some quality pics too just to have something still to look at.

Mech 1: Needs a lot of work, it's pretty much a skeleton with a seat on top. You should give your minifig more protection. If you want to invest a lot of tek and special abilities then invest the parts too. There are lot of examples of all kinds of mechs online so just browse and keep building.

VTOL: Could use some cleaning up. Here's some simple examples (really not part intensive):

Armored Transport: Pretty cool, but eh, not LEGO.

Mech/Hardsuit: Cool little dude, nice articulation. you and 'mano should have a face off
