So I built this yesterday out of an old Exo-force set and the Galaxy Squad mech. I'm not super happy with it, but I'm using it as the prototype for the mechs in my army so I figure I'm going to tool around with it a bit more when I have time. I took these with my laptop camera since my phone camera is broken at the moment. (Came out good enough to see details but still pretty crappy.) I'll have to take better pictures of it once I fix the camera. Anyway:


Front of the mech. Left arm is equipped with a atomic-powered minigun cannon, laser-powered standard minigun, and "The Big One" heavy missile. Right arm is melee which can be changed to whatever is wanted.


Later designs of the main cannon will have interchangeable ammo, the back canisters can be switched out for the current battle.


I was lazy with the melee arm, I might even make a proper sword before I start on the next version.


This is something cool, I used one of those technic turntable parts to make a 360-degree swivel waist. it's mostly stable but it could be better, I still need to improve it.


Here is a much better view of the turntable, I don't know how well you can see what I did but if anyone is curious I can post the design.

So sorry for crappy images, but figured I shouldn't waste time not posting stuff. When I finally fix my phone camera I'll post more pictures of this and other stuff I'm building. Comments and criticism welcome.

(For the record, this isn't close to what my skill level is. But I'm at college with very limited lego and also its been a couple years since I sat down and really built something. I'll have to see if I have my old stuff on the hard drive somewhere...)

That gun.
This guy knows how to do it.

I like it a lot, although it looks a bit scrawny from the waist down.

Very neat, just try to make the back a little more bulky.

Mechas shouldn't skip leg day either.

It's cool. I agree with the comments about the legs but even still its very sleek and stylish.

Yeah, when I can revamp it, I'm going to make the legs better. They were the least unaltered from the exoforce set, but I made it pretty top-heavy with all the additions. The gun I might use on a different mech, I like it a lot, but it might be better suited for the next model I'm building, we'll see.
