kapten jei Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone. This is my first MOC here in Eurobricks. I just upgraded the Mine Mech from power miners because it kinda sucks. Hehe. FRONT SIDE BACK ENGINE MINER DUDE Comments please! :D Click Here for the gallery Edited March 22, 2009 by kapten jei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Legolas Posted March 22, 2009 A new member, with a freakin' awesome MOC! I love the whole design, and a perfect re-do of the original! I love the upgraded detail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted March 22, 2009 Whoa! That is really cool! I love how you kept most of the original pieces and just beefed it up! Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green dewback Posted March 22, 2009 a VERY NICE moc, reminds me of those APUs from matrix film. Retaining the original circular saw and pincer is a nice touch. I'm planning to add folding sword & flight pack for my future "yet to be bought" Mine Mech. Never owned any of the exo-force robots so this would be my first biped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kapten jei Posted March 22, 2009 Thanks! :D This is kinda my first Mech MOC using bricks. Most of my MOCs have been bionicle based. I'm glad y'all like it! :D Beefing the original mech was kind of the main idea...hence the name "Mega" Mine Mech. haha! thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Yoda Posted March 22, 2009 I like all of it except the white... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natman8000 Posted March 22, 2009 Looks pretty awesome! I wish I had your talent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted March 22, 2009 this is pretty freakin awesome, but the professor doesnt deserve the mech's machoness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted March 22, 2009 You did a really good job with beefing up that model, now it looks really tough and resistive. I especially like that fine and detailed rear side. Are these two round structures on the back supposed to be part of the engine or some kind of jet pack? Overall a very nice work in a good size, perhaps that spinning tool looks a bit too simple now, like a bad-boy-mecha playing with a pinwheel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
user Posted March 22, 2009 Whoa cool! This reminds me I have to post my mega mine mech! Great job on yours may I reccomend using a drill instead of the spin blade? Because that would bump up the coolness about 20%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kapten jei Posted March 22, 2009 Thanks everyone for your nice comments! I didn't expect it to be this well received. hehehe. Uhm.. the two big white things on the back are supposed to be sort of an over sized gas tank. I based the design on the gas tank behind the granite grinder. :D yeah, a drill would have been awesome, but I don't have the thunder driller yet, and anyway, I just wanted to upgrade the mech's body. Didn't really think of changing the tools. hehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted March 23, 2009 That's how it should look like! Briliant job! Rock monsters have no chance :D So what's now? Rock Mechs for Rock Monsters? xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raven Brickroft Posted March 25, 2009 Aha!! A Philbrickster!! The MOC's great. A beefed up Mine Mech. And with that size I don't think It'll be doing more mining. More combat and kicking rock monster big behind. Haha. OT: Are you residing in the Philippines? Where ever did you acquire that Mine Mech? Are the 2009 sets available already?

Maybe just wait for the real big Rock Monsters. Aha!! A Philbrickster!!The MOC's great. A beefed up Mine Mech. And with that size I don't think It'll be doing more mining.

Batbrick Posted March 27, 2009 This is such an awesome creation, good work! You actually managed to make me like a moc that has those ball joints in it, and that is no easy feat. The use of colour is nicely spread out, I'd love to see you make another Mine Moc! Batbrick Away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILikePi Posted March 28, 2009 Wow, that looks great! Much better than LEGO's version. How many pieces did you use to make it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreedingtheSpawn Posted October 10, 2010 Kind of on the fence on whether to buy this set or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Yellow Brick Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Awesome Mech, Very Pimped out Great job 'Kapten jei'. Edited October 17, 2010 by The Red Brick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aethersprite Posted October 18, 2010 I'm studying in Singapore now. Most of the sets are available here, but much more expensive than US prices. Tell me about it. Hope you like it here in Singapore! Anyway, great MOC! This is no upgrade, it's a whole new mech. I could barely tell it's a Mine Mech upgrade, great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted October 18, 2010 Very nice. The white things on the back make it quite interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milargo Posted October 18, 2010 Woah, very cool. Why can't Lego seem to get the Power Miner line right? This is fantastic, I just love all the details in there. Reminds me of Rock Raiders! (Which Power Miners also did, but in a deep loathing sorta way. ) It's got that 1990s cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
