[MOC] "Sentinel" (MINI Mech completed)

[Nom Carver]

I think I should have updated my earlier topic but I am still waiting for head suggestions, meanwhile this guys turned out quite well with the new head, custom colors and guns, I hope you like them and would be more than happy to see some of this guys popping around in someone else's MOC's.

"The Sentinel combat drone has been developed by The Targus Engineering Enterprise under the request of the Terran government to fill a wide variety of roles; it has been designed to be large enough to carry thick armor plating and highly efficient power cells while still being smaller than regular combat drones or mech suits so it doesn't become an easy target for heavy turrets or artillery, it's also equipped with boosters for fast deployment on space or ship combat/defence and can be equipped with multiple other weapons and gear for more specific roles, its size makes it very agile and fast in comparison to other similar hardware and is considerably accessible. Without a doubt this will be the next step in mechanized warfare against alien invaders or rebellious colonies in outer space..."

I hope you liked it even if you dont comment (it seems to be a fairly quiet subforum).

Wow- for as straightforward as the build is, that's a pretty nice looking mech with good articulation. I could definitely see it being used for close-in support with minifig troops!

The head is well realised, the lever gives it a little extra dimension and the built itself is tidy and works together. Well done.

Thanks guys, this little thing may not be too elaborate or fancy as others but is very sturdy, I have seen other pretty good mechs around and wanted to build one for a while but a limited amount of bricks is always an issue.

I like them, especially the solidity and shaping, but I'm curious why are the arm joints different from the others in the fourth pic.

Thats a prototype or optional arm design, I still cant make my mind on which one to use, the problem with that one is that there is not enough friction on the shoulder articulation.

Great build. I want to try make one.

I would be honored, go ahead and see how it looks, and if you have some of those new ball joint bricks from mixels you may have a whole lot more mobility on the arms as you can see on the one on the right..
