EN's new worker mech

[Batbrick]

Hello, I've been in a huge MOCing mood lately, and this is my latest little endeavor. I'm not sure if it belongs here, being a mech, but it is more of a real world mech, and is to be used as part of my contract with the Eurobricks Nations. But if it need be moved, thats fine.

Anyway, before the old "Firebox" APC can be replaced, my town (the newly named Brickbat Valley) needed a new mech for challenging military and construction purposes. The result was far more advanced than any could have hoped for. The X-1 Worker mech is the first of the latest military projects from my research department, and through a series of trial and error now has reached perfection.

Here are some shots:

It can carry and lift large loads, and can go on terrain that an ATV could never dream of. A new sealed variant is being prepared for a moonbase project in the future, as well as a possible armed variant.

Its arms are very posable for lifting, holding things in place, and many other multitasks that make the X-1 so versatile.

Lifting cargo, the X-1 can even walk up certain stairs and walkways:

The official order was placed in the company of fellow EN Founders Stauder and Dr. Sinister, who were reportedly impressed that the budding military force of Brickbat Valley could create such a machine.

The only delay was an isolated accident when an incompetent X-1 pilot under the influence proceeded to nearly crush the good Doctor S with the cargo:

Fortunately there were no severe injuries, and the drunk pilot was immediately detained and placed into the X-2 program, which sources say may be a brain altering experiment to create supersoldiers, that in the process destroys your very humanity. Dr.S stated "He got what he deserved" while fellow EN Founder Stauder claimed he was "very hopeful for the X-1, and any other projects to come from Brickbat Valley".

Co-Founder of the EN and local leader Batbrick left only this statement, "Go away, I have some inhumane experiments to do on that drunkard, had the good Doctor been harmed no doubt so would I".

Hope you enjoyed that tale, and the mecch, comments and any criticisms appreciated.

Batbrick Away! >:-)

Very nice work, Batbrick *y*

It has a simple design, but full of deatils, and I *wub* the way you built the arms, so clever and highly movable 8-

[Inertia]

Wow cool! Great work! X-D

Very cute little mech! :-D The arms are great, and very posable, and the crates are awesome too. :-D The only thing that I find brings down the mech is how it looks when it's walking. It's a little too 'cutesy'. :-$ Perhaps a 1x2 click hinge brick could be added with details? That would give the mech more of a leg section, and would maybe improve on it a bit. It still looks great though! *y*

That crate looks awful heavy too, I sense a broken leg or two! Let's hope Doctor Sinister's in the finest of your medical care! X-D

Very nice! I like it - can we get some instructions?

[AgentRick]

Reminds me of the power loader from "Alien" X-D .

Thanks, but sorry, no instructions. The design is too weird to do instructions without a ton of work.

Hehe, I did base it off that a bit actually. Except I believe it was Aliens.

A charming work in a solid color scheme with an interesting shoulder design and nice

and somehow comical legs. *y*

I like it a lot. *y*

I think you just brought forklifts into the 21st century. :-P

[Batbrick]

Thanks for your comments guys! Here is the Weapon variant, which I am EXTREMELY happy with:

Its extremely stable:

Comments appreciated, enjoy!

Cool weaponry, very fine leg and cockpit improvement for that special purpose, good work. *y*

[Doctor Sinister]

Well, I've just left the Hospital, having had major surgery on my legs but it's OK BatBrick, I won't be suing you for dropping that stuff on me...yet. :-)

Nice mech' BTW - now that the pain has subsided, I can truly appreciate it instead of focusing on the agony it caused.

Thanks Asuka, those legs were too short before *sweet*

Thankyou Dr.S, my sincere apologies for that accident. Rest assured the perpetrator is now in a permanent catatonic state, please enjoy the suite, we even imported that wine you like, not the french one, don't worry.

This is nice and quiant. A little square, but it sorta reminds me of a chibi style. Don't know why, though. X-D

[zero1312]

Great!! *sweet* I love heavy firepower. *wub*
