[MOC] Ninjago Overlord Mech From S3 Rebooted + Purist Custom Golden Master

[King_of_Lomadia]

For the Golden Master I started with the legacy II version of the Overlord but I was left unsatisfied with the shoulder armour. In the end I settled on spending an embarrassing amount in order to get the original armour from the 2014 Golden Master. For the head I though the Crystal King's would work best. In minifigure form I gave him plain black legs, for the mech form I swap them for the purple and black ghost legs. 

The Mech itself was quite litterally scraped together, I didn't order any additional pieces to build it. It's not as good as it could be but I thought it was worth keeping in my collection. I used the weapon pack pieces in gold to get the detailing on the legs and made sure to include at least on layer of the golden ribcage. All this spikeyness goes nicely with the armour on the figure. The mech also has good mobility due to the hinges, ratchet joints and pin connections.

The more elongated shaping in the back help the mech appear more spiderlike. 

To truly unleash the Golden Master on Ninjago City you need some of that golden power to capture heroes and weave webs around the city. The golden webs from one of the Spider-man No Way Home sets can do just that. (Ignore the inaccurate young Garmadon).

Enjoy this bonus picture capturing some of the transparent red highlights making a spooky face.
