Updated Aztech Deity build
Original: www.flickr.com/photos/messymaru/sets/72157647270176375
Basically rebuilt the Deity into my new frames with improved stability and better articulation.
Also, brand new color scheme using mostly pearl gold pieces and black for the most of the frame. Retained some reds and DBG there for a little variation.
And changed the overall proportion of the mech to a more feminine type.
Built for the Philippine LUG (PhLUG) 2014 Mech Wars community build challenge.

Upgraded build. Changed the head and left shoulder to something with more character.
Upgraded hammer to have a better side profile. Removed a few things from the back to streamline the look more.
Also reinforced the ankle pieces
- - -
Really wanted to give this guy a huge hammer and a really nice headdress and ended up with this design.
Thanks to J Sam's inspiration pics of Aztec warriors :P One of them contained a ring of sorts behind the head and that inspired the back piece.

Classification: Medium close-combat assault
Armaments:
PA - LNCLT90X Lance
SH - RTR01A Shield
- - -
Build notes:
Actually built this a few days after the GOLIATH. was supposed to just test out a new leg frame structure and ended up with this guy.
Inspiration was to make a lance + shield type mech that looked like it was very agile but still sturdy. Been wanting to make a torso design like this for a while and was really challenging building the torso with this particular aesthetic. I've also been wanting to make a lance for the longest time and was thinking about how to go about it. Finally got a shape I wanted for this mech scale.
Rising from the ashes of the Aztech Mystic, a Phoenix Warrior is reborn.

Classification: Medium mid-range assault
Armaments:
LR - ACKRSWA (tribute!)
- - -
Highly influenced by Armored Core 4's Aaliyah design and the Laser Rifle is actually a tribute to one of the best looking (IMO) weapons in Armored Core, the Karasawa.
Actually had this done roughly a month ago and was part of our recently concluded exhibit but never got around to posting it :o
Oversized hands stowed
A much newer model of the GIGAS mech.
Complete overhaul in the design and has improved functionality. Oversized hands are now detachable and can be stored, giving the GIGAS a normal and "wrecker" mode.
Also, new auxiliary arms added to the front waist plating.
Previous model:
Type: Hybrid/L-reFrame
Classification: Close Combat
A unique and heavily customized machine, the Katze is a deadly reFrame in close combat. The reFrame’s skeleton was customized to allow it to move freely in tight spaces, manuevering through enemy attacks with ease.
Armed with dual DA - PARSOL daggers embedded with ARMaTech’s beam shield technology, it can both attack and block in melee combat.
An extra customization option that was included with the Katze is a deadly tail with a dagger for its tip, serving both as an extra balance stabilizer and extra weapon.

Description taken straight from the Mech Wars 2015 primer. The last reFrame I've made for our primer actually and probably my most favorite among all the newer models I've designed.
Has that VR-Viper vibe to it (color, spiky look, and the heels).

White Bishop, originally created for the PhLUG Mech Chess challenge, this is already the 2nd iteration of the build.

Build notes:
An alternate build of the Blaustrum. Wanted a specifically melee-type mech that didn't look too fragile and was more of an elite looking build.
Swords can be sheathed to the sides

Built for the PhLUG (Philippine LUG) Spacetember September 2014 challenge.
Iǫtunn
Giant
The Iǫtunn is a conceptual assault type Exosuit that was originally designed for security escort missions on unexplored planets.
While the original Exosuit design was more of a functional piece of machinery, the Iǫtunn was equipped with increased armor plating and is equipped with a twin laser gatling gun on each arm.
- - -
Build Notes:
The original challenge for this build was to recreate / reinvent the existing LEGO Exosuit into a self-design.
Being more of a weaponized mech builder, I decided I wanted a sleeker, more assault-looking Exosuit that retained the overall shape and proportions of the original but showed an updated / upgraded look.
While I'm not really fond of creating mechs that have a minifig pilot, I'm pretty happy with the look of this. It was a real fun challenge to fit a pilot in there while still retaining the bulky feel I wanted :D
White Bishop, originally created for the PhLUG Mech Chess challenge, is now on a 3rd build

New frame, updated design.
Ditched the back weapons since the new experimental frame can't take a huge upper body load. Working on an alternate to accomodate that :o
also, new logo for me and new layout style :P something new for 2015

Build notes:
Another test build for a frame im working on, this time using the medium sized frame.
This is actually a revived / upgraded design from a previous build (www.flickr.com/photos/94659235@N06/sets/72157634491272724)

Classification: Heavy / Long Range Bombardment / High Defense
Armaments:
BZ---RDNVR011 Bazooka
SH---REACT01L3 Reactive Shield
Extra Equipment:
MS - RNMKR010T Vertical Missile Launcher
- - -
Build notes:
The bulkiest looking mech I've made to date. This was actually inspired by the HAIIRO (the missile pack is actually recycled from it). Was a huge learning experience since due to the heavy plating, the legs needed an extra mechanism (tank treads!) to spread out the upper body weight better and allow it to stand properly
Heavily inspired by VR-RAIDEN (hence the bazooka's name) and the Dom from Gundam :P
If you notice this is actually ver 1.5 since the first time I publicly posted this guy over at PhLUG's FB wall, it was only half finished :P

New frame with a heavy build in mind. Built for our group's mecha telephone game
Long overdue!
Finished updating this guy roughly 5-6 months ago but forgot about posting it :p
Updated build of the King www.flickr.com/photos/94659235@N06/sets/72157635273657802/
A better and sturdier frame, better articulation, and scrapped the old big sword in favor of these two arm mounted swords (they can swivel to the back but the cape would block them).
Comparing this to my newer builds though, there's a lot of things I would improve on.
Been working with a team of 13 people for the past few months to create this. It's basically an instructional PDF for our upcoming event this June called Mech Wars, a LEGO mech building challenge over at the Philippine LEGO Users Group (PhLUG).
[EDIT]
The eBook is now live for Amazon's Kindle platform
you can check it out here
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019W4KNVA
I had a lot of considerations over the past few months where best to distribute this and the price for it. Ended up choosing Kindle as the most accessible platform.

Just want to share the preview pics here :D
We created this primer with the goal of introducing both new and experienced builders to more advanced LEGO mech building concepts, discussing topics such as mech conceptualization, coloring, shaping, and etc.
Unfortunately, we are limiting the distributing of this exclusively to Mech Wars 2015 participants as an incentive for those who are joining the event.
The event is currently only for members of our LUG but we intend to expand this next year :D
We do intend to release it for sale for a minimal fee sometime in July but I won't go into detail regarding that here.
Feel free to comment on it. Our team would love to hear what you think (sadly I can only share the preview version).

Compilation of my MOCs for 2014. It was a great year and looking forward to a better 2015 :D
*Didn't include the blausturm in here thinking it'll fit better with the other guys I'll be uploading in the next few days ;P
3 frames, 3 test mech builds!
Will be uploading these guys soon! For now, just silhouettes for a teaser ;)
100% lego btw :D
