    Welcome to Mitch-Builds, I’m Mitch and I build custom LEGO creations!
    Ever since Exo-Force came out LEGO has been in love with MECHs but all the ones I’ve seen seem to be piloted by a minifigure. With this build, I want to branch out and put down some roots by having a tree pilot our mech. So today lets design an awesome custom tree-piloted Mech.

    The fact that you didn't use any actual bricks for the tree and instead used rods, Bionicle parts, etc, is probably one of the reasons why you are one of the best Lego builders on this site.

    and you could even say that the water pump also doubles as a water Gun too! So if it doesn't want to use lethal force via its rocket launcher, it can repel foes with the water jet, though that obviously means it'll need to replenish that water supply so it can keep itself hydrated.

  • @jacobcox4565
    @jacobcox4565 3 місяці тому +2

    I like this idea a lot because I've read a lot about trees and found out that they're more perceptive of the world around them than we thought. Apparently trees can "communicate" with each other via root systems and mycelium. Trees know the health status of other trees around them and they can even allocate nutrients and water to trees that are failing in health. So a tree piloting a mech that can interpret its signals as instructions to move would be a cool concept. Although, realistically, the mech would only do things like move towards sunlight or stand in place during rain.
