I didn't think the official builds were that bad until you showed your version. Absolutely smokes them!
Nah the first one that was made is peak
@@dr.felixou8428no
Could you talk about the folding and rolling ability of all the droids, and also try to make a moc that dan fold up nicely.
Those fourth and fifth designs were pretty good at rolling, so thats why they were my favorites. Would love to see that as well.
The first one also folded up pretty much perfectly into a ball.
I made one out of spare parts I had as a kid and it was my favorite thing ever since I could actually roll it like a Lego Bakugan
@@departedwitch5228First one was perfect for rolling.
@@departedwitch5228bakugan....... shouldve kept making the good old series instead of the new ones
No the first ones legs stick out to much wenn folded up, but is think its still the best one out of all the Lego Editions
I was expecting your build to be the classic moc-maker "three times as many parts, half of which are in out of production colors", but your design is surprisingly modern and genuinely looks like something we could get from a set today!
Yeah! I was impressed how simple and good it is!
Biggest issue is the classic revolvers which Lego seems to be straying away from with what I’ve seen but they did bring them back for the Indiana Jones line so it’s definitely a lot more possible. Not like they couldn’t replace that part anyways.
Wow, I really like your droideka design! The use of the claw piece is genius! I haven't used droidekas in my videos because I've just never found a design I liked, this one may be a winner!
Thanks! Glad I could help!
@@groovybonesYou stole the design!
from whom
There's another variant you missed. It has a singular blaster pole sticking out of the center, and it's the biggest and tallest droideka. Pretty sure it's the Sniper, don't remember which set it's from.
I had that one. You’re right it is based off a sniper droideka from the clone wars which was only in an episode or two. The set is the 501st at-rt but I don’t know if it came in any other sets. I really like the curvature of the brown “spine” but the scale is waaay to big.
its from the 2014 AT-RT set the sniper droideka
Sniper
Yep, the Sniper droideka, from the 501st At-Rt. Strangely from a set themed around the Umbara arc, where outside of the supply ship, no battle droids are present.
@@Witherlisk yeah, the Droidieka Sharpshooters first appeared at the start of the zygerrian arc; laying down suppressive fire against anakin and asokha when they're trying to defuse a bomb
Really bizarre that the latest retail Droideka model doesn’t even have ARMS. Its guns are just straight-up clipped to the waist.
I'm really suprised at how good your's looks for being in scale. That's exactly what LEGO should do.
Thanks! I think my design might be a bit too fragile for a real set haha
It’s light enough on the pieces that this could probably be an Advent Calendar build
@@groovybones Lego could produce a custom body piece really, they did for pretty much every other droid. Anyway, your design looks great
@@genadiyrool I personally feel like there's a magic to things being entirely brick-built. I'm sure that would help with accuracy, though.
@@billywerber9117 of course, i agree, there is an art in this which is absent in pre-molded shapes. but i personally do think of droideka to be more like a minifigure rather than a construct. brick built objects to me have a feeling of something inanimate (not that droidekas are, but i think you know what i mean)
Droidika and Bohroks always felt like the same idea in different worlds at the same time.
They both have a similar design, they roll and some bohrok can shoot or produce a shield. Plus lego made both.
There's something about robots that roll about that is so unique and menacing.
The thing that kept me up at night as a child for bohroks though were the parasitic brains 🤮🤮 when kid me saw the phantom menace, droidekas freaked me out for a very different reason - i really didnt want liam neeson to die
Both got lego sets in 02 despite appearing prior (Droidekas in 99 and, while not directly appearing I don't think, MNOG was heavily drenched in Bohrok references) late-game)
No wonder I loved both so much! I don't remember which I was exposed to first, Bohrok, or Droidekas? I was born in 2002 so it could have been either, but MNOG seems to contain some of my earliest memories so I'm really not sure
Amazing build! Just wanted to mention that because you used the Aeroblade piece for the base, you can put two brown 1×1 round tiles with bar and pin holders (part 20482/31561) in the two bar holes near the rear leg to replicate the shield generators
I really like this idea! Unfortunately they conflict ever so slightly with the arms. Something to consider for a future version though. 🤔
A simpler idea I thought of for the shield generators would be to use two brown 1x1 quarter-circle tiles on the studs
That was by far the best smol droidika that I have ever seen
Like everything else was multiverses away
Honestly that og droidika is done so well. Not only does it have the profile of the droidika matched almost perfectly, but it also plays very well, being the only one to properly roll up and having a ton of articulation compared to the later offerings. They really did peak with that first one and god damn was it good.
Wish you could buy them individually
The OG design gets me right in the nostalgia ♥️, love your take on it, Sam! Can't wait to see where your videos go next!
If you add another lever at the bottom it captures the look of the "face" very well.
I am proud of myself of pausing at the disassembled parts frame and seeing exactly where you were going with the overall design =D . A splendid recreation!
This first droid brings back massive nostalgia for me, but it also looks like they really tried to make it accurate to the movies. The new ones feel over engineered and too relient on fancy pieces.
(Plus it also folded up!)
Yours is definitely the best though, feels like a direct upgrade to the first original.
gotta say that moc is genius. definitely gonna build my own.
builds that are small and still accurately portray what they depict are underappreciated compared to massive mocs. Great build.
I feel like destroyers need some kind of specialized centre mold so I can actually roll one up in a ball AND pose it standing up, I think there are enough parts from there to build one out
5:06. This droideka is from lego star wars magazine.
All thess "every lego star wars characters" that turn a blind eye to the technic sets make me weep
Wow. I had Clone Troopers vs Destroyer Droids and always thought the droidekas didn't look quite right. I spent SO much time trying to come up with a better one with what parts I had as a kid. I even used the wolverine claws at one point! Your design is definitely better than anything I ever came up with.
I absolutely love the most recent droideka design from Lego. Had to buy a whole bunch, didn't think they could make it look so accurate with no specialty pieces
What I love about the og is that it replicates the holes in the droidekas back well. If the back was completely brown it would look perfect almost
You version is absolutely perfect. Beautiful work Mr. Bones
Yeah, nicely done. I’m going to put one together in studio and get a couple at least, thank you, glad I saw this.
Excellent design! So simple, yet it still looks sturdy and fairly screen accurate!
Thank you! I was looking for a better droideka build. Nailed it!
I think your model is a good addition to the many other attempts made by lego. I have also designed a custom one and I was surprised to see that you also like the minifigure claws piece for the face. Hope to see more videos like this from you😊😊
Aw, I know the sweeping the droids off the table was a great dramatic moment for ya but I really would’ve loved some side-by-side comparisons.
This man made what LEGO could not, and he didn't use any illegal building techniques!
Nope he stole the design
That's definitely my new favorite Driodeka design! That looks so good!
Welp, you did it... You cracked the code. You solved the problem I've been having for over 20 years... I thought I got pretty close a couple of years ago, but nothing's beating that. Hat's off to you, sir.
I saved this to my watch later playlist, and I am sooooo glad I did. I subbed due to the fantastic droideka. Awesome dude I’m going to check your other stuff out now!!
amazing design! that use of the claw piece really brings it all together.
i hope you consider making your own interpretations of droideka variants like the droideka sentinel the rebel alliance used!
the first destroyer just hits with so much nostalgia nothing can beat it! but out of all the others your custom one is the best by far!
The first one is a classic and the best one that LEGO has made. The best part about it is that it can transform into a very rollable form.
I didn't really know that they were that small in the movies. They are always shown to be quite the threat so I thought they would be at least as tall as a minifig. Your design is great with some special pieces. Great video!
Wow, this is amazing! Yours is definitely the best looking of the droidekas.
As somebody who prefers display pieces play features don't matter so much, but it'd still be awesome to see one that can actually roll!
This is exactly what needed to be discussed. Thank you
I would love to see a modern large scale buildable Droideka, like the R2-D2, BD-1, and Probe Droid. Especially one that can roll up and actually spin.
It would be beautiful to see one at that medium scale.
Great news, Brickset has this listed on their database right now 75381: Buildable Droideka
I have a few of those claw/shield pieces, but I never really found an agreeablw use for them. I'm glad you've shown me something so clever!
That's amazing! The fact that you managed to squeeze in so many details and built it with the correct height is so cool.
Classic Droideka design
HYPED for the UCS/ Buildable Figure Version can't wait to get it, i hope it includes a dome or vinyl piece for the bubble shield
i gotta admit your build blew me away. genuinely i couldnt see a single thing wrong with it and i hope lego adopts a super similar design for their next droideka (and maybe gives you a percent of the profits ;))
That claw for the eyes is perfect
I'll be honest, as you were building it I wasn't sure, and then the reveal... holy heck, you have so much detail from so few pieces!! Hell of a great job
need to see a version of your design with the shield generators in the back and able to ball up and roll. you've got something really good there
The moment I saw that small holder piece I thought we could make a droideka out of it. But that claw piece was a brilliant addition that I might have never come up with.
This was really well done, im definitely gonna try to replicate the custom destroyer!
I didn’t know I needed this until I watched your video. Now I’ve got to build your Droideka.
Great vid, keep up the growth!
your design is so good!!! Thanks for sharing it!
Talking about minifigure scale and seeing that comparison with bricks is my favorite thing. It helps me visualize the scale for custom builds. You should do this for ships and MOCs but idk how feasible that would be. Great video tho.
amazing design and nice editing
You could even add shield generators onto that center circle bar piece by using 1x1 round plates with the bar in the middle!
See, I love the build of the custom one and I think that’s probably the most screen accurate translation of all, but no one can deny how satisfying it is that the 2002 droideka is the only one that can properly fold into a ball to be rolled around in.
Honestly don’t think it gets better than this this design is perfect
Loved this video. Will you consider doing more comparisons? I really enjoy that you create your own version. That was the next part!
An excellent looking Droideka!
Your design is definetly the better one. I managed to put together the last with with my spares. I'm happy with it.
It's perfect, I couldn't do better. Amazing creativity
Yep first was the best
Yoo that one in the end looks amazing! Great job, it really gets the shape and proportions down good!
Wow didn’t know you were a new channel
Very nice editing and quality. Nice build too
Would love more content like this
The Custom build even has some nice options left to add some little triangles for the back leg shield plating.
My favorite battle droid is the one in glasses and with a beard. Truly makes me think of the one I saw in the movies
Holy crap, your design is fantastic and less pieces than the official ones! I would honestly love to see Lego replicate it in official sets.
He stole it
Not gonna lie i was prepared to talk a little shit after seeing all 6 variants, and how you cant expect a perfectly scaled minifigure to be built. And THEN I SAW YOUR BUILD, and was immediately not only corrected but impressed. Absolutely awesome demonstration of what a little bit of creativity can muster. Its always the littlest things that make such a small build perfect. WELL DONE.
nice looking build, i approve
worth mentioning that most of the pieces you used came out around or after 2015, when the last official droideka released. given all the tiny pieces i'm sure lego would be able to put out something on that level!
Great design. If someone working at LEGO saw this video, I hope they can make this the new Droideka design.
you are immediately one of my new favorite lego youtubers ! keep going and pursuing what you love dude!!🙌
nice plinkett reference at the end with the song choice for the outro
I actually like all of the droideka designs by lego and the custom one is good.
god, why do i click on these videos
sick fucking droideka build, man!
your destroyer is amazing. you really should make a really big screen acurate one that rolls and everything almost like a ucs. uber cool tho
Great video man keep up the good work!
Awesome custom !!! I can't wait for next custom droids :D
Just found this channel, idk how late I am to the game but the custom droideka is beautiful
That’s actually awesome
The shredder piece is such a good call
I think one of the most important things that the first droideka did that the others can't do is
get this
roll into a ball like in the movie
That's _beautiful!_ 👏
these are all cool as hell
10/10 droidika you built there! 👍
Hey man, congrats on getting Second Place on LEGO Masters!! My whole family was cheering for you and your mom the whole time. It's great that we can now watch you on UA-cam! Keep up the incredible work.
I just happened to see this video pop up and thought it was an interesting idea for a video and then BOOM: Lego Masters Sam?? I didn't know you had a channel! looking forward to your future content and I wish you the best on your youtube journey!
Also that droideka build is spot-on!
V1 still got the rolling going for it. Makes it the go-to if you would put them in games, for example. But the contrast is pretty nutty.
I love the custom one!
Dreat video, and your droideka is adorable, but one of the best and most defining things about those droids were their ability to roll. I love when LEGO prioritizes that aspect when they do their designs, witch is why the first one still is one of the best. I feel like leveing that aspect out of the video is a bit sad. I whould have liked to se your take on a rollable droideka.
The foil pack one is from a magazine sold in europe i believe
You should do more lego comparison like every version of dwarf spider droid or super battle droid
Well I know what my next bricklink order will be now!
I would love to see this format for the Spider Droids. I love those things and am interested to see which is most accurate.
Also I have the last Droidika and I got it from the Lego Star Wars magazine.
That droideka was so perfect! So glad it remained movie accurate, not just clone wars accurate! Now do one for grievious (clone wars 2003 holding lightsabers with his feet, stomping ki adi mundi)
That og droideka is the goat but damn yours is amazing, lego should do that from now on
The original lego Droideka is easily my favorite for the fairly appropriate proportions and shaping, but most of all the ability to actually fold it up into a ball! I don't know if it was really intentional by the designer, but it's such a key coolness-factor of the Droidekas, and it's a shame none of the later iterations have attempted this.
Your design is really cool, although personally I'd might attempt to try and combine it with some of the elements of the original.
I built a droideka once too. It's a fair bit larger than "to scale" though, using the smallest Bionicle parts I have.
something else you could potentially achieve with your moc are the two side panels that aren't present in any of the official builds, thanks to the weapon rack's extra pinholes
Original design was brilliant as you could actually fold in into a “ball” great rebuild
