As a transformers collector myself, one of the things that has really helped with my loose ball joints has been clear nail polish. I do really like this revision to your mech though. I think the custom head is really cool, though it could use some improvements. And like others have said, the shield could be bigger, but it's not terrible as is.
Thanks for the tip on the ball joints,appreciated 👍
Yeah that helps
I love the look of it, and I love how it's definitely properly big now, but I find one new issue now. Personally, I feel that the shockwave cannon is unnecessary to that arm, and the reason for that, is because it makes the arm look unnecessarily bigger than it should be, like it suddenly grew a "Popeye The Sailor" level of forearm growth, and that is the best possible way I can describe it with my words. However, there are two possible solutions to this. A. Remove the shockwave cannon but leave the chaingun on the forearm the way it is currently (except for the tall triangle pieces that attach the shockwave cannon to the chaingun). Or B. Remove the chaingun from the forearm, put the shockwave cannon in its place, and put the chaingun on the scorpion turret on the back, and find a way to make the scorpion turret move forwards and backwards so that it can be aiming forward above Chief's head, or aim upward in a resting position. Either way, this will also be a great solution to keeping the ball-join friction on the right arm.
@@goatgunner8693 I’ve just released a short showing final modifications to the mech, I loosely implemented some of your recommendations regarding the right arm. Thanks for your input 👍
@@brickman1175 now I may not be a Transformer collector, but I have experience with building things like what's shown in the video. Although usually they're not carrying guns, but rather swords. One thing you could do is straight up add another joint. So basically you can either use this as an excuse to build the mech even bigger, or you could rearrange the area of that shoulder and then as a result to ball joints will be bearing that weight, but this limits possibility. One way of getting around this is adding another section of double joints to the shoulder, although ideally you would be using a more stiff joint. You could try swapping the shoulder joint with the other arm to see that does anything, or really any of the compatible ball joints that you happen to have. Although I'm not familiar with Mega Bloks like I am Lego, but one thing about action figures is that ratchet joints tend to be able to Bear more weight than friction joints. You could try that. Another thing you could do is try to reduce weight, but I don't think you want to make the gun hollow and you definitely don't want to make it smaller. You could try using different parts, like taking advantage of the fact that the bricks are I assume hollow. And using those to replace where you stack tiles, so that the lack of plastic allows for a lighter assembly. Or you could try a different joint entirely, like using multiple hinges. However good luck making a good assembly out of hinges to support that much mass. Also in my experience a properly done brick built joint would be better than that. Now basically what you do is that you take flat pieces, and you stack them so that the bottom flat piece has one stud at the end connecting with the top piece, and then you repeat the process of stacking like that. And each successive flat piece will make the joint able to handle more and more before it effectively fails. You could try those if the nail polish doesn't work, but I do know if someone who uses super glue in the same way. Disassemble one of the joints, apply a dab of Super glue, reassemble it, and then move it around until the Super Glue hardens. Pretty sure you can use wood polish, although I'm pretty sure would polishes referred to as clear coat. And if anybody bothered reading through this, feel free to try any of the techniques. If you try them, let me know if they helped.
It looks even better the longer arms are definitely better
I love the black stripe from the old helmet.
Also, maybe if you attached the ammo drum on the shoulder of the gun arm. That could help with holding a pose.
just me or is the schield a tad small ? seems like a bigger buckler, the never ending moc !
Bucklers actually saw more action than actual sheilds
to be fair its probably used to cover exposed areas
@trueverdeth shield has now been increased, see shorts video for final result. Thanks for the feedback 👍
looks really nice, great work@@brickman1175
Looks amazing, upgrades make it look even better!
Shows lots of humility to laugh about something like that and make a revision! The build is so unique and cool. That shield is awesome 😍
😂 When you’re wrong your wrong, I’m married with two teenage daughters so I’m wrong…all the time 😬
@@brickman1175 😂😂
Ive got to say i absolutely love this mech so far. It's probably my favorite out of the bunch, but i think the second cannon on the arm looks a little out of place where it is. Persoanlly i would swap the hand of the shield arm out for the shock cannon to make like a full "tank" arm so that it's like the arm itself is a massive gun. But even without that the longer arms already suit the mech much better as is. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Yes looks better could they be a tad bit longer yeah but it works
That's an awesome improvement! Much more proportionate. Great job!
Recommendations: lights on the eyes, bigger shield, I don’t have any other recommendations
Lights on the eyes do look good, I originally had the yellow lights as eyes but then opted to use them on the tank pods as seen in the video instead. I ended up going with the copper colour dots with the holes in to give it a more alien look. There were no other light parts in the sets.
my modifications are never done the first build will not always be the perfect build but thats what makes these great you can take them apart and change it.
Maybe you could try taking off the center of the backpack and attaching it to the arm, should make that really look like big cannon and fit with the transformer vibe making it look like the hand transforms into the tanks gun.
This seems like a popular suggestion, not something I considered for this build but certainly will for future builds. Thanks 👍
much better i had just watch the first video of you making the tank master chief and that was really cool
Amazing, and I totally agree about the displey value.
Much better, great job, mate!
the shield seems small but who cares i like it bro
Oh ma gad... Im in the video...
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY MOTHER AND MY HAMSTER BOB, FOR THIS MOMENT OF PURE GLORY.
Anyways, awesome work with the arms ! Also, i got a challenge for you !
Make a Titanfall 2 style mech
Hahaha i didn't notice the amrs was a bit underscale. To my point of view, that was not too obvious to make me bad ^^
But yeah, now it's look like better in scale x)
I love the head design look like bumblebee, but still love mich woth the standard helmet, maybe you can create a new head come from the top of the head and put some extra reinforcement to each side of the visor. I know it's stupid to add protection and protect the helmet, but can make an heavier head and still cool
this looks absolutely STUNNING!! you did a FANTASTIC job here, i cant believe my eyes!! well job done.
as far as my suggestions/ideas go i feel like you could make the shoulders just a big bigger, the arms themselves are PERFECT SCALE!! you did really well with those!
i feel as though the shield could be bigger aswell, all of this is just in my opinion but nontheless AMAZING!! build BrickMan117!
Definitely looks better with the bigger arms although shockwave canon on the right arm looks out of proportion, maybe just 1 bigger gun is needed :)
can't wait for the pelican mech. due to the weight and size of it you could make him a very very bulky almost fat mech like hound from Transformers 4, so he wouldn't have to be as posable, give him a minigun (like hound) and now he doesn't have to be able to hold his arms up :)
I like the custom head better
I like the bumblebee looking helmet and the new giant shock wave cannon
Now it’s a masterpiece
So for the Main gun the shockwave cannon by itself looks pretty beefy. Maybe dump the autocannon be cause it's a thin belt felt thing
Yep, I modified it again after the feedback on this video, you can see the final result at the beginning of the Phantom Mech video. 👍
I would love to see you make a megablox transformer
In my humble opinion, a fiddler crab-style of armament (pun intended) would've done it up better to add to the tanky look that it already has. Reason one being that the scorpion in-game is weak on the rear, giving it a further nod to accuracy. And two, it honestly would add to the already beefed-up front profile that you were originally going for, plus it would give you room to play around with a carried gun instead. Kinda like Jorge and his MJOLNIR setup, with extra steps. BUT, the arm increase is a very good change, and I personally liked the black lines of the original helmet, plus the OG Chief visor. Gives it subtle difference.
Thanks for your thoughts, I just released a final version of the build as a short if you haven’t seen it. I’ll probably talk about it again briefly in the next Mech video. All the best.
Maybe you can add the shockwave canon to his chest?
Its kinda weird to see the shoulders smaller than the forearm, especially in the cannon arm. Overall, good work!
Good feedback for the next one, thanks 👍
So glad there’s so many more transformers and halo fans out there! See y’all in reactive soon and halo infinite!
Hey that’s me! 1:02
He next one you should try should be the Elephant. It would probably turn out a bit like Metroplex
this looks absolutley amazing but it vould use some shoulder pads in my opinion also will you ever release instuctions for this build?
Shoulder pad is really
I used colicky instead of comically on the comment of mine that you used, my bad. New build looks so much better and the new arms combined with the original head looks great.
the arms look good overall now but the new weapon on the right arm looks too awkward or bulky like its not structurally sound maybe make the mount of it longer and also if you want the head to look like a tank maybe add more armor on it or build an EOD helm for it. The first head kinda looked cool at the start it look liked it had nvgs on or maybe it had thermal but without the visor inside it look weird almost bug like because of how far apart the eyes are
It’s ok man we all makes mistakes
Looks epic
I was going to say something when the vid first came out but I am very happy that 117 fixed it 😅
Ma!!! Look! I’m Famous!
Jokes aside, yeah looks amazing! Awesome work!!!
There is an older mega blocks set that has a really long gun. I don’t know which one since I got it off of my cousin, but it’s a bit older
The Kodiak has the longest gun, you’re possibly thinking of that. I do have one and it would make a great candidate for a mech build but I only have one and it’s on display so probably won’t be using it but thanks all the same.
@brickman1175 here. Might make some other stuff that isn’t unlisted once I can get some stop motion software
I’ve been collecting mega for a few years now but I am looking to sell my collection as I can’t take it with me when I move out. Is eBay the best place to sell?
Create a pelican version next
you should do the kodiak next
I would say instead of trying to make the gun bigger just make the arm the gun instead of cause that's also very transformers plus it could reduce stress onthe cannon arm plus I think the shield arm could be bigger cause it's more of a buckler but I think my only real critique would be the arm cannon.
This is a great suggestion on the arm being the gun, I hadn’t considered that at all. I’ll probably leave this one as is now but will definitely keep this in mind for future builds. Noted on the shield for next time too 👍
I’m going to be getting my halo collection from from when I was younger tomorrow does anybody have any cleaning suggestions for figures and sets. I
Will there be a tutorial how to make this thing because it looks so cool
Ideally one day yes but unlikely to be anytime soon due to how time consuming tutorials are to make and edit.
You should add Missile Pods and some Melee weapon on hidden shield by using other UNSC sets or other sets can be more creatively.
It's perfect!!
It's definitely better.
you can still pose this while its flexing :D
I’m no halo super fan but if there is a vehicle that is long you could make a mech of the chief that was ment to be tall and lanky
thanks man i loved the idea but those arm tho..
GOOD fix respect
Needs a shield rework, someone else said it already and put it really well, it looks a bit like a buckler
The shield should be huge, big enough to at least cover up the arm and a bit of the chest maybe? idk how big exactly but bigger for sure, sort of like a hunters shield
However the arms look so much better now, they look like the perfect proportions imo
Oh and the shotgun? Superb, I might make myself one based on the look of that one, it's really good
Oh and if you see this reply under my main comment for whatever reason
I'd love to see you do this mech build but with a falcon
thats alot better
Here’s two comments for you ⬇️
1: 0:35 baby arm moment 💀
2: I like the phase 2 better (less baby arms)
bro built a unsc hunter
hi
Shield small, when you say it's like a hunter Shield bur it looks small
Build a Hunter now
make the gun larger
there we go much better
Here within a day gang
Take of the mega cannon it looks stupid
your combos need instructions.
