My favorite was the stormtrooper

[@firebirdbricks]

Same here!

[@GARDRAWS]

It looks like a flippin samurai!

[@Raise-riggy418]

Same

[@FOOTball519_]

It’s the best one but there All good

[@meghanandrockmackay5804]

My least favourite one is the stormtrooper

[@SW_Bricks]

Wow this video was epic! The vader mech especially looks so much better! Sick idea mate!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!! Glad you liked it!

[@user-yt7pp6qw9o]

my faovate was the Dark Vader mek

[@Zeggladore]

Stoked as I am that figures like Vader and Boba Fett are in such affordable sets, it's great to see someone finally look at the builds themselves with some real care. Star Wars taking notes from Gundam (which already was inspired a lot by Star Wars) was a perfect artistic direction for these, and despite this being your first time you really knocked it out of the park!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks very much! Glad you like the builds!

[@stevecordero6377]

The Mechs looked amazing all 3 were looking much better.

[@legodudelol9a]

Lego actually made a line based on Japanese mechs in the late 2000's called Exo-Force. I suggest looking into it if you like japanese mechs.

[@chris_wizzudz]

Oh man I miss that theme. Lots of great sets there.

[@Piratefoxyfox]

I love exo force

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

Ah, sweet memories of my bronze robot rocket mech

[@Spooglecraft]

exo force was goated

[@glitchemerald]

Not making a hate comment just saying they are called gundam

[@dyroth]

The wings and gundam aesthetics really make these look a lot cooler, really sleek!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! I think they are a fun addition.

[@gamerkingdom1442]

As a LEGO MECH specialist, I have to say you did great for a first try! I especially love the Factory! And personally, love the StormTrooper! It does have a little bit of a GUNDAM VIBE! Would have given it a bigger Rifle instead of the Sword, but it still work.

[@user-rl8fd5yu1p]

I've made my own custom Lego titan and he's only about the size of my hand plus I made 6 comics about him.

[@The_og_moonwalker]

@@user-rl8fd5yu1p what is a “titan”

[@SludgeMan62]

Stormtrooper mech seems like something the empire would actually deploy into combat.

[@Dantae2612]

Probably as frontline or SUPER heavy soldiers

[@SludgeMan62]

@@Dantae2612 yeah

[@on_the_inverse_5193]

Pretty sure this is actually a thing in the Star Wars legends, basically big exosuits for space combat and spaceship repair. Sadly, its less Gundam and more Alien mech suit :(

[@user-rl8fd5yu1p]

Kinda yeah I love the idea

[@judecrimson7567]

im sure there are mechs in legends, i knw there were the legends version of dark troopers, and a clone trooper mech

[@Tomslego]

My favourite is boba fett, mainly because of the big cannon on his arm it looks cool good work

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!!

[@davetechme]

I had a Black Tron station set back in the 90s. It was my only lego set so I rebuilt the hell out of it including dual mechs inspired by the cartoon, Exosquad. I was so proud of those builds, I left them as is for display. A few decades later, I found them in storage and showed them to my 4 year old, who loves legos. It was promptly destroyed in like 5 minutes. 😄

[@Jastik]

As a Gundam builder, I just bought the Boba Fett Lego set and I went straight away to search on KZbin if someone made an update to look like a real mech build. I think you made a really great job with all 3! I love the factory as well. Thanks for such a good content, I appreciate it!

[@lux6348]

I don’t understand how this guy doesn’t have at least 1 million subscribers. His editing is fantastic. His studio is fantastic and best of all his mocs are to.

[@goodguyhayden]

The Boba Fett upgrade was definitely the best! I wish they made a yellow version of that black piece you used in the back shoulder then it would be PERFECT or maybe a light gray to match the blade and turret base

[@victoriawojdak-uz5ht]

my favorite was the stormtrooper cause the wings looked absolutely awesome

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@thegamingdogwr]

I like how you used LEGO Star Wars buildable figure blasters for the shoulder cannon . I kinda miss buildable figures no longer being produced but I understand .

[@nautilusnotasquid]

A B1 or B2 buildable would have been EPIC!

[@The_og_moonwalker]

@@nautilusnotasquidfr,

[@TorchicNidoran1994]

The Stormtrooper reminds me of Exo Force with those shoulder pauldrons while the other two give me a loose Titanfall vibe. These are awesome and I'd pick them up to try my own shot at these customs!

[@richardpowell4894]

Stormtrooper mech seems like something the empire would actually deploy into combat.. Cannot express how sick that stormtrooper mech looks, amazing job..

[@stevebarnette]

Just built the Storm Trooper and Fett Mechs with my kids last night. Then watched your video afterwards. You did an amazing job adding onto those builds. Love your style. Looking forward to more of your vids.

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you!! Hope you all had fun building them. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@bradsbrickpost]

Killer new set up with the nice lighting and mic hook up

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man!

[@bryanspencer9342]

Found your channel today, and what a great find. Loved the upgrades. Especially liked Darth Vader and the Mech Factory. Nice work. Subscribed and notifications are on. My kids are gonna love your channel.

[@firebirdbricks]

Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@devinyu2320]

My fav stormtrooper and awesome factory mech plant build in beginning of your vid. Very creative

[@robonut0357]

Love how the storm trooper mech turned out, and I definitely agree the boba mech has the best colors. I may honestly just buy it for the fig and the sand blue🤷‍♂️. The upgraded mechs looked awesome!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man! I would say the Boba mech is worth it. Glad you liked the upgrades!

[@OliverBarge13]

honestly really great channel, videos like this are just short enough to keep my focus and really cool, keep it up man 👏👏

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video! More to come.

[@AnthonyAvon]

I love this style of mech in general. I collect Ninjago so I'm making mechs in this style for every character and villain army. And interesting that you've mentioned Bionicle because that's been on my mind while making these mocs. Imagine if we had a huge selections of small affordable sets like Bionicle. Enough with 500$, overly big, impossible to display, not intended for paly, packed in black boxes sets.

[@firebirdbricks]

That’s awesome! Yeah I really wish we still had Bionicle. I understand why we don’t, but man, they made so many cool molds for them.

[@Jeksignup49]

I like the creative Liberties you took when upgrading the mechs

[@FrostedDemonz]

Dang these all look sick! You should totally make videos on how to build them I would so buy these sets just to build the new creations u made. Keep up the great work!

[@nickjames7387]

Wow I absolutely love this. Was not a big fan of the mechs and now u really made me want to buy these based off that factory moc. Great video man keep it up!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!!

[@TheTransformersFanEver]

these mechs look amazing! the only thing i’d change is replacing those evo “joints” in the limbs. they really limit the posing.

[@edwardkelleher581]

This is a really cool and unique concept! Would definitely love to see more like this in the future!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ashleynorsworthy2651]

You should have episodes of each mech making a bigger mech like vertron

[@estayoda]

My favorite is definitely Bobo fat one. I just love everything about it. It just looks so cool.

[@JustBrickinAround]

Nice video! Really enjoyed all the content. Great job on all the mech upgrades, my favorite is Boba Fett’s. Love that shoulder cannon!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@MarvelandDC379]

Great redesigns! I've always wanted to see humanoid mechs in Star Wars, but not what LEGO had in mind. I imagine Star Wars mechs being closer to something like Warhammer 40k or Halo.

[@SkinnerNoah]

Awesome MOC! I already needed a new Vader, but now I'm looking forward to customizing my own mech too

[@VR_Potterworld]

Great video - you really worked hard on that! Love the factory idea! The Boba Fett looks really cool!

[@brbricks5317]

Wow!I think these turned out great and I found the 332nd swamp speeder early.

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! I wasn’t able to find the 332nd battle pack early. I think someone beat me to it at the store I bought these mechs from haha

[@TheNovaStandard]

Dude I have that exact same black bionical with the shield😂it was my favorite one of that line. Love the mechs bro! Sick!

[@barnabysmedley6817]

the quality of these videos gets better each time, keep up the great work man!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!! Will do.

[@GttiqwT]

nice video, I liked the lore factory u made. seems like something that would be in the show for sure!

[@andrewsmith5562]

Awesome mech factory, thanks for posting it.

[@fishyweeb4820]

Man, id love to see some detailed instruction or piece list for making these, because i want to upgrade mine

[@coralthehippo1247]

Amazing and fun video! The factory build looks amazing.The mech sets would definitely have been more interesting this way over the way they are. Small correction with Vader's Cockpit. The "Tie Fighter" piece is actually not from a Tie Fighter. It is a piece from the Death Star. (Though, I'd associate that piece with the Tie Fighter)

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you like the video! Yeah, I thought that’s what it might be given the pattern. Just wasn’t sure at the time. Thanks for the correction!

[@joshuayoo1306]

All of the revisved mechs look so sick. I would pay money for them! Especially the stormtrooper and Boba Fett mechs.

[@Legomen360]

New camera lookin crispyyy! Great upgrades and I love the mech factory! The stormtrooper mech is my favorite for sure!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man! Had a lot of fun with this one. Stormtrooper is probably my fav as well.

[@tengrisyesugei7995]

I like it. Right now I'm working on a dark trooper at a larger scale and a lot of the same principles apply with mech building. I bought the Darth Vader one and I might modify it to be a dark trooper. I love your addition of cockpits. Ps. You should tack down your baseplate when filming time lapses of base building.

[@firebirdbricks]

Sounds dope! Hope it turns out well for you. Yeah, I’ve considered doing this. I probably should tbh.

[@atnernt5196]

Cannot express how sick that stormtrooper mech looks, amazing job.

[@GCB-mf9ir]

I think that if you added an orange robo pauldron to the upgraded stormtrooper he'd look like a mech commander and I think he'd look great in the factory. Kinda like a final boss

[@firebirdbricks]

That's a dope idea!

[@user-jp6yo1gz8s]

I'm impressed the detail and design is well organized and awesome😎👍

[@Deadbricking]

Wow, this is the first time I've seen your videos. I have a small channel around LEGO and like to see what others are doing. This is really cool and your setup is sweet! I'll be checking out more content. I'd love to know where you got that turn table. I need something like that. Take care!

[@NateTheLegoBuilder81]

I love these new mechs! Old ones are fine, but this was a huge upgrade!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@sidneysimons6475]

Favorite has to be Boba Fett's. Being excessively decked out with weapons feels like what Boba Fett would be seen piloting. On a side note, I can imagine using several Stormtrooper mech sets to make an insane General Grievous mech.

[@skinnyj123]

I like the stormtrooper one as compared to the other superhero/star wars mechs it seems like an actual in universe vehicle maybe as heavy support units or for construction on star destroyers perhaps?

[@themuneco121able]

Really liking the Bobba fett , great design ideas!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you!

[@MKMBrick]

These are so dope man!! I would be excited if LEGO made them like this 😂

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man, much appreciated!

[@Randomalbanuauric]

This is sick I wish I had the extra piece to do something like this

[@justsomerandom934]

Your improved mechs are incredible and I love the stormtrooper one so much

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you!

[@andrewthielmann5342]

The Stormtrooper is also very shogun-y.

[@ScrimmyBingus42]

That scaffolding is VERY gundam

[@terra249594372]

Boba built his outta the remains of his dad's mech and junkyard parts, and it rocks!

[@stephenwallace3203]

Great builds!

[@BrlckByBrlck]

I just really had to say this. you are such a talented Lego builder. Keep on making these amazing videos 👍

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! More videos coming soon :)

[@andrewhatfield3064]

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. This moc is fantastic

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you!!

[@Da_b74]

Nice! They look great!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!

[@M_co0]

bro love the gundam style ive been trying to that for weeks thx for tge inspo

[@ljames4161]

The back piece on the Vader mech was from the 2020 emperor's throne room

[@gpla-ster9032]

If the Empire had these kind of mechs, I wonder what the Rebel Alliance, or for that matter, their predecessors (the Galactic Republic and CIS) and successors (The Resistance and First Order) would have?

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

I think a better mech would be through the use of CCBS parts alongside this. (Mainly the CCBS heads for Vader, the Stormtrooper (can perhaps include Captain Phasma as well), and Boba).

[@roxannahernandez5646]

all of these were great but my favorite was boba felt the canon was amazing and the sword to.

[@dgtheladdy2160]

BRO MY GUY FIRE BIRD IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO UNDERRATED, LETS GET THIS MAN TO ATLEAST 200k

[@firebirdbricks]

Ayyyy thanks

[@fishpop]

I bought all three of these on impulse and they're pretty neat. I do agree that they're lacking in places though.

[@beanman7846]

I like when lego takes its own liberties and makes sets that aren’t cannon kinda like when they used to have alternate builds on the og star wars sets

[@BrentsBricks]

Dang dude! What a banger video! Your video production is getting so good!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man!!

[@Poison_Paradise]

I would love to see you revisit Boba in a video some day, by incorporating elements of the Slave I into him for the cockpit! I'd also like to see his legs beefed out somewhat.

[@firebirdbricks]

I might have to do this someday. Great idea.

[@theobviousdude992]

good, *now let's see you make a stormtrooper in space marine armor*

[@cl1pzrl]

The boba felt mech is by far my favorite by far! I do think it would look cooler with a bigger jet pack though

[@silverbloodborne9495]

I like the stormtrooper one because it reminds me of some old concept art i saw a while back

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

Ha the mech factory was exactly I pictured them in my own imagination when why a sw figs would jump in a mech. They updated gundam version look 🔥

[@firebirdbricks]

The mech factory was a fun concept to explore for sure. Glad you like the upgraded versions!

[@user-wq3tu2ug1i]

Nice upgrades i upgraded the stomtrooper mech with the Razer crest micro fighter

[@John-we6uz]

Love the design but I think the stormtrooper mech should have a blaster😊

[@BurnhamBricks]

Looks insane man!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!!

[@NPCBRICK]

Great new backround looks much better!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!! More upgrades coming soon, so it should look even better next time!

[@Bumbulers_Bricks]

My favourite was the Boba Fett mech, I think it captured the character the best. Great work!👍

[@zacharyelliott1705]

Boba fett and his Samus armor is dope as shit. Arm cannons and shoulder pads for days

[@iwayt273]

The stormtrooper was amazing!

[@JonathanGFoulds]

Firstly I just have to quickly say that YOUR Boba Fett Mech Adaptation is my overall favourite - well really you’ve done a completely different concept apart from the fact that it’s a “Mech” which is really really cool. The way that you have laterally pulled in the personal impact and interest from “Manga?” style - Japanese animation is simply great lateral thinking 👍 I just have to say at this point that Boba Fett has been a character thru the years all the way back to being a kid that has always inspired & deeply interested me by his mysterious backstory, well what used to be mysterious. I really (REALLY) was taken aback by the content of your video. 1. Working from the base plates up was a wonderful idea and you executed it in a way that was quite inspiring. 2. Your IMAGINATION shines through with all the “left of field decisions” that you have made as you have continued to build - to create your initial descriptive vision. 3. I Really like your back story as to why you have built the Imperial Stormtrooper Mech Factory Only as “Vader would force jump and Boba would somehow use his jet pack”. 4. You did not deviate from your initial concept, which is quite often. (I find anyway) a challenge once I, or other people, start building from their imagination. 5. You weren’t afraid of pushing the boundaries when pulling in your other reference points as inspiration… ie: I love the wings on YOUR completed Storm trooper Mech. 6. You didn’t “draw” anything 👍 like a plan or a layout or anything - it was a direct “Stream?” from your imagination to the bricks themselves - which I really like as it doesn’t turn into like a production line as your self discovery happens in front of you, not from a Plan that you’ve previously prepared yourself with. 7. You showed your successes and little failures as you went along and how you learnt from them, which I think is about one of the most important things when working from (our) imagination. 8. I suppose I’m trying to say that you didn’t create your own “building instructions” before you started building - like the majority of other people building outside of the “box” seem to say is what you (we) should do. 9. I really like the finished piece as a whole. It tells the story as well as is a story that opens up in front of me as a viewer and similarly from your description as you as a builder. 10. Thank You for taking the time to do this it is seriously awesome!

[@firebirdbricks]

This is probably one of the most well thought through comments I’ve ever received! Thanks for taking the time, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! Really, I appreciate it :)

[@UwwBlake]

Bro you killed it! All 3 look great. Vader is my fav!

[@elizabethbrown9913]

My favorite was the Boba fat one. I just can’t stop looking at it.

[@acatstudios8853]

You should try and rebuild the mechs into something that fits more into canon, maybe like a small mobile walker or speeder work line

[@scottdavis_34]

Wow! This was a great vid idea! I liked the modified stormtrooper best!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks Scott! Glad you liked it :)

[@yermiyagi1940]

This is awesome!!!

[@Gamerkid-69gg]

The Word ,,Bionicle" gave me Flashbacks

[@axelcutelazar1993]

The idea of the mechs would be good for an episode of Star Wars: Visions, your Stormtrooper upgrade especially would work in another anime-esque episode of it all

[@fictionaltalesbymm3905]

DOPE BUILDS DUDE!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks!

[@PlanetTEK]

you actually got me thinking there could be a decent potential for LEGO Star Wars mechs! great job dude!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man! It was fun to try and make these into something better (at least better in my opinion haha).

[@davidguerrero590]

I liked all the designs the stormtrooper mech was my favorite. But in different seasons or iterations of the Gundam show they have guns for their mechs. (The only information I have about Gundam is from the model kits I buy) and like wise the mechanics in Evangelion have guns as well. (I'm about 75% sure about this, I don't know much about that one either) but I'd love to see your take on a gun that would fit the stormtroopers mech.

[@jasonroshak8822]

Stormtrooper is definitely my favorite! I really gotta get into making Lego mechs 😭, any tips on how I can do that? I'm a huge Lego fan however I don't have a ton of spare parts that aren't the bricks 😂

[@alc_studios]

Very creative and a high quality video!!!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man, glad you liked the video!!

[@tylergehring7879]

That tie fighter windshield you ised on Vader was from a death star set.

[@rebelfleettrooper9881]

These mechs inspired me to build a mech for my Rebel Trooper minifgure, except larger and more based on the mechs seen in one of the Ninjago sets.

[@larryiscreating]

The stormtrooper mech was 🔥🔥🔥👏🏾
