I Built a GIANT Space MECH in LEGO

I built a LEGO Mech based off the new Ice Planet CMF minifigure. I took inspiration from Gundam (Gunpla) for this build and tried to push myself outside of my comfort zone.
This build was displayed at Brickworld Chicago, 2024.

[@Guessitsfred]

a half mutated mech for the blacktron mutant from the same cmf because I think it would be cool

Please build the chima mechs

The brick-built head really elevates this mech. Takes its from sci-fi to anime really fast. Well done!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Sci-fi would be fine as well, but it is a really good headsculpt.

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you! I’m looking forward to improving in this area more in the future.

This was pretty eye catching when I saw this at Brickworld Chicago! I enjoyed seeing the process behind how you made it! Amazing job Firebird!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Brickzeal]

Great video man, I love the idea of buying a set and repurposing it to make a MOC in another theme 👍 keep making these mech videos, they are fantastic 👌

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Will do! I’ve got plenty more planned!

[@BrickMunch]

What a build! I really enjoyed watching this video.

[@whaleblazer]

absolutely loved this one at brickworld… was trying to find out more about it for a while 😅

[@quandian_695]

you should make a fire mech next!

[@firebirdbricks]

That would be fun!

[@jmoney740]

So amazing! Would love to see another Gundam style mech that has a fully enclosed cockpit!

[@firebirdbricks]

That would be cool!

[@PaladinPatrick]

You're a true Jedi and a master builder

[@Entertaininglylame]

From 30 years ago hit hard in the feels! :O I too have been delving into gunpla and found them as a great source of inspiration.

[@Bartlettwillstudio]

If you change the helmet you could uses it as a 501 mech

[@adamosborne3765]

You killed it dude! Great job!

Thanks!

Мне очень понравилась ваша работа. Этот мех выглядит очень красиво, пророботанно и внушительно. Я бы очень хотел увидеть подобную но по серии M-Tron или Blacktron, сделанную вашими руками:)

I love this ice planet-theme!

To the ship on the back you should add guns so it can fly around and help take down enemies!

Penguin about to take the Internet by storm. Just wait!

[@firebirdbricks]

Apparently his name is Gerald now.

[@The_True_Autism]

Ain’t no way your penguin got the same name as my army cadet mascot.

[@I_love_Curry2]

I think that it is a very nice build but I would personally add more space between the legs. Great job none the less!

[@MrSaurusOfficial]

Looks great Caleb! I would love to pick your brain on how you made this.

[@firebirdbricks]

Any time haha

[@AICphoenix]

We really love those creations plz make more❤❤🎉

[@sydryi3086]

This truly was the best mini figure of that series, you can use it for so much. Currently using it to build a Brotherhood of steel army, winterised.

[@firebirdbricks]

It’s really is such a good minifigure!

[@sebchambers7140]

I think the next mech should be based of the Mtron power lifter figure from the same space series, using the 4 armed Kais climber mech as a starting reference. Could pair very well this this mech, considering both the source material and the base models are connected.

[@firebirdbricks]

I have that mech in my lineup to be modified at some point. Sounds like a fun idea!

[@MKMBrick]

Absolutely fire build bro 🤯🔥

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man!!

[@percygrace8153]

everything about this is amazing.. but idk if its just me, the head throws it off. i personally think it could have been a little more streamlined but i still like it. Good build man

[@Janoha17]

I would definitely like to see mechs based on the other CMF Series 26 figures. Give the M-Tron Power Lifter a proper Power Loader, and the Blacktron Mutant a similarly mutated battlesuit. (And give the Retro Space Heroine a retro rocket.)

[@firebirdbricks]

I’m definitely considering it! So many good figures in the series!

[@yokaiwatcher8500]

In regular conversation, I sometimes take a moment to “how did we get here” if I was talking about something else originally.

[@BrightestWitchBricks]

You inspired my ice planet penguin army. Big fan of your work. I think a space baby power ranger like mech with a baby manning each limb and the center would be fun. Or they could be in a command center in the middle 🤔

[@firebirdbricks]

I like that idea a lot!!

Great idea and execution. Loved the choices you made! Bravo!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I think this is both technically and aesthetically the best mech that you have built so far. I might not have seen all of them, but the two other videos that I did had some really good ones, but none of them were as detailed and well balanced as this one. The lines of the armor, the head sculpt, the posability and even the added Penguin spaceship and hanger, such a fun and exciting end result. Thanks for sharing this with us, I hope you will keep on building stuff like this in the future for sure!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thank you! I appreciate the thoughtful comment! I’m excited to build more mechs and continue improving my skills as a mech builder. Glad you liked it!

YOU BUILT GUNDAM IN THE PAST!? I DID NOT KNOW THAT Also, plus, i recommendend master grade kits. Like the Zaku black trinity II or the GM sniper.

I just started building them a few months ago! I bought a few master grade kits and some ver.ka stuff too! Excited to do more!

[@AntBandit]

Such a great build man. What brand of lights did you use for this?

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Because if it’s one thing LEGO doesn’t have enough of, it’s minifigures in MECHS.

Well done, Caleb!

[@Goldie.345]

great video

[@Thargwin]

Really nice build i am a huge fan of ice planet 2002. Dis not know the particular orange color is no longer available. I always like ice planets color coördination with the blue orange and white, i see alot of people who like it over represent 1 color over the other 2. Think your mech would have been even better with more orange in the mix and some old figurines to seperate the captain with the crew. In general i am jealous at the amount of bricks you have too do these builds and how cool you made the enite mech build. I think the coolest detail were the snow slopes the old sets don't do details like that but the old space station would look so much cooler with those details. Much ❤ man.

Will you be making a build for brickworld Grand Rapids this year? I have been wanted to go to it, but not sure which pass to buy or if it’s worth going at all. I want to get some inspiration for my channel as I start to become a more serious collector.

[@firebirdbricks]

I’ll be at Brickworld GR this year. Not sure what I’m bringing yet but I’ll have some stuff there! I’d say it’s at least worth going for one of the public days to see things. It’s definitely not as big as other conventions like Brickworld Chicago or Brickfair VA.
