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.

Bro just have the most random Lego pieces that I don’t even know existed

[@henrypaleveda7760]

where did you get that really weird bionicle part in 12:52?

[@Goj1r3]

Can you build Radhan From Elden Ring?

[@Terraformer-17]

You Should be in that Build battle lego show

[@Discontinued-t6w]

It’s so fascinating that Lego has been making so many pieces that can work in tandem with each other if you have the imagination. Also as a Lego hero factory fan just would love to see you do some builds like that if that’s something you have planned in the future

[@MitchBuilds]

Cheers! It’s always cool when an old part goes perfectly with a new one, they do a good job designing parts

[@ar-3s]

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. Bricks as what most people think of Lego bricks

[@MrMicmac65]

I loved the tree, maybe my favourite part of the build

[@-howtomake999]

Bionicle parts aren’t actual bricks????

[@Average_from_soft_fan]

[@danielmancaniello2408]

He's been posting much more frequently though so that's good

[@Lookingforlore]

@@danielmancaniello2408yea,

[@glitch-3107]

Considering the quality and detail in these builds he's uploading faster than I expected!

[@MitchBuilds]

Cheers :) trying to do every two weeks for the next while but 3 seems to be the sweet spot for my sanity 😅

[@NiiRubra]

Sentient trees creep me out (weirdly enough) but I adore this so much, I love the idea of the non-humanoid pilot, the fact that it is a vegetable, and of course, the execution!

[@rustandfolly]

You've been my comfort youtuber since you first started posting on this platform, and I just wish to offer my greatest gratitude for the respite you've brought me. Through major depressive episodes and my worst lows, I always return to this safe and heartening space you've created. Thank you so much for the tranquillity you bring to this environment

[@tj104_lp]

I was watching the video while building an Adam smasher moc and thru the missile launching system from the mech I was finally able to get an idea on how to build his missile launcher (thanks for that btw)

[@Demonite-jj2zf]

That sounds cool

[@MitchBuilds]

Nice! Have fun building!

[@tj104_lp]

@@MitchBuilds thanks I will as soon as I start again

[@krysmun]

now this is beyond cool! 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.

[@MitchBuilds]

That’s a fun idea! I thought maybe itd use it to give itself a watering too haha

[@krysmun]

@@MitchBuilds hahah yeah and what if it was a gardener itself taking care of other plants & trees? it could also use the gun to water the other plants aswell, even firing it upwards to water everything at once like a sprinkler!

[@WendigoPrince]

Damn this is so cool. Would love to see a Ben10 alien built in your building style one day. Great Job!

[@cpafol]

How can we spruce up this section? Anyone: Maybe some detailed greebling? Mitch: Throw a tire on it 😎

[@MitchBuilds]

I never tire of a tire

[@Ivan-The-Man]

Groot gonna love this one🔥🔥🔥

frog frog frog frog frog frog frog frog frog frog frog frog frog 13

[@iggi143]

I adore the concept of this, a lot of detail and thought went into the overall design, and it shows. Your part usage requires so much obscure but intricate knowlage! I would really have to 'trust the process' to build like you do. Best of luck in the competition, if you don't place high, the judges have questionable taste!

[@kailashblades]

wasn't sure about the concept of the roots wokring their way through the mech but it looks soooo good. The contrast of mechanical and organic, symmetrical and asymmetrical is just *chefs kiss*

[@MitchBuilds]

Cheers!!

[@kroket_101]

i love the creativity that you put in your mocs and designs! a mech piloted by a tree is so unique i love it! i also am curiouse, how do you have such a large inventory of pieces, its really cool!

[@MitchBuilds]

Been collecting for a long time!! But my standard brick supply is comparatively small, I just like buying funky weird parts!

[@jacobcox4565]

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.

[@dastan4natsad]

This video just popped in my recommendations and im glad I've clicked. Duuuude this mech is absolutely amazing 😮 Masterpiece.

[@MitchBuilds]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@Brandon-butterb1]

it’s always a better day when MitchBuilds uploads. you have so many parts and knowledge about all aspects of lego that i can’t help but love your wild ideas

[@samurexatlas7373]

Robot arms in each other's holes is a stresser, but can be easily amended with a pneumatic T to be a stress-free build.

[@Joseph__Leonard]

Yes. Please never use this “technique” again.

[@MitchBuilds]

I think it looks better this way!

[@samurexatlas7373]

@@MitchBuilds Understandable, just warning you in case they snap

[@tristanwelke7827]

I'm reminded of a playable character in Risk of Rain 2 named Rex, a robot/plant hybrid with abilities from both. I kinda wish this side of the Cyborg archetype was explored more often even if it is narrative nonsense for a plant to have that much "neural capacity" to be a pilot.

[@emtbox7867]

The perfect mix of Biology and technology.

[@maximilianwalker5961]

this is literally so cool!!! I love the idea of the water pump arm and the reservoir on the back. Amazing as always!!!

[@MitchBuilds]

Thanks so much!!

[@Panzermeister36]

Great work! I haven't touched Lego in a decade but I get flashbacks to my old projects and all the cool parts that Lego has to offer when I watch your videos. Thank you for putting these videos together.

[@Rickcarleson2152]

Such a cool and unique build! Love your work, keep it up!

[@Christian_H3rnand3z]

That Bionicle disk launcher brought so much nostalgia. I got flashbacks of me reading this one old Bionicle comic. The classic Bionicle pieces just hit different man. They look so mechanical and alien.

[@Chino-sticknodes]

I love your builds mitch, i seriously recommend uploading instructions and the parts needed for some of these builds so we can try using these builds in dioramas and stuff

[@mrmateusz5188]

Damn man, you’ve been pumping these videos out like crazy!

[@GhidorahStan64.]

This is amazing, I love how ya put the disk launcher as a reference.

[@timpeetoom2199]

You always surprise me with parts usage and how it all comes together, love it man!

[@maxhutchison2170]

Super cool as always. Good luck in the competition and congrats on another sponsored video!

[@lukascermak4011]

Truly impressive parts collection, man! What a great and creative mech!

[@MitchBuilds]

Thank you very much!

[@blargofallblargs3939]

I'd like to imagine the story of this tree being near a downed military mech, slowly growing and developing in its inner workings overtime until it had control.

[@Mr.neonyt]

Idea for a video series: making a bionicle moc from other lego sets For example making a bionicle based off of lego city

[@gingerbreadcrumbs3451]

It’s so amazing

You know it’s a good day when you see wonderful Lego Mocs

[@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594]

You are extremely creative Its interesting to see how far you can push the limits of Lego

3:31 You had the perfect opportunity to say, “And now to add some RIVETING details.”

[@7pitici-qi7ds]

The way he dealed with the water-pump arm by adding a piston is super cool!

[@shootingstar0312]

after this, im convinced you could make a PERFECT redemptor dreadnought from 40k its Insane, how creative your builds and part uses is

[@RizkT511]

I didn't expect these age-old Znap parts are still compatible with modern connections. great works as always!

[@nine_lives5597]

Neat! I always look forward to your builds man, these are always top notch

[@MitchBuilds]

Glad you like them!

[@mogwiawolf4354]

Would have been cool if you add more plant growth on the mech from the tree taking it over just a bit

[@jinenjipeke]

this is simply amazing, i love the idea, i love how you used all the pieces for details, i would love to have this set in my room

[@cookiqman]

the tree and roots look great! theyre really organic for lego, and the mech itself is badass. amazing build, as always!

[@colonthreecolonthree]

the DIY piston on the arm is so cool!!!

[@ZackV01D]

Never have I seen a lego channel that can hold my attention wile being this entertaining. Keep up the good work!

Wow, thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the vids :)

[@jackpaxton9391]

Love these videos? I've always wondered if 3d printing would work for more cool parts? Or maybe use them to create plastic moulds?

Lego needs you.

[@cyanfires1027]

Great love yours videos

[@gektoast4968]

[@droconistheantisentient1721]

The tree reminds me something that you would see in subnautica. but I wasn't expecting a tree to be a pilot for a exosuit 👍

[@vodar1114]

It would be really cool to see a video where you go thrue your process for coming up with how to build these builds

[@drlogan4894]

You are unfathomably talented bro

[@a122_gh]

you should definitely make more mechs, this one was very cool

[@joshuana5132]

Random thought for a build: What would a base set in chaos magic look like? What chaotic elements would be involved in ways that defy physics but still make sense for a base?

[@mrmunches110]

great build reminds me of Beyond the Blight swamp diorama

[@casimons92]

These builds are so insane

[@Franky_Sthein]

A transforming EXO Force mech would be sick!

this video singlehandedly may get me back into lego 😭

[@Slick-ri9np]

Man I love this build so much, I'm always a tad envious of you types of builders because you have all these fancy parts and most of us are working with scraps, Yet I'm very proud because I managed to build my own custom leg partially. Can't wait for your new vids and if you have any tips I welcome them. Keep it up man, And sorry about the small rant.

[@negativeusername5989]

Dear MitcheBuild, i dont know if you'll ever read this or not. But i've always fasinated with the usage of bone/skeleton moc. If ever you had the time to, can you please build one? Anyhow, love your vids and builds. Have a good day!

this aint mother nature this is father tech💀

I suggest clear blue studs for the water. Just my preference though.

[@marccloutier3501]

the design is absolutely fantastic ! for real, if you are able to generate an assembly instruction manual pdf and a part list to buy by reproducing it with the lego software, that's something I would buy to make it myself at home !

[@purplehaze2358]

I think this is the first time I've seen someone actually use Znap parts in a constraction MOC.

[@6raiden6frost6]

Its awesome bro and glad you got a sponsor with these lovely builds, build me in the future haha

[@OchdDottMp3]

This reminds me so much of some of gameyy build’s stuff on his channel where he’d design mechs and have them interacting with nature. Maybe you could check out some of his techniques, he doesn’t use legos but I’m sure a few of them are transferable.

[@victorespada_]

awesome, I love this build
