I Revamped Makuta Antroz - BIONICLE

Become a building block of this channel by supporting me on Patreon: / mitchbuilds
Welcome to Mitch-Builds, I’m Mitch and I build custom LEGO creations! Today let's Revamp Makuta Antroz. 2008 was a landmark year for vampires with Twilight hitting the theaters, but to me, the much more important vampires were the Bionicle Makutas. Antroz chief among them was the coolest toy on the shelves. Who doesn’t love an edgy robot vampire? Although the original set isn’t quite robotic enough for my tastes. Today, let’s fix that and redesign Antroz.
If you're looking for instructions, thank you for the support! Unfortunately, my models often do not translate well into being sets for a number of reasons. Part cost, difficulty of assembly and difficulty to display being the main ones. I wouldn’t feel right selling instructions for a model that didn’t match LEGO’s quality in those regards. If I do one day release instructions of a model, know that it's because I feel confident that it will make for a great experience. Hopefully, in the meantime, these videos inspire you to dream up your own designs!

the sudden appearance of the beautifully detailed stand and base was so shocking it is incredible

[@MitchBuilds]

Cheers! I wasn't sure if I should have shown more of that build process or not, it's much different from the usual fair so wasn't sure if folks would like it!

you should definitely show the build process, at least partly​@@MitchBuilds

Me - procrastinating on changing winter tires and trying to forget about it Mitch - anyway here's a tire in the arm, in the wrist and three more in the wings 😅

[@MaatStile]

life is really reaching to you, def need to change those tires friend 😊

[@c4rots620]

changing your snow tires is honestly worth it just to get rid of that noise

[@filleis6374]

Even after watching all of your videos I still struggle with fully grasping how detailed yet sturdy and poseable you are able to make your builds. It would be awesome if you did a video going over tips/ good practices when building larger constraction figures.

[@MitchBuilds]

That could make for a great video somtime, thanks for the idea

[@ChimpWithaHandGrenade]

@@MitchBuildsI would absolutely LOVE that!

[@ogc5747]

@@MitchBuildsYou could make a second channel that shows the full build process

[@Rose-yx6jq]

It really shows how *intricate* Lego could make Bionicle now.

[@purplehaze2358]

Honestly, if you ask me, Vamprah was the coolest of the Makuta during the Phantoka line.

I like Krika and Icarax more, but yeah, Vamprah definitely looks awesome.

You, North of the Border, Studson Studios, and Boylei Hobby Time are all such relaxing creators to watch... WOW man. This stuff is absolutely insane. All top-tier.

[@MitchBuilds]

Wow, I'm honoured to be mentioned in the same breath as those legends, lots of work to go to get to their level of video-making but it's something to strive for! Thanks for watching :)

The first time I saw his videos pop up I genuinely thought the thumbnail had an action figure/normal toy on it, not Lego

Still waiting with patiance for the Hydraxon, Barraki, Piraka, and Makuta revamps. You are a legend, keep doing this, its amazing!

[@dantediaco4701]

This is seriously amazing, you have such a strong creative vision and the technical ability to make it happen! I love the problem-solving and attention to detail, my younger self would have killed for something like this. Great work!

[@MitchBuilds]

Thanks for watching!

[@coreyballenger5600]

I can’t wait for your channel to absolutely blow up because this is some top tier content all-around. The build/design itself, the building, editing, music, voiceover, camera shots.. everything shines. The base and stand were the cherry on top for me! I’d love to see more environmental stuff in your future builds! It adds so much life.

[@MitchBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed!! Wasn't sure how the stand would be received but seems like people were interested in that so maybe I'll do that in a bit more depth next time it comes up! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@S0n0fG0D]

HE'S BAAAAACK! **intro music**

[@wandalucas5849]

17:14 it looks so cool at the end and it's so beautiful you just see it and you think wow good job man you should be a Lego designer 😊😊😊

[@shruiken15]

Antroz was my favorite of the Phantoka line, and I'm blown away by the love and attention to detail you've poured into this build. Absolutely fantastic work.

[@MitchBuilds]

Thank you

[@0bsidianPrime]

16:40 So the technique with the eyes has a bonus of giving the illusion that Antroz is watching you.

[@ludwig7022]

the goat strikes again

[@tobywessling1282]

one of the coolest lego channels to come out in recent years. It's made me bust out my bin of old bionicle, technic, and lego parts to apply some of your incredible build techniques

[@JanoschNr1]

Looks absolutely bloody stunning!

[@marooncactus7111]

Your blending of system and technic is amazing!

[@JossLain7274]

The cyberpunkys details are absolutely gorgeous, this one may become my favourite Keep it up you're very talented ❤

[@MitchBuilds]

Thanks so much!

[@kroket_101]

bro my favourite makuta! im so glad to see you work on him

[@artiequick3583]

I can definitely see him joining that one chrome-obsessed gang in cyberpunk who stick those weird spider eye things into their faces

[@FRENCHIE_REVIEWS]

Missed you and the bionicle mocs

[@ryanhillcycling]

Each build just keeps getting better. Even the details for the eyes with the purple claw and ladybug was crazy! Also, how come no one is mentioning how good the editing is? The way the build process is so thoroughly documented is probably a key reason why Mitch stands out from the other moc channels. Waiting for when you go viral and serious respect!

[@MitchBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the props on the editing :)

[@MCMXCI42]

You have an incredible eye for design, dude! Love the subtle asymmetry with the torso tube and the blades, and the base ended up adding a huge amount of presence! Genuinely amazing!

[@MitchBuilds]

Glad you like it!

[@orion9161]

I thought i have almost every type of lego pieces, now im just standing still and admiring your work, masterpiece bro

[@dethem]

Man, this video filled me with wistful nostalgia, the school days where i would finish my class work early in and go to the computer lab and just look at Bionicles, the MOC's, going over the wiki to learn more about the lore

[@MitchBuilds]

That unlocked a memory for me haha remeber looking at the 2008 set leaks in the computer lab

[@Meichrob7]

I feel like the subjective line for "Illegal building techniques" or "fragile construction" is something like "Can you use it as an action figure without it twisting into a knot or falling apart?". Which makes sense because thats what the original toys were, they were a cool figure to look at but they were essentially a puzzle and an action figure, they were meant to be oved around and jostled about.

[@xtrmjinzo8675]

Quand créativité et ingéniosité ne font qu'un 😍

[@MakyProchy]

This is honestly my most favourite series on youtube Great job as always, looks awesome!!

@@MitchBuilds Im looking forward to it :) Thanks for replying and have an awesome day!

[@johnathanmonsen6567]

Ooh, dang, so many perfect details! I like how subtle the purple under the eyes is, while that orange Bohrok eye in the torso just fits the gap so precisely, it's insane! For something made entirely out of tangled technic abominations, it looks completely cohesive.

[@Cyber_Gamer285]

I sat here for 17 minutes and 31 seconds and watch this man build a masterpiece, and I enjoyed every second of it. awesome design and very creative way to use the tires and everything I really enjoyed watching him build this.

Thank you so much 😀

Absolutely awesome building, one of the greats! My jaw was _hanging_ seeing Gleeok how tf do you do that so seemlessly but still complex 🌹 Ahh no wonder your banner/pfp looks familiar, had to be in one of Ben's inspiration vids I seen years back, very inspiring indeen :D

[@MitchBuilds]

Thanks so much!! More OC's coming forsure! I like to have a bit of variety there

[@NBlanc.]

Insane how amazing all your builds are, this one is unreal!

[@vantablackecho]

I'm already glad someone remembered Bionicle, but that build is immaculate!

[@theorangeelimination823]

I like the idea of a “pose off” at the end where the original model will do some poses and your version will copy to the best of its ability

[@VenomWithEyes]

I like how the half pegs in the pistons on the legs barely poke out, making it look like hes internally glowing. Kind of like transformers rise of the beasts "Scourge"

[@trevgar]

Comparing the original to your version makes me think of those "you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about" memes. Well done, sir!

[@paulallensbusinesscard9006]

When lego ever made those realistic lego movie about bionicles, they should hire you for building these awesome designs.
