I Built a LEGO MECH… Piloted by a TREE

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

No wonder Saruman wanted the forest burned down... imagine if the Ents weren't limited by the technology of their time

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

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

I love the tree parts bleeding into the mech and the mech parts bleeding into the tree!

He doesn’t post often but when he does its well worth the wait

Who needs the Lorax? This tree "Speaks" for itself! Fantastic build!

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 <3

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!

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)

Groot gonna love this one🔥🔥🔥

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

A transforming EXO Force mech would be sick!

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