LEGO EXO-FORCE 特殊部隊エクソ.フォース

[tall sorrel]

then evangelion

well they were gainax back then, until they split into khara and trigger

[formal wren]

It didn't perform that well tho

[tall sorrel]

Bakugan did perform well, well enough for the following reboot generations to also be japanese productions

so the formula has been proven to succeed

even china tried later on

with games

[formal wren]

Hmmm.... why bothering with this when we will all have different voice actors depending on our region

[tall sorrel]

thats why i say bother about the japanese voice actors first and foremost

it will be what people see first usually

and also it helps for exo-force to go into srw

[formal wren]

Bakugan, yes, but Tenkai Knights? Not really. It died so fast that in France we just got the DS game and the anime XD

[tall sorrel]

which increases traction

[tall sorrel]

yeah, but what im saying that the formula of japanese produced anime but toys produced elsewhere does work, Bakugan did it first, Tenkai Knights didnt work, but chinese games looked at Bakugan and went with that with their games

like a lot of anime-styled f2p gacha games these days are not japanese, but from china

even Arcaea is a game from UK that only has japanese voice acting from what i remember

also i think i found another use for the ninjago ratchet joint that i hate using in exo-force so much

[formal wren]

?

[tall sorrel]

for torso pivots in transformations, combine them with the technic pinhole one

[formal wren]

Soo.... an equivalent of the waist articulation ?

[tall sorrel]

Not rlly

Ill build smth using that as an idea and ull see

[tall sorrel]

sum sketch

[tall sorrel]

HOLY SHIT

$4 is insane

[gloomy willow]

Lucky you

Im stuck waiting another month to get them 😔

[sleek locust]

It would be hard for me to work in because I am trying to have all of my exo force pilots heavily use the orange theme on the pilots. Kieken would probably be white and gold, despite I feel like I need somthing more powerful than gold..

[sleek locust]

This is also my late first time to this thread, but Exo force is definitely my other favorite theme. My favorites don't have a placing and are multiple most favorite themes.

I was figuring out how to use these parts to make an Exo force character, but I also thought the Torso would be better on Keikens daughter.

The head maybe should be on a custom character that looks way more implied to be a robot I am thinking.

[sleek locust]

Also this is kinda the exo force side of the Exo Miners alternate universe I've been making, it definitely has the exo force characters.

Also the armored Uplink mech for Ryu is mad neglected, I may still have the missles but this is one of my oldest mech mocs I had probably since 2014. My uplink really deserves a double barrel shotgun!

I could be the first to do this, I made a Devastator to be a Hero and gave it white eyes.

I kinda want to show the chair in my Uplink I was remembering the folding door is crazy articulated.

I think the main change I made to Uplink years ago was only making it have slightly taller ball joint legs so it can have knees..

[formal wren]

Hmmmm.....

[gloomy willow]

Finally!

I can complete the collection!

[formal wren]

? Are you following the anime?

Seems like these are slightly oversized medium mech, but at 130€ for 1700 parts, it could be interesting....

Still they do look good, and i think it would take only a few mods to put them in exo force

[sleek locust]

I'm not fond of the head being exposed in the pilot seat, and would cover it up with at least a window.

[formal wren]

Same

[sleek locust]

It could be because more rocks fall on my mechs in mines.

I haven't made one dedicated to sea traversing yet though.

[gloomy willow]

I like to do that with my titan mechs anyway so it will be fixed

[formal wren]

I mean, the simple fact of having a mech suit with an exposed pilot doesnt make sense if it s to fight

Like, in an industrial context, why not, but in a war context? Meh

All it would take to incapacitate your mech is a good sniper

Kinda makes me think of the KV128 Stormsurge from 40k

[tall sorrel]

if they gonna be part of exo-force u have to rebuild from ground up

i think this is the next set ill buy just purely for parts

[formal wren]

Hmmm.... i don t think you would need to rebuild everything to make them fit

[tall sorrel]

if its me i would definitely rebuild from the ground up using the parts

especially the legs

i would also scale down the size and maybe use the extra parts for like equipment

still not a fan of how much unnecesary bulk there is

[sleek locust]

You are talking about extra things like the stand for flying poses huh?

I wanted to bring up I never seen an Exo force Moc of Meca One acutally having a golden vehicle. My idea was black fire would be on the weapons and decorate the armor. This should look somthing like bionicle mocs that are black and gold that look dramatic.

Like seriously Meca one never got a mostly golden mech or vehicle, and I can't see a picture of Meca one upgraded on google either.

I've seen improved articulation on the minifigure but his custom vehicles are still lime green and black.

[formal wren]

For the dimple reason that meca one is NOT a machine pilot but a strategic commander. When there is imposing machine to pilot, he sends a "clone" of himself to pilot it, but it is closer to having a general sent on the battlefield.
From what i remember, the machines his clones are seen piloting is the bridge walker, the striking venom and the mobile devastator ( the one with 4 giant lime wheels )

The mecha he pilots in the set of the sentai fortress, i m not sure he ever piloted it story wise, i m prety sure it was piloted by a red devastator

[sleek locust]

I'm not making a normal Meca One if it is going to be heavily altered with supernaterual changes. Even if it is still a decoy, The Meca One I'd be building would be in the contect of having its devastators and Iron drones missing with a different story than what happens in the plain Exo Force story.

I still think it is not a bad idea to have a Meca One getting a job done themselves.

[formal wren]

That s why he send his own clones periodically

[tepid falcon]

[formal wren]

Eewww, no knees.... i know it s supposed to fit the robot theme roller coaster park but still XD

[sleek locust]

Naw, I'm still gonna build a meca one with shadow powers that is fun to me.

[formal wren]

Btw, look at what pinterest sent to me!

( too bad they sent me the picture and not the parts XD )

[tall sorrel]

So many ball joints

[sleek locust]

Yeah my builds usually get too heavy for ball joints and I need Ratchet joints, or pan joints.

I'ma build that rollcage seat for a bike though. (The grey parts holding the pilot)

[tall sorrel]

I honestly dont rlly like ball joints but they can be useful at times

[formal wren]

For ankle articulation they are awesome

[tall sorrel]

do yall think thunder fury is like so hard to aim onto by the humans?

[formal wren]

It s not hard to aim it s hard to touch an unarmored part or to have a weapon strong enough to pierce its shielding ( the mech it came from is supposed to resist in case of a cave in )

[round oracle]

Bro that sucks. Glad they're readily available here

[tall sorrel]

dosent like thunder fury like mess with the fcs due to its angular shape?

because thunder fury literally looks like its built for stealth as well

stealth hunter is even more smoother compared to thunder fury

which stealth hunter probably uses ECM jammers

[formal wren]

Oh heck no it s not stealthy

[tall sorrel]

it is in terms of shape

[formal wren]

It s just the angles style of the time

[tall sorrel]

its angular that it makes aiming hard unless its manual aim

or ure meleeing

[formal wren]

Yeah, hmm....for that it would have beed a lot more pieces that didn't existed back then

[tall sorrel]

or hard to detect on radar

[tall sorrel]

i mean the wedge pieces that come on the robot side do look like stealth parts

[formal wren]

It got a melee weapon and a giant bazooka to ping all the radars in the world XD but the main problem is that humans doesnt rely on radar against ground invasion. They just survey by eyes all the bridges

Because literally, they just have long bridges that seperate both territories

( yeah it never made proper sense )

Anyway... best mech will always be the prawn suit... wait... wrong universe XD

( yeah with subnautica 2 that just came out, i will have that universe in my head )

[sleek locust]

I remember seeing neat robot builds to a different sci fi underwater horror game, but I forget the name of it, I just know the name references a mythology with a black liquid.

I also remember that horror game alot because Markiplier kept calling a robot bubble butt.

The robot lego mocs did weird things like use white antenna pieces as arms.

I had to look up the game name, and what I am trying to say is Soma 2015 would make for artistic lego mocs too along with subnautica.

[tall sorrel]

Should there be airships on human side? Like aircraft carrier airships

[formal wren]

Nah, the closest we have to an heavy aerial unit are on the robot side the gunship (7704 if i remember well ) and on the human side the aero booster, they are both very far from being to a carrier size

[formal wren]

I guess the last wave got another heavy flying unit for the robot side, but that s pretty much all

[tall sorrel]

Im thinking more of stuff this size

Meant to have built in catapults for battle machines

Or smth like this or the Banshee from Yukikaze

[balmy bronze]

Or the heli from Avatar

[formal wren]

Yes i know. But as i told you, it wouldn't be in phase with the exo force universe

As i said the biggest flying units are on the robot side, and even thise aren't that big.

So getting a flying air carrier would feel out of place, even with the tech of the golden city

( golden city which is supposed to be a relic of the peak of technology reached by human had nothing that big that could fly )

[tall sorrel]

Hear me out

Golden City is such vehicle

Hidden underneath the peak of the mountain

[formal wren]

Nah, the Sky Guardian is the biggest thing made to fly in the golden city era.
Technically speaking the sonic phantom is made out of the biggest human made vehicle, but it isn't that big. It could prob support a single battle machine.

[tall sorrel]

Tbh it would fit since its a staple of the real robot genre

Like giant fuckoff moving bases

[formal wren]

Of the genre, yes. But not of ExoForce specifically

[tall sorrel]

Yeah i still dont get how it would be out of place in exo-force

[formal wren]

It would be as if you were pulling a Gundam inside a WW1

[tall sorrel]

I think most people would just welcome it

[formal wren]

Because it s far too advanced

[tall sorrel]

Implying Battle Machines arent too advanced

When we actually have them in real life

Some even took flight in ww2 before

[formal wren]

They are advanced, but not anywhere near the level needed to fly a giant one

[tall sorrel]

Even tho they have issues

[tall sorrel]

Search up the endsieg and Lockheed 2101

[formal wren]

Exoforce is basically placed at the stone age of mechas

[tall sorrel]

My bad, Lockheed CL1201

[formal wren]

1. it s the 1201
2. you do realise that it was a concept, right? It was never built because it was just an unrealistic idea, even by todays standards

[tall sorrel]

Northrop yb-49 also flew before

[formal wren]

The state of the tech in Exo force is as such :
Computers : very advanced ( Sentient AI)
Power source : very advanced ( capable of powering a battle machine for about 15 minutes safely )
Fly technology : medium progress. While jet engines were discovered, the propellers are still the most used

[formal wren]

Flying wings are like the worst design to fly anything else externally, the slightest change in aerodynamic can make it crash :/

[formal wren]

While i can accept that not everything makes sense inside a story, once the main settings are placed, i like that they are kept around.

In this way, i don t like that the golden city is supposedly more advanced than what the humans were using during the first arc. The only way that it made sense for me was that the humans lost the processing factory to builds these advanced machines, but somehow in the chaos of the Separation lost the intel that they had these battle machines stored there

[tall sorrel]

Tbh golden city always seem more like an ancient advanced human settlement that has been abandoned long before the human vs robots conflict

[tall sorrel]

Like remember theres some creature lurking in some of the golden city ruins?

Always felt like that was the cause of golden city being abandoned

[formal wren]

Yeah, but human passing up on the opportunity to get the tech from there? No way, they would have sent army to get it

[tall sorrel]

They would

But thing is many generations have passed and its forgotten through time

But fragments of it is still found throughout the mountain

[sleek locust]

Ah, I see now why you are against the idea of designing a cursed Meca One of drakness. Yeah instead of just explaining the dilamemma of if it would be cannon or not, I'd like to see jxlbloodrouge build a moving base anyway.

[formal wren]

Why spelling his name like that? XD

[tall sorrel]

I would need like a hugeass space tho if im building it minifigure scale

[sleek locust]

I made large mechs that are bases twice, but I made them both with brick pieces I had plenty of, rather than making them with more technic or parts that are maybe better looking than brick walls.

So it dose depend on the parts you have and the kind of large base you wanted to have.

[sleek locust]

https://youtu.be/5v_rtIwfkjw?si=8J685LhoeYvvHI8x

I think I would rather make a mech with these joints as a monile base but I don't own enough of these parts to attempt building with these techniques myself.

[tall sorrel]

Look at spirit of motherwill

And arsenal bird
