Description Gravix, suited up in the mechus combat titan(CT) Mechus is equipped with an arsenal of weapons: Dual multi round zamor sphere launchers, two shoulder mounted missile launchers, and when artillery doesn't get the job done he has a laser edge battle sword. Gravix is an experienced pilot and soldier. His ability to drive a CT suit surpasses any of his fellow toa. His skill projectile weapons contributes to this. Mechus is a a custom CT suit made specifically for Gravix's physiology and abilities. Mechus is no lumbering giant. While he isn't as agile and maneuverable as say Mototaur and Ryakk he can definitely move with speed. Mechus has three energy cores that power the suit. Two built into the calves and one smaller one on the back. The ammo for any CT suit when on the battle field

Several things went into inspiring the look feel, and function of this MOC. I was thinking Power loader from aliens seen here [link] for the interface of the two characters, as well as the front cage design, as well as the matrix's APU seen here [link] for some of the look of the Mech over all, all that with a little japanese style mech thrown in with the look of armor and accents. I had Built gravix gravix and thought he would make a good mech pilot. HEHEHE I was right. Plus I also needed someone that Ryakk could get in a fight with and be an even or close match. Mobility wise he/they have decent range. The legs move quite well. I would prefer some better range on the shoulders and arms, but I have high standards. The arms move okay. Then he has some torso mobility but that honesly was a bust. Mechus's torso will go one way and gravix another and its a struggle to get everything lined up. I'll have to go back and fix that but as it is again its not bad, it works, just not well enough for my standards. This(not including the prototype wich I never count) is the sorta second stage version. He was by far designed the fastest. I think it took me about a week to get the initial MOC together. After that its just been tweeking things. Unlike my other two colossi who've had multiple revamps to everything. Mechus has only had a few. His legs are still from the first design. I was really surprised how well this one came out first time through. There's still some kinks in the whole "pilot, suit interface" but I'm figuring it out. Also I'd like to add that I built this entire thing and not a single piston was used on this MOC. I'm kinda proud about that.

I've actually been meaning to rebuild him with the new system because it would actually work a lot better for this MOC.

CCBS is very sturdy while also very flexible, which is exactly what this MOC needs.

I find this comment funny given that there's the one on Mototaur right above it. Thank you though. I'm glad you like my older bigger stuff.

Actually this one came together really easily for me. Though when it came to upgrading it I realized I had to start over, and since then haven't actually put it back together. Same goes for Mototaur(sorry). Ryakk is my only big one left and I intend to keep him together forever.

Lego would never make this an actual set. If they did make a big set it'd be a lot different and simpler. I wish Lego would do a pro series of Constraction sets, like they do with Creator Expert and UCS, but I doubt that'll ever happen.

How is he able to hold his arms up with all that weight on them?

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to NoisyBoy375 [2014-07-19 18:52:45 +0000 UTC]

Multi-jointing. Also Gravix, the guy inside the Mech's arm count as an additional joint applying friction for the joints to hold. Balljoints can hold so much weight on them with the friction from the socket. So if you have multiple balljoints all working with each other to create a larger single joint that means more can be held up.

Ew....But thanks for the compliment. Your comment has been making me analyze my parts collection. I'm wondering if its time for Mechus to make his triumphant return. Not sure I've got the parts for it though. I'll look into it though.

HEHE thanks man. Well I hope these fainting spells stop, because I've got a lot of MOCs in my gallery. I know not all of them are as epic as Moto or Mechus here, but I've still got Ryakk, and a few other thing I think that might make you woozy, so yeah. You should brace yourself.
