There’s a term in the aftermarket car hobby known as “murdered” where you try and make every part of the vehicle black. Brian Kescenovitz has applied this same principle to this mech, the VIOLISE Stealth Sniper, and it’s a real beauty. While you could just replace the pieces of any mech with black bricks, the design of this build really compliments the colour choice. The sleek lines are expertly done and the tall stature goes perfectly with that.

We should also point out what an outstanding job Brian did with his photography. Working with black is a challenge and we’re sure the builder spent a long time polishing it to remove any fingerprints. Another point worth mentioning is that this is a true mech, as it sneaks a full minifig into the cockpit.

Builder FLAVIO continues his “Wiffy” series (years in the making) with one such robot fitted with twin rotors. His mech is full of brilliant parts usage, color blocking, and unique design choices; I don’t even know where to begin noting my favorite parts. What I can say is FLAVIO’s mech is one of the finest examples of mech building I’ve seen in a while.

Behold the hulking mech robot warrior that is B-43 by Simmon Kim. With its ominous red light and enormous black rifle, this beast looks like it could take on a small army itself. Look closely at the detail and you will notice minifig arms for fingers, some very cool arm connections, and an additional pair of guns. I love the inventive use of stickers to complete this custom build. The B-43 is well armed, well protected and well… awesome!
