All Ofanim units drawn during #Mechatober2025 have been updated—21/30.
The final nine units will be updated gradually...
#mechatober2025 no 28, Crystal.
My original idea for this one was sub-par so, in a way, I'm glad I left it until waaay late to do it properly; I think this one has some neat elements to it that I'd like to improve on in the future.
Render of my LEGO builds for Mechatober 2025. Thirty-one days of mecha in a wide range of colors and styles, mostly small and simple but with a few more involved builds including some variants and scenes.
Here's a wrap-up of my #LEGO builds for #Mechatober. I had to catch up, but I'm glad I participated. Even though I kept things relatively simple, I still pushed myself creatively. Thanks to @mechamaria64.bsky.social for the prompts, and to everyone who participated and inspired me. #Mechatober2025
A HUGE congratulations and thank you to the entire community of and to the man himself @retrogrademinis.bsky.social for another amazing #Mechatober2025
This is also not counting the others who participated in their own ways too, a huge thank you to you too!
Credits in the reply, see you in 2026 ;)
I realized I tagged it incorrectly
Misreading prompts, entering the wrong dates, typing incorrect tags... I've been making these kinds of mistakes repeatedly this past month.😭

#mechatober2025 comes to a close with the final prompt "ancient". I'm borrowing from the design language of both TotK and the Stone Golems in RoR2 to create this thing.
what a fun month and set of prompts! i'll definitely think about doing this again next year.

Mechatober Day 31 - Ancient - House Nythara Relic Chassis
`A machine from the days before the Baronies we know today, armed with a weapon powered by an artifact of even older times. This prized relic only marches out for one thing, war.`

Render of a LEGO mecha in dark tan. It lies broken against a grassy hillside, its shattered shield lying beside it and its sword embedded in the ground just beyond its severed arm. Moss and flowers have begun to reclaim it as part of the landscape.

Front and back renders of a LEGO mecha in white and bright light orange. The same design as the wrecked build, but pristine. It has a knightly appearance, with a sword and shield at the ready and a red feather in its helmet.
31 Ancient. I wanted something special for this final prompt. I started this design in dark tan to show its age, then made a pristine version. Finally I put it on a base, posed it lying down, and built up a landscape around it. A very fun way to wrap things up. #LEGO #Mechatober2025 #Mechatober
Two semicircular quadruped drones climb up the rocks, with one standing on another's head to gaze into the distance
Finally, let me complete this entire #Mechatober2025 in this silly way!

#mechatober2025 day 30: "mass produced"
what? zaku? certainly not based on one of those. these are way cooler
#mechatober
#Mechatober2025 no 24, Freeze.
Made a slightly snowman-looking mech with icicle spikes, quilted jacket, and tacticool-snood.
Render of a whole bunch of LEGO mecha in olive green, standing in neat rows. The mecha share a single design: bipedal with a torso shaped much like a tank turret, a short main gun on the front and a pilot or tank commander manning a machine gun above that.

30 Mass Produced. I thought about using olive green for Swarm yesterday, but quickly realized it'd be better suited to today's prompt. This is a take on the rather common walking tank idea. A simple design intended to be churned out and flood the battlefield. #LEGO #Mechatober2025 #Mechatober
Mechatober Day 30 - Mass Produced - Aunic Ascendancy Legionairre
`While these chassis are not as durable or as effective as other Aun frames, they more than make up for it with resourceful pilots and the numbers they can be produced in.`

#mechatober2025 day 29: swarm
it's The Pain from MGS3 but mecha. goofy idea but fun
#mechatober
Mechatober Day 29 - Swarm - IPS-N Beastmaster
`Lemme at em boss!`
#Mechatober #Mechatober2025 #LancerRPG #Pixelart
Render of twelve LEGO mecha in coral, all sharing a squat, four-legged chassis but with different equipment. Front row: light walker, recon, troop carrier, battle tank, command. Middle row: artillery, rocket artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft missiles. Back row: engineering, recovery, heavy utility.
29 Swarm. Hadn't used coral yet; it's a lovely color, though part availability is a bit limited. But I figured I'd keep this design small and simple, then make lots of variants. A very relaxing process, and an average cost of $1.35 per model makes a swarm feasible. #LEGO #Mechatober2025 #Mechatober

#mechatober2025 day 28: crystal
this one's maybe a lil more creature than mecha.
#mechatober
Front and back renders of a LEGO mecha in magenta. It has six legs and two little grabby arms, with a low posture. Its back section is made of transparent dark pink slopes and a matching crystal, positioned sort of like the shell of a hermit crab.
28 Crystal. Not much rationale behind this one, just wanted to use magenta and transparent dark pink. Maybe the crystals are an energy weapon? It's sort of a Tachikoma design—does the pilot sit up front, or are they a rock-based life form comfortably in the back? #LEGO #Mechatober2025 #Mechatober
Mechatober Day 28 - Crystal - Titanium Command Mech
`Move it boys, we need to find the source of those seismic disruptions before all that's left on the surface is rubble!`
#pixelart #Mechatober #Mechatober2025 #LancerRPG
happy day 300 of daily drawing! we enter the final stretch! EOY is in sight!
#mechatober2025 day 27 has a prompt of "otherworldly". I wish I had more time to work on this, but I worked late today. I sketched a silly take on the multi-armed Hindu deities as a mech.
#mechatober
#Mechatober entry 3, Recon: Finished!
One of many in a fleet of scout bots, the recon swarm transmits and creates a 3d map of an area from the ground up.
#Mechatober2025 #Blender3D #B3D #LowPoly #LowRez #Monowheel
Front and back renders of a LEGO mecha in medium lavender. It has long, multi-jointed legs, a rounded shell-like body, and large curved panels on either side of its torso giving it a somewhat floral or jellyfish appearance. Between the two panels are an odd assortment of what are presumably weapons.
27 Otherworldly. Started out trying to make stubby legs and a tall body, but wound up with the opposite. As is often the case, color also dictated the design; I wanted as much consistency as possible. It really came together when I found those roof corners. #LEGO #Mechatober2025 #Mechatober
Mechatober Day 27 - Otherworldly - An Ode to what was, what could have been and what will come. The first flame, the all father inferno, the beast at the end of a million minds and fears. The final burner, TARTARUS

day 299!
#mechatober2025 day 26 is race. My mind immediately wandered to the shot of unit 01 sprinting through the city. and then i made it kitty. had a lot of fun spending a longer time on this one and drawing a background and foreground!
#mechatober
Front and back renders of a LEGO mecha in lime green with black elements. It has wheels on its wrists and ankles and is posed like it is roller skating.
Front and back renders of a LEGO mecha in lime green with black elements. It has transformed into vehicle mode, with its torso folded up and all four limbs down so the wheels can make ground contact.
26 Race. I hadn't used lime green yet—had to remedy that. Originally I just planned on a Heavy Gear-style secondary movement system, but wound up making this a transformer instead! No parts to add or remove, just rotated into place. Could maybe be refined a bit yet. #LEGO #Mechatober2025 #Mechatober
Mechatober Day 26 - Race - SSC Extreme Octane Gear
`Ladies and Gentlement! Welcome, I hope you're ready for a show, I call it the EX World Grand Prix! A tournament to see who's the best of the best!`

#mechatober2025 day 25 is liquid. here is a waterbending mecha
#mechatober
#mechatober2025 21, Graceful.
Err... Freddie Mechury?
Front and back renders of a LEGO mecha in yellow and black, with a transparent dark blue round tile for a head. It has flippers on its feet and is attached to a clear antenna on a tan base, as though floating just above the ocean floor. It has a harpoon launcher on one arm and carries a knife in the other hand.
25 Liquid. Another homage to a beloved mid-'90s theme. I didn't get quite as heavily into Aquazone, but the Crystal Explorer Sub was one of my favorite sets. The expensive chrome silver parts here are included for accuracy, but cheaper alternatives are available. #LEGO #Mechatober2025 #Mechatober
Mechatober Day 25 - Liquid - House Nythara Arcane Executioner
`The Baronies have access to some of the most sophisticated ferrofluid technology with their partnership with SSC. The Arcane Executioner is the prime example of this partnership.`
