Mechtober Madness: Four Weeks of Epic Mecha Builds
In this episode, we delve into the exciting world of Mechtober,
the October monthly build challenge that's captured the hearts of LEGO enthusiasts. But first, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to explore the origins of October's brick-building traditions, from Ma.Ktoberfest to the birth of Mechtober.
Discover the fascinating backstory of Ma.Ktoberfest, a build
challenge inspired by the sci-fi universe of Maschinen Krieger. Uncover the twists and turns of this unique intellectual property's journey and its impact on the LEGO community.
Learn how Mechtober emerged during a global pandemic, thanks to the creative minds of Simon Liu and Markus Rollbuhler. Dive into the mechanics of Mechtober: a four-week-long challenge that invites builders to create a
cohesive team of mechs, each with its distinct function.
Our host shares personal insights into his journey with LEGO
mechs, including the trials and tribulations of building his first ever mech MOC, the Sleigh-and-Eight. Find out how a convention mishap led to an impromptu "knee replacement surgery" for this unique creation.
Then, join us on our host's quest to participate in Mechtober
while producing a weekly podcast, and the creative struggle to choose what mechs to build. We explore the evolution of ideas, from IP-based mechs to unique concepts like Oktoberfest-themed mechs and medieval fantasy mechsuits.
Tune in to witness the excitement, challenges, and creativity
that Mechtober promises. Will our host successfully complete the Mechtober challenge? It's a month-long journey filled with building, storytelling, and LEGO passion. So, fasten your bricks and join us on this thrilling adventure!
