LEGO

Part 2

Perimeter Defence Mech / Prototype Dreadnought.

Leaned heavily into the Spyrius theme (6889 was my first ever set), and building at Technic Minifig scale is always fun!

Additional shots (apologies for the quality, improvised set...):

Update - reworked the canopy while trying to maintain the Pyramid Head lurch:

I'm just getting back into Legos and recieved the 10317 Defender kit for the holidays. I would rather it have white wheels (I don't mind painting) and found that there was a past model wheel that came in white. The only difference is the axle style. Instead of the cross pattern it looks more like a half cross. What is this pattern called? Is it compatible with the cross pattern? It looks like it could be.

I’ve been planning to get one of these as a Christmas gift, but Lego’s shop sold out before I could get the funds together. Are there any left or in the wild.

I know it’s a long shot since they’re stopping production on this one, but I have to try.

I honestly feel like it would have been better if they didn’t even make the 2025 figure. Such a downgrade and missing key details to the character.

What are your favorite and least favorite figures? Any other downgrades as bad as this one that you can think of?
