[MOC] My submission for R. R. Slugger’s Mechtropolis community build event - Lemmy.World

The theme was essentially Lego City, but with mechs and a focus on their power source. I decided to take this prompt and put mechs in the most mundane and impractical City environment possible: office work.

The computer, of course, is powered by cute animal pictures.

His levitating bow tie is powered by money, and the design is meant to evoke Baron Harkonnen’s or Emperor Palpatine’s life support systems. I realize I did push the definition of “mech” a bit throughout, but I wanted to go for the absurd.
