  To me, Exo-Force really exemplifies the difference between LEGO&apos;s design philosophy 20 years ago compared to now. And how they&apos;ve shifted their focus more and more to attracting adult buyers instead of just kids. Just looking at all of those mechs, it&apos;s obvious that they aren&apos;t the most sophisticated builds. Nor are they extremely stable or as detailed as some mechs are today. And as an adult, it&apos;s not hard to point those things out. But to children? None of that ever mattered. I remember how much I loved this theme. How much time I spent playing with those mechs and battle machines. What they might have lacked in detail and stability was easily filled in by my own imagination. A mech lost and arm, a foot or a wing while playing? Well damn, must have sustained too much damage in the last battle. Back to base and get that thing repaired again. Children don&apos;t need those extremely sophisticated and often quite expensive builds we get these days. What they need is a great set-up, a theme that sparks their imagination and playsets that are actually affordable.

  With how much LEGO seems to love making random mech sets these days, I&apos;m kind of surprised we haven&apos;t seen some sort of Exoforce revival. Heck, they could just make sets from mecha anime like Gundam or Evangelion if they didn&apos;t want to make up new mech designs but still have the same sort of feel from this theme.

  I actually quite like Meca-One being legless in the Striking Venom. Not only does it fit with the Devastator being part of the guns and the Iron Drones being plugged into the machine, but Meca-One being literally fused into the cockpit makes the whole thing less of a battle machine and more of a gigantic extension of his body. It&apos;s not a mech that anyone can drive, it&apos;s <i>him.</i>

  I feel like the no legs situation is perfectly in canon, because the entire machine is an extension of Mecha1, and that his copies didn&apos;t have to be literal copies. As cool as the gold body is, is missing the legs more or less disappointing than Mecha1 not even having a unique build/mold?

  Man that’s probably the coolest base I’ve ever seen in a LEGO set. Literally everything you could need for this line all in one place. That repair bay is great, I love builds like that when they can interact with past sets

  I loved the original video and you really broaden my horizons as a kid i only had one Exoforce set but i had myself constantly reusing the pieces so nowadays whenever i see some &nbsp;exoforce pieces/minifigs i always pick them up as its such a cool and original theme great vid Caleb

  The Bridge Walker was THE hardest mecha to draw, just the legs alone took me hours to draw in different angles I had to visually cheat just to get the work done. I can&apos;t wait for the next video. =)
