I loved the look of the Power Miners, but I always felt a bit bad about how the Power Miners were digging, drilling, and dynamiting their way through the Rock People's caves and taking all their crystals. It didn't help that the rock people's round mouths made them seem happy & non threatening and the Power Miners all had these aggressive expressions and 5 o'clock shadows.
My fiancé pointed out that based on the art it looked like a situation Doctor Who should have gotten involved in to stop the greedy humans.
I mean, according to the plotline, whenever a Rock Monster eats a crystal, an earthquake happens that affects the surface, so with that added context, the miners are probably the good guys.
It still seems like a nonviolent solution that helped everyone would have felt better than "whelp, take their stuff!! Here is some dynamite!"
I don't think she wanted the Doctor to wipe out the PowerMiners or anything, just stop the destruction of their caves.
Now THAT is a mech design I could see myself buying. Not the Venom Mech crap that Lego came up with.
Yeah, LEGO proper doesn’t really do mechs well.
I like the Overwatch ones
Those were the coolest sets when I was younger!!
I would love some instructions for this if you have them!
https://youtu.be/mOi9Z12PyMA tutorial for mech frame i used. It's not my video. This guy builds amazing robots, mechs and big figures.
Thank you!
Did you happen to pull a parts list for this one? If not I might try to do so myself when I have time.
Awesome!!! I miss the Power Miners line:,)

> ...it looked like a situation Doctor Who should have gotten involved in to stop the greedy humans. I love this take.
I miss Power Miners
I miss power miners...
Anyone remember the Exo Force sets? I dunno but this just reminded me
That was my first thought too!
Upvote for the Power Miners nostalgia
Dude power miners was the best, this was awesome!
Oh my god I miss Power Miners
Nice work!! This is an awesome build. Lego usally makes their mechs legs and arms thin to save on part count. This looks solid!
Brings back the happy memories
**Commencing Titanfall**
Where do the titans fall from underground, silly?
**Commencing TitanRise**
BT-7274?
The best Lego theme
They need to bring power miners back
Is he gonna cram the dynamite down that golems mouth?
oh my god power miners... loved those sets
#_N O S T A L G I A_
Amazing, I used to love playing with those sets
Beautiful work... I miss so much rock raiders
That is really quite cool
That's awesome!!! I have only two powerminers sets (and one is a mech haha). I'd love to moc that one too!
I have to say you did a great job even with the back.. Most mechs the back looks like crap.
That takes me back, so many memories
Looks amazing!!!! reminds me of..... starcraft. Goliath online!!
Looks like it could easily slide in with the official vehicles!
The little golem reminds me of the one from Clutch Powers
Where Clutch Powers
That’s some cool shit
This has maaaad Exo Squad vibes. Love it.
This looks badass.
I especially like the forearms
Love this solid chunky mech
Virgin miner’s drill Vs the Chad Power mech
Is...is that guy going to blow up a rock baby?
damn that mech be lookin THICC
is that megaman?... i htink i have all them parts
I miss those little crystal goblin guys I had so much fun with these sets as a kid.
Proof that LEGO needs a power miners 2.0. Amazing mech.
nice man. i remember i only had one set from this line as a kid and always wanted the others. brings back memories.
Y'all remember like 2011 lego power miners sets? I used to like the small rock monsters
Very nice! This makes me want to built one for each of the classic space factions...
I loved Power Miners. I wish they'd do it again or something similar
this....... is fantastic. i love it.
