Hello and welcome to TJ’s Lego room!

First things first I need to apologize to Shadow Dancer, one of my subscribers whom I promised to shout out in my last video, My bad, they stuck around to the bitter end on the live stream and as a thank you showed a sneak peek of the BB-tanks from my last video. Hence, why it would have been a good idea to shout out Shadow Dancer in the reveal video for the tanks.
Anyway, you’re here for ATRT’s!
I’ve been looking to build a really good ATRT for another Lego Star Wars project for a while, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good starting point. While I was searching for ideas online, I came across Kit Bricksto’s ATRT posted over on Eurobricks, and fell in love with the design!
At the time I was looking for a solid build that looked accurate, was about minifig scale, fully poseable, and could fold up all the way for transport in a Laat “or something…”. The remarkable part about this build for me, was that just with some leftover parts I had, I was able to build 4 of these little guys right off the bat! These are not expensive or hard to find parts like some other ATRT builds I’ve seen, and since I was going to build several, I needed an inexpensive solution.
I did redo the gun on the front to make it a little longer, and I also changed a couple of colors and other details to use parts I had on-hand (flick fire missiles…) but otherwise the entire build is pretty much exactly the same as Kit Bricksto’s.
Normally I’m not a fan of the Mixel joints, but they worked great in this application! They are a lot stronger than I thought they were, and are more respectable than I originally gave them credit.
ZOOM OUT FOR WIDE SHOT
As you can see, I’ve built quite a few of these, and you can see here some of the poses that the walker can make with very little contact with a baseplate. You can even put it on flat surfaces and it can still standup…if you perfectly balance it.
The only criticism I would put on this, is how the driver connects to the walker. They are literally holding on for dear life, as there are no studs under the figure. This is not really a problem for me most of the time, but if we follow the connections to the handlebars and down the front, we find that it’s only connected by a single stud, a stud that just with normal use will fall off very easily. (demonstrate)
Overall, this is my favorite custom ATRT that I’ve built so far, and if a solution can be found to take care of this one issue, I think this walker will be pretty much perfect!
I know that a new one was revealed about 2 weeks ago on Instagram by a user who goes by “the trending brick” (a bit presumptuous, but okay), who posted an ATRT that looks to solve this issue quite well, but I haven’t had the chance to build it yet, so for now, I’ll say that If I wanted an ATRT in my arsenal, I’d definitely go with this…and I did!
