Mine Mech
8957-1 Power Miners 2009 68 parts 5.4% repair risk Easy
The LEGO Power Miners Mine Mech (8957-1) introduces an experimental mining walker, designed for subterranean exploration. This mech navigates treacherous caverns, ideal for emergency rescues where other Power Miners vehicles cannot go. It features movable legs, enabling the model to walk or pose dynamically. A spinning saw blade, functioning as a plasma cutter, pairs with a crushing claw arm, proving effective against rock formations and any Rock Monster minifigure. An opening cockpit provides access for the included Miner minifigure. For creative building, the Mine Mech combines with the 8956 Stone Chopper, forming the Cave Cutter alternate model.
