Lloyd’s Jet Mech (71845) – Alternate Build Possibilities

NINJAGO mechs are already the perfect blend of speed, strength, and style—but Lloyd’s Jet Mech (71845) takes that formula to the next level. With its sleek jet-mode silhouette and sturdy mech frame, the set’s part palette unlocks surprising versatility for builders who love motion, poses, and aggressive angles. Expect a wealth of brackets for SNOT work, wedge plates to shape aerodynamic shells, and a useful mix of joints for expressive articulation. Whether you’re chasing fighter-jet profiles, transforming silhouettes, or compact mechs and speeders, this set’s pieces deliver the right combination of structure and flair for advanced shaping without sacrificing stability.

In alternate builds, the jet’s green and gold accents become bold highlights across new models—great for striping, cockpit framing, or armor trim. The part selection encourages creative hinge-based techniques to swing wings, tilt intakes, and lock panels into clean, stud-forward surfaces. If you enjoy micro-greebling, small vents and grille tiles help you layer texture into engine bays and chest plates. And for play, the joint inventory supports confident posing: wide stances, flight stands, and dynamic mid-air scenes are easy to set up. Even modders who like to push beyond the base inventory will find the set a friendly platform for upgrades like reinforced knees, bigger shoulders, or weapon packs. Below you’ll find hand-picked alternates and a fan-favorite mod to spark your next build session—each with a direct link to instructions.
