Step-By-Step Assembly Instructions

Step 1: Head to The Snap Shack and connect your wallet

You must connect with the wallet that holds all your revealed TPL Mech Parts and Mech Afterglows.

Step 2: Navigate to your Inventory

Make sure you have all the revealed Mech Parts you need to assemble your Mech. You should have at least:

1 Engine
1 Head
1 Body
1 Leg
2 Arms
1 Afterglow

Remember that the Model (Enforcer, Ravager, Behemoth, Lupis, Nexus) of your Engine must be the same Model as 2x of your other Mech Parts. You can also check out the Stats for each of your Parts in your Inventory before assembling.

Step 3: Build your Mech

Select the revealed Parts you’d like to assemble your Mech. Click and drag to rotate and see a full, 360-overview of what your Mech will look like.

You’ll be able to preview your Mech’s Stats as you add and remove Parts. If you’re lucky, you might end up with a combo that makes your Mech nearly unstoppable. Get more info on this estimate by checking out the panel on the right side of your screen.

Step 4: Add a splash of color

Time to get creative. Hover over each Mech Part in the preview to bring up the Color Picker tool and select the hue you’d like.

Step 5: Name your Mech

Customize your Mech like never before by choosing its very own unique name from a list of thousands of possible combinations. Our random generator will provide you with unlimited rerolls to help you find the perfect moniker.

How does our naming mechanism work? The formula used for generating your Mech Name will depend on the Style of your Mech’s Head. The words to populate the formula will depend on the Styles of all the Mech Parts you've chosen to assemble your Mech.

Click “Generate New Registration IDs” to refresh your name options. But remember, generating new Registration IDs will clear the names currently available to you, and there’s no guarantee you’ll see those names again.

Step 6: Finalize your Mech

When you’re happy with your chosen Parts, colors, and name, click “Assemble My Mech” and then “Confirm” to proceed to Assembly and get minting. Then simply wait for S.N.A.P. to assemble your Mech.

Step 7: Marvel at your Mech

Ta-da! S.N.A.P. will reveal your shiny, new Genesis Mech. Access your Mech’s full summary of Stats, and toggle views between the 2D and the 3D version.

Step 8: Share your assembled Genesis Mech with the world

Show off your Genesis Mech by sharing on Twitter and tagging @CyberBrokers_. You might even be featured on the CyberBrokers account! We can’t wait to see what Mech you decided to assemble🔥

Behind The Mech Tech

At CyberBrokers, we love tackling complex challenges, and creating Genesis Mechs was no exception. To make it happen, we had to develop novel code that correctly identifies and labels each Mech part, automates the snapping process, ensures proper pivoting, and combines all Parts into a mintable Mech. The framework can accommodate varying 3D skeletal structures, allowing for the 17.5+ billion possible configurations.

We're incredibly proud of the technical and creative breakthrough we've achieved in 3D modeling and animation in the NFT space. Our commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering innovative collectibles and experiences that empower our community to explore, create, and connect in the open metaverse drives us forward. We can't wait to see the incredible creations you'll design with this level of customization and interoperability.

Stay tuned for a more detailed blog that delves deeper into the technical journey we took to bring Genesis Mechs to life.

FAQs

How many pieces are required to assemble a Mech?

7 total Parts are required to assemble a Mech. 1 Engine, 1 Head, 1 Body, 1 Pair of Legs, 2 Arms, and 1 Afterglow. The Engine must be the same Model as at least 2 other Parts, and determines the Model of the assembled Mech. The remaining Parts can be of any Model.

Is there a difference between an Arm and Pirated Arm Firmware part?

No. For the Mech Reveal and Assembly process, there is no difference between either of these Parts. Both are considered Arm Parts.

Where can I find more information on Mechs?

Watch our Mechs 101 video or read the Mechs 101 blog for the basics. Then see our blog for more information on Mech Part Reveal.

What files do I get with my completed Mech?

You will receive fully-rigged, downloadable 3D files of your Mech that will enable you to build for the metaverse. With each Mech, you'll receive a variety of 3D asset types, including GLB, VRM 0.0, and VRM 1.0 in 1k, 2k, and 4k resolution, with even more options becoming available over the coming months. Soon, you'll have access to GLB and VRM files with resolution options ranging from 1k to 8k.

How do I access my Mech files?

To access files immediately upon minting, simply head to your Mech’s page on OpenSea and check its Description. Mechs will very soon be integrated into The Core, where you'll natively be able to explore Mech profiles, browse your Mech inventory, and download its accompanying files. Check back soon!

Once fully assembled and minted, can I change my Mech later on?

Yes. Feel confident building your Mech knowing you can disassemble it for Parts and reassemble it whenever you’d like. Upgrade your Mech with higher Model Parts, swap out your Afterglow for something more your style, or change your custom colors, all with our disassemble feature - coming soon.

Where can I use my Mech?

It’s all up to you! With the 3D files provided, you can create animations out of your Mech, or participate in partner worlds already supported such as MOCA and Mona. We’re also bringing them to Nifty Island real soon. Stay tuned as we've got even more epic partnerships in the works. You can check out all the info about using your Mech in our partner worlds here.

In the future, your Mech will give you access to a CyberBrokers-exclusive narrative-driven experience, where you can complete missions, earn resources through gameplay, and craft one-of-a-kind NFTs inspired by our ever-growing universe.

How do Mech Stats work?

Each of your Mech Parts (excluding your Afterglow) has a Power, Speed, and Endurance Stat ranging from 0 to 5. As you assemble your Mech, the Stats of each of your six Parts combine for a total of 0 to 30 for your fully assembled Mech. Once you've minted your Mech, it will reveal an additional Ability based on the Style of your chosen Parts. This Ability will augment your Mech's Stats in our future narrative-driven experience where you'll complete missions, earn resources, and craft unique NFTs inspired by our universe, all with the help of your Mech.
