The **Samurai Mech**, also known as the **Samurai X Mech**, is a large exo-suit formerly used by Nya as Samurai X to protect Ninjago from enemy threats.

In search for a mech that would allow them to climb the Wailing Alps, Morro and the Ghost Masters raided the Samurai X Cave and stole the Samurai Mech by possessing it, transforming it into the **Mech-enstein**. Eventually, the mech was destroyed by Zane during the ninja's battle with the Ghost Warriors in the Wailing Alps.

As Nya became the Water Ninja, the mech lay unused for a while, before it was utilized by P.I.X.A.L., the new Samurai X but soon destroyed by Vermillion, until P.I.X.A.L. rebuilt the mech to a blue Samurai X Mech.

## History

Nya boarded on the Mech, hoping to stop the Serpentine from getting away with the Fangblade. However, she was caught and had her Mech taken away.

#### All of Nothing

Upon reaching the Constrictai Tomb in the Mountain of a Million Steps, Jay and Nya revealed that they reconfigured the Samurai Mech's left arm and added a seat so Master Wu could join them in the battle. The mech was confiscated and chained up with the Golden Weapons, but used in the ensuing battle after Lloyd freed them.

#### The Rise of the Great Devourer

Nya tried to take the Fangblades back from Pythor with the Samurai Mech. When he escaped, she and Wu pursued him on her Mech.

### Possession

#### The Temple on Haunted Hill

Morro, along with Ghoultar, Bansha, and Soul Archer, journeyed to the Samurai X Cave to obtain one of the ninja's mechs, intending to use it to ascend the Wailing Alps. Once they arrive, they were interrupted by Nya and Ronin. After a brief fight, Ghoultar possesses the Samurai Mech, turning it into the Mech-enstein.

#### Peak-a-Boo

Morro uses the Mech-enstein to climb the Wailing Alps. When the ninja arrive at the Hanging Temple, Ghoultar uses the mech to fight the Ice Mech until Zane sends both mechs flying off the mountain, into the snow below.

### The Hands of Time

#### The Attack

P.I.X.A.L. used the mech to save Lloyd when he fell off his dragon. The samurai then landed the mech onto the temple but flew off before Nya could see who she was. However, the mech was shot down by a Vermillion catapult, destroying the mech and leaving the samurai's status unknown for the time being.

### After The Hands of Time

Along with the Samurai X suit and VXL, P.I.X.A.L. improved the mech by reinventing it after she became the new Samurai X.

### March of the Oni

#### Into the Breach

When the ninja heard signals coming from NGTV, the others went to save the people there, but P.I.X.A.L. stayed behind in case Lloyd and Garmadon needed her help. She used the mech to fly above the cloud of darkness.

#### The Fall

When Lloyd finally requested extraction from the corrupted Ninjago City, P.I.X.A.L flew the mech into the cloud of darkness, despite Lloyd expressing concern as to what it could do to her. However, P.I.X.A.L discovered that the mech's fuel had decreased due to waiting up in the sky for so long. P.I.X.A.L managed to use the mech to reach Lloyd and Garmadon and successfully flew it up the side of Borg Tower and out of the cloud, despite the fuel levels being on 1%. While attempting to close the distance between the *Bounty* and the mech, the mech ran out of fuel and began falling back towards the cloud of darkness. The *Bounty* appeared just in time to catch them as P.I.X.A.L crash-landed the mech onto the deck of the *Bounty*.

## Other appearances

### Winds of Change

A model of the Samurai Mech was part of the ninja exhibit at the Ninjago Museum of History.

### Samurai X-Treme

As Jay and Nya practiced training, they noticed a painting of the mech on the mural. Nya then launched into an detailed explanation of how she would have improved the mech. In her mind, Nya used her suit to defeat a group of Skulkin who attacked a village, and she launched a set of fireworks and played music before flying away.

### Kryptarium Prison Blues

After losing her powers, Nya saw a drawing of the Samurai Mech and remembered the time she was Samurai X. This inspired her to make another Samurai Mech, which is meant to represent a modifeid version of the original.

## Official descriptions

Morro, Bansha, Soul Archer and Ghoultar had originally gone to the cave in search of a mech that could be used to climb the Wailing Alps.

## Trivia

* In "The Art of the Silent Fist" it is shown that there were two identical Samurai Mechs stored in the Samurai X Cave. It is unknown whether this is an error or whether Nya had two identical mechs.
* This is one of the few vehicles to appear in seasons after its debut.
* Nya's second version of the Samurai Mech, the one from 70596 Samurai X Cave Chaos, was called "XMECH-2."
* The flags on the back of the mech translate as "ninja" despite it being the Samurai Mech.
* Despite the fact that the physical version in the sets has a cannon instead of the right hand for the remodled Samurai Mech, there are fingers in the show as well as on the left hand.
* While in the set there are two 44676 pieces with a sticker in the middle of the remodled Samurai Mech, these stickers are missing in the show. This is one of the few examples where set design is more detailed than show design.
