Most of those Mechs are Mybuild kits. Found them on Amazon. Pretty affordable, and really good quality for off-brand. I’ve been working on more original designs since. The green one is an original build.
I read it like OH-ver-cum-PENCE-a-tron. That needs to become the name of whichever one has the biggest sword.

This LEGO brick version of the S.S. Willie features steam pipes that move up and down and paddle wheels that rotate when the boat is pushed along. The boat’s bridge has room for a minifigure and play-inspiring nautical details such as the ship’s wheel, life buoy and buildable bell.
On deck there is a working crane to lift the ‘potato bin’ cargo aboard and this unique toy building set comes with new-for-April-2019 Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse minifigures, each with special silver-colored decoration, plus a parrot figure.

Did you think The Lego Group was into violating copyright law?
Now, now. No kink-shaming.
Neat. Does it have a voice like Soundwave?
I love that they remembered to give Lego Thor his belly!
