Theory about Ekkos timemachine and the Brute.

So yeah ever since Ekkos video was released,people wondered where Ekko got the time machine from and who is the zaunite brute,so I've thought about this a bit.

So most people think that Ekkos time machine was originally created by and I think that is pretty plausible. However the question is where he got it from.Did he get/steal it directly from Zilean?Or did he find it at Zileans tower(since vel'kozs lore mentions that there are still some of Zileans machines lying around) However on the official site Zilean is listed as a piltovian champ so unless zilean made a trip to zaun(for whatever reason),that would mean that ekko either went to piltover or to urtistan,which sounds a bit weird to me,because lets be honest here Ekko doesn't seem really rich,so that would create the question how he could afford such travels and why he'd do that in the first place? Which leads to me believing that he might not have got it from zilean/zileans tower,but from someone else who got it from zilean(or zileans tower)

This leads me to my second point,the zaunite brute. Many people already mentioned that he looks a lot like a bipedal and more healthy urgot(but he is confirmed to be a different guy) and while it is possible that he was just designed to be a regular brute,I'd say that the similarities are so big,that they could be intentional. I mean lets think about who built Urgot: Stanwick piddly.A guy who is known to steal inventions from other scientists(he claimed he created blitzcrank and was the one who rebuilt urgot with inventions that he stole from viktor).

So yeah what if Stanwick Piddly stole the time machine from Zilean,but then Ekko stole it again from him?This would explain how Ekko got his hands on this invention(without leaving Zaun) and why the Zaunite brute looks so similar to Urgot.
