Yesterday and today in Germany the Hero Factory Breakout mini-movie aired on Nickelodeon. BZPower Forum Mentor Gatanui was able to get a bunch of screenshots of the two parts, which we're sharing with you now. He also got some video clips, but we need to shrink them down a bit to see if we're able to fit them on BZPower. If you want to get a glimpse of the show before it makes it elsewhere, read on!

All I got to say how can Stormer Xl fit on a model of the Furno Bike

[ZippyWharrgarbl]

This has made me so pumped. Anyone have any idea where it'll air anywhere else?

[Creep Of The Deep]

Voltix looks sweet, same goes for Black Phantom. I'm really tempted to paint my Evo's helmet to make it more show-accurate.

Thanks for the pictures, Gatanui.

So when Rocka presses his hero core the hero recon team logo comes out could this mean we are going to see merrick fortis in the series?

[Takatu]

I don't think I'll ever be able to get the fact that Deeks and Furno are the same person out of my head...

Anyway, animation looks top notch as always! Animators seem more suited to Hero Factory to Bionicle, and it shows. Can't wait!

If this is Breakout where is Breez,Bulk and Nex?

And shouldn't Rocka be in his 2.0 form?

Reminds me vaguely of the CGI used for the War of the Worlds stage shows.

[Cbbionicledude]

Voltixx is looking sweet...

Based on the fact that Rocka's been recruited to Recon Team, he may have gotten the upgrade first.

[Chols]

:< Why'd they downgrade from 3.0 to 2.0? That's lame

but yeah I'm pretty pumped for this new episode. :3

[an cool dude]

Finally, a picture of that "Voltage booster switch" Voltix has. Nothing really exciting, but it's nice to see how it's made.

But anyway, this episode looks pretty good. It will probably be laden with bad puns and cheesy one-liners, but at least it looks good.

[Smitty]

The lack of Nex and Breez is disapointing.

They were busy on a secret mission

[fishers64]

Any word on when this will air in the U.S? Or Australia?

[Smitty]

Oh I see go Nex.

[Bambi]

Wait, they downgraded from 3.0 to 2.0? That's kind of silly.
Oh well, the episode looks interesting enough. Thanks Gata!

The animal gear they received wasn't ever really a standard-issue upgrade, you know. It was mission specific gear just for the jungle. It'd be pretty silly for them to walk around the factory dressed in animal gear; they likely just removed it when they returned back to the Factory.

[Bambi]

Ah, that makes much more sense.

[Chols]

-Mesonak

I dunno, that sounds fun to me. :U

I guess it does makes more sense they switched to the 2.0 designs, but they weren't as cool. :\

It wouldn't be very practical, and not to mention the reactions Rocka would be getting to that ridiculous headgear.


I can watch the German version on the internet; I know some German, and the plot is never too complex. Based on what I've seen of the first episode (in German of course) I'm confident that this will be better than all the other episodes.
Also Stringer uses a pretty good judo (I think) throw on Splitface (I think it was Splitface). Always good.

Looks nice. One thing though - is there any way of making it so that these images can be opened successfully in new tabs? 'Cause the way images in news articles are, and always have been, you click and they open in a new window, which is good and all, but when you have a mass of images like these it's helpful to be able to just open them all at once in new tabs, which doesn't work with the current set-up. Just sayin'.

The Breakout mini-movie is coming out on April 1st on the HF website for the US.

Something tells me it will be aired some time before that.

[Gresh's Thornax...Ouchy!!!]

I think it makes perfect sense to change back to 2.0, the numbers were (already) getting out of hand. 3.0 was a temporary upgrade given to only six Heroes, which barely improved upon the 2.0 design anyway. Unless a real 3.0 comes out, I'm glad the numbers are gone.
Also, Rocka in the Recon team, eh? Sounds interesting, and would completely explain him getting all those beta upgrades before the Alpha team.
Love this episode, can't wait for it to be aired in English!

[Lenny7092]

Those movie images are awesome! I am so excited for this Hero Factory movie!
I have a question: where's Bulk?

The same place as Nex and Breez; reserved for the Summer show.

The screen shots look good, but I am pretty sure that will be made up with cheesy one-liners and horrid fight scenes. I hope this show will have a more serious atmosphere than the others.

Also, the one screenshot that has Speeda Demon and Stormer makes it look like Speeda was pulled over for drunk driving.

I found this episode to be better than any of the others. The fight scenes were pretty decent and more action-packed than the ones in, say, Savage Planet. The atmosphere is more serious as well.

Speeda Demon doesn´t only look like that, he also sounded like that. His laughter has to be the most insane one HERO Factory has ever had (though Corroder´s laughter was pretty sick, too).

Corroder was just weird...Speeda Demon has an even crazier laugh, and those little arms with the blades get on my nerves.

Sounds pretty promising, but being better than previous HF episodes isn't that much of an achievement, so I probably shouldn't get my hopes up.
Also, I just know it will annoy the [CENSORED] out of me when they inevitably refer to Speed Demon as "Speeda Demon" becase his name isn't Speeda Demon his name is Speed Demon not Speeda Demon does not computeAAARRRGGGHBVHDKCBJHS

His name is Speeda Demon. Say what you like about the common habit of using corrupted words in Hero Factory (for instance, X-Plode, a set from early in the line), but they're here to stay.

I personally like "Speeda Demon". While you could argue that "Toxic Reaper" sounds just as menacing, if not more so, than "Toxic Reapa", "Speed Demon" on its own sounds generic and bland. Based on what his personality is allegedly like, I think "Speeda" suits him just fine.

How come there are six Heroes and six Breakout villains instead of nine Heroes and nine Breakout villains in the Breakout movie screens?

[Aanchir: Rachira of Time]

How come there are six Heroes and six Breakout villains instead of nine Heroes and nine Breakout villains in the Breakout movie screens?

Probably because they left some out so they wouldn't be overloaded with characters. Nine villains and nine heroes in 44 minutes of episode would mean at most five minutes for each hero's "mission", assuming zero minutes would be needed for exposition. That's not much time at all, and certainly not enough to keep an overarching plot moving along.

Plus, nine heroes would be a lot of characters for audiences to keep track of. Keeping the cast small makes a great deal of sense. Of course, it makes me wonder what they might have planned for the second half of the year, if anything, since they'd probably want more than a cast of more than three heroes and three villains, especially if the episode has the significance of following up on Breakout's cliffhanger ending.

[heartlight]

Personally, the only thing I'm interested in is that Evo's back. He's hands down my #1 favorite hero, and I can't wait to see him again.

[Tiakor]

The characters look a lot better than the originally did in the show when it first started out...
I'm amazed how far this series has come in such a short amount of time!

Can't wait to find the time to watch some of the episode!
