We've been notified just a little too late that the Breakout episode aired on Nicktoons yesterday in English. Thankfully the entire episode can be watched from <a href='http://nicktoons.nick.com/videos/clip/hero-factory-breakout-sneak-full.html' target='offsite'>the Nicktoon site</a> (US residents only, it appears) as well as from the <a href='http://herofactory.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx' target='offsite'>Hero Factory site</a>! If you missed it yesterday, I suggest checking it out now!

Woah. Lower case "e", "n" and "a"? What is this magic?

But that's besides the point. I'm surprised they put it online. That was nice of them though, saves me having to go trawling through a load of video hosting websites.

[Applejack]

Sweet, I might check it out.

News talkbacks, being posted automatically, are different from normal topics in many ways.

And the story goes live only five minutes after I sent in the report! That was quick. Breakout aired on Sunday, though, not yesterday, but I guess that´s irrelevant.

What´s up with Speeda Demon? That´s just insane. Black Phantom doesn´t feel right either. Does he have a Russian or French accent? The voice actor for Black Phantom is much better and fitting in the German version and I also prefer the voice actors for Speeda Demon and Zib in the German dubbing. Jawblade is very good in English, though.

There was barely anything new for me as it aired in Germany over a month ago, but still, let me say again that I think this was the best episode so far. I look forward to

the return of Von Nebula and his Villain Factory!

Not really interested. I'll probably end up seeing it though.

[Felinuva Toa of Felines]

I messaged Sumiki about this earlier.

I guess I should've sent an email to news@bzpower what Kakaru told me.

Well I kinda don't send emails a lot.

It is sort of late, and I hater to rhyme, but this is great. If only they had it as one full video.

[Iron Voltex]

At first it only showed me the first half, but I re-loaded the page. 44 minutes and it's part one?! I think that's the longest episode yet!

Well, no point in PMing Sumiki about this as he isn´t a Reporter. Don´t worry, though, keep trying and you´ll eventually be cited as a source.

Nicktoons has it as one full video here.

Huh, I´ve just noticed the article links to the wrong site. Here is the correct link including part one and two. Anyway, part 1 and part 2 are both 22 min long, so this isn´t the longest episode. I can´t watch the version on Nicktoons, but does it start with the title Breakout Part 1? Is there even a break in the middle with the title Breakout Part 2?

-Gata

[Takanuinuva]

I just finished watching both part 1 and part 2. All I have to say is


Von Nebula is back

[Despair]

When I finished watching episode 1, the page automatically brought me to the 44 minute version that has both episodes in it. However, it may not do that for everyone so here is the link.

[Toa Lapaka]

started watching... then they started talking, doing stuff, and other junk and I just left

[tomdroidser]

I noticed that Evo was not calm and collected. Other than that, I liked the action.

-Tomdroidser

[Despair]

I know, what was up with that? He didn't seem at all like the rookie hero from Ordeal of Fire. Somehow he regressed in capability since then...

[Daiker]

Why is a Waspix in jail? They weren't evil - they were enslaved. In the movie the spikes are removed so....?

[King James]

Man, I totally forgot about it. I guess I'll watch it later today.

[Overmegasixwave]

Why is a Waspix in jail? They weren't evil - they were enslaved. In the movie the spikes are removed so....?

Because there's a limited amount of character models to work with, so some of the Savage Planet animals were thrown in to act as filler villains.

I don't know, as I skipped ahead to the part I hadn't seen. Are we getting another episode in the summer?

[JacKiril: Eternal Flame]

Diggin' that song from the credits. Sounds like CryoShell, but I doubt it. Lore is having a baby apparently and I doubt they'd go with them again. But that's old news, and they might have offered to do the song.

All in all, it's awesome.

The 'movie' itself was actually pretty good! The amount of cuts between scenes was pretty darn high but I suppose it was necessary. I'm a bit weirded out by the voice change with Evo. What's up with that?

Also noticed a lack of Nex, Bulk and Breez. Maybe we'll get another episode in the Summer... Hm...

[TheSkeletonMan939]

This video quality is awful...

No information about a possible summer episode yet.

I´ve heard somewhere that it´s Cryoshell but with another singer until Lore comes back.

I feel like if I were able to run through all of the Hero Factory episodes in one go, I might be able to sit down and give a fair judgment on whether or not I like it. I don't think there are more than 10 episodes, so I could manage that on a lazy day or something...

-Ced

There are nine episodes with a length of 22 minutes each, so that makes 198 minutes or three hours and 18 minutes. That can be done but I figure it would get boring after episode four or five. Personally, I would watch the first four first and the rest afterwards, also because the first four are disfferent enough from the rest as far as story, pace and style are concerned to watch them seperately.

[ToaGreshWave]

wow. this is by far the best ep. yet. Minimal corniness? Check. Cool and complex plotline? Check. Cliffhanger? Check. Lego stealing my idea of... (scroll down past the rest of this post if you haven't seen the episode yet as I have no clue how to add spoiler tags)Von Nebula stealing plans for the Hero Factory.

[Toa of the Blazing Inferno]

I'm confused by the episode numbering. There were four episodes for 1.0, one for 2.0, one for 3.0, and so far two for the Breakout line. Am I missing an episode somewhere? It seems to me there are only eight episodes, but the second Breakout one says it's episode 9. Can someone please explain what I'm missing here?

[SmoothJazz]

I am not really interested in the hf storyline. I just buy the sets.

[Legolover-361]

I watched the episode. It was far too quick for me to enjoy:

Spoiler

The breakout happened within the first couple minutes without explanation -- how was Voltix able to create a shadow-being to hit Von Nebula's staff? -- and right after that the Heroes got their armor and went off on their respective missions with nary any in-depth storytelling or character development. In general, the episode felt far too rushed and far too reliant on action.

I can definitely see why a younger audience would like the show: It's fast-paced and wastes no time in getting to the nitty-gritty of the plot. However, older viewers such as myself (read "older" as "twelve and up") will most likely be disappointed in the lack of any true plot / character development.

In short: It's fun, but dissatisfying.

the song is cryoshell

[Malignus]

I actually walked in on my sister watching it so i stuck around to watch, but she is always difficult to be around and was angry with me so she flips out and changes the channel just to spite me.

Our sisters share the same mind. I'll go see the episode tomorrow after school, I guess.

[Malignus]

If ur sister doesnt flip out and push a button.

[Axilus Prime]

I'll watch it online. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--cough. I mean, uh, AWESOME.

Since Savage Planet was divided in two parts just like Breakout, it´s sometimes counted as episodes six and seven.

[fishers64]

Well, I watched it, and I have to agree with the person that said the Speeda Demon part was just messed up. Although they did try to pull the suspense thing and got it pretty good, and I have admire the new storyline depth -

Spoiler

a villain factory? Really? Talk about smashing continuity. Why does Rocka vs. Phantom remind me of Takanuva vs. Makuta?

Yeppers, same pattern again. Two years of cheese, slide into depth on the third. Two years of intense depth coming... Will be shallower than Bionicle, because we started off shallower, but I probably will like this more in a year.

That said, putting all the HF planning files in one location so one guy can easily get to them and send them somewhere is just brilliant. :sarcasm: And I miss Evo the meditation master, although he hasn't completely dropped it - the "instinctual" thing semi-ties.

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

Huh? Evo? Your voice is strange...

[Veigar y]

If Evo has anti-toxic armor, why does he seem like he gets hurt so much when Toxic Reapa shoots him?

[Gatanui]

If Evo has anti-toxic armor, why does he seem like he gets hurt so much when Toxic Reapa shoots him?

I think only the gunmetal parts are anti-toxic armor, his yellow parts are not.

-Gata

Actually, I think it's more that even if it doesn't corrode his armor, a blast of that still has some stopping power. That, and as observed in the episode, the toxic ooze is somewhat sticky and impedes his movement until he manages to get it off.
