Hey guys...what do you call a Toa with power over math?

A SOHCAH-Toa!

...I blame The World Ends With You. And, by extension, Kingdom Hearts 3D. (The latter of which had a new trailer released this week, which was so awesome it almost gave me a heart attack!!! Hm? No, I wouldn't say addicted...)

But, as you know, we saw something else this week: the Hero Factory summer sets! So I figured I'd jot down some thoughts on those and their eventual Bioni-Spirits (although I probably won't make the Spirits until closer to the release of the sets). If you guys have some comments or suggestions for the Spirits, feel free to speak up! Ahem...

-First things first, though...Breez. ARRRRRRRRGH!! Why are we denied Breez until summer?!?! Time to learn German and import a European Breez so I don't have to wait... (Although I guess this makes her a "summer Breez"? ...Sorry, I like puns.)

-Next is Nex ( )...eh. For whatever reason, I'm just kinda neutral in opinion on this set. I already have some moves planned for the Spirit, but...is that arm supposed to be a laser or some kind of lightsaber weapon? This is very important. Probably laser...

-XT4...I'm all for nonsensical names, but I have to ask why they made this set. It's a scrawny, barebones scrap droid with an oversized buzzsaw...this guy's getting 130 FE, no more. Right now my best option for an Element is Steel.

-Stringer looks awesome! Yeah, maybe they changed his secondary color, but I think I actually like this one better than his original Halloween colors. And while I may not be a big fan of guns, I am impressed by Stringer's weapon, which I can only assume will be called "The Sonic Shotgun." The corresponding Spirit is virtually complete, just want to wait before deciding on one last non-offense technique.

-Core Hunter, huh? Sounds like someone who assassinates Hero Factory heroes...kinda like my version of Vapor. I bet they'd get along well. Anyway, he looks cool so far, and I shouldn't have a tough time picking techniques for his Spirit...not sure about the Element, though. I could always go with Shadow, but it's so common...

-Bulk, I love shoulder-mounted weapons, and you pull it off well...it just seems odd when you're supposed to have incredible physical strength and they give you all long-range weaponry. Still, the shoulder-mounted turret should provide plenty of techniques, and don't worry: I'll give you some close-range moves too.

-What is this madness known as Voltix? If this were a combiner model, then I would understand the need to have so many different colors, but for one individual set? No matter how much I want purple to make a comeback, I will not buy a set this...disorganized. Sorry. But at least the Element for his Spirit will be easy to decide on.

-I see that Stormer's been spending time in the gym. Guess who's getting 200 FE, two Elements, and an effect with more than just Technic Descendant? I feel like I should say something about the legs, but they're not that bad...although the head is a bit disproportionate. The sword is kinda lame, but I shall make it awesome for the Spirit! The flimsy frame you see now will merely serve as the skeleton for crafting a much larger sword out of either ice or light energy! Shouldn't be too hard to come up with attacks for him, even if he will need a lot more.

-Speeda Demon, Toxic Reapa...seems all lime villains from here on out will have gangsta names. Anywho, I like this set, and I may try to give him 200 FE...or maybe not. But he'll almost definitely have more than 140. Not sure about the Element, though--my first instinct says "Air" for the speed, but...? And no, his bike will not be a Vehicle Spirit, it'll be included as part of the Speeda Demon Spirit.
