The story lines were basic enough. The Hero characters were kinda plain. Stormer and Furno were okay... although still a little off at times, and it was a shame that the others hardly had much limelight. It was always Stormer this, Furno that. Some of the support tech bots had better characterization than Breeze, Surge, Bulk, and Stringer. Just saying.

 

BUT. Man, the fights were good. Now, I was blown away by the Glatorian fights in TLR. Like, the figures actually had swords that they clanged together! Big step for Lego! But Hero Factory did take it to another level. Specifically, I enjoyed the Stormer vs Xplode fight in the first episode and the jetpack fight in the third. And besides the fights, the villains were remarkable, especially Xplode and Corroder. The final fight with all four of them in the end could've been epic. It wasn't, but at least the villains had an epic entrance. XD.

 

So, it exceeded my expectations for a Lego movie / TV series. But, as I said, the characters were a little thin, and the attempts at humor were rather painful at times. If you were into The Legend Reborn, this would probably work for you. If you have decided to hate Hero Factory with all your life force... then I probably won't be able to convince you to watch it anyway.
