  1. Hi, guys. What the title says. We need soundtracks and concept art for the Hero Factory TV episodes. I mean, Bionicle: Mask of Light, Bionicle: Legends of Metru Nui, and Bionicle: Web of Shadows have a lot of concept art and soundtracks shown. So should Bionicle: The Legend Reborn, Bionicle: The Journey to One, and the HF TV episodes. Like TLR and TJtO, HF only had little bits of concept art. We should email Lego for these things. If you guys know someone who worked on these things, that would be great. There. I said it. Don’t argue with me.
  2. Hi, guys. What the title says. We need soundtracks and concept art from Bionicle: The Legend Reborn in 2009 and Bionicle: The Journey to One in 2016. I mean, Mask of Light, Legends of Metru Nui, and Web of Shadows have a lot of concept art and soundtracks shown. So should the other two things. TLR and TJtO only had little bits of concept art. We should email Lego for these things. If you guys know someone who worked on these things, that would be great. There. I said it. Don’t argue with me.
  3. Yes. There are some stuff here and there. I guarantee it.
  4. It’s a guidebook in 2013. It tells some info on the 2010-2013 story arcs.
  5. I love Greg’s writing (though he should give the combination model and alternate model stuff more spotlight. Plus, more fights, put more time in the story, make things consistent, and bring everything together. I’m still upset about the infamous unfinished story serials). He was doing his best writing some stories for Hero Factory. His original HF stories, who are basically minor stories in HF’s main story arcs, are pretty good because they almost had the feel of Greg’s Bionicle works. I too read book number 5. It was quite an interesting story. It takes place in an alternate universe where Von Ness betrayed the Hero Factory earlier and helped Black Phantom and the Legion of Darkness destroy the Hero Factory in its early days. Due to that, no more Heroes were made (including Evo, Rocka, Breez, and Surge. Nex wasn’t mentioned in the book for some reason, but it’s logical that he wouldn’t exist if Hf was destroyed during its early days). Von Ness became Von Nebula, and he, the Legion of Darkness, XT4, and Core Hunter formed the Citadel, who took over much of the Galaxy. Von Nebula also got distorted by the power of the Black Hole Orb Staff rather than combining with it due to interference with Stormer, who also got distorted by the staff. It’s an alternate take of “Secret Mission 2: Legion of Darkness”. It’s like Bionicle’s multiverse stories, like Dark Mirror, but this story is about a group of villains (the Brains with wings) trying to go to the prime reality because of their evil intentions. Would you imagine Tuyet from Dark Mirror and Teridax from Bionicle’s The Kingdom planning to use a Kanohi Olmak to get to the prime reality to conquer it? That would have been unconventional, but interesting. It was very nice to see alternate versions of Von Nebula, the Legion of Darkness, XT4, and Core Hunter, the villains from 2010 and 2012. They made a dystopia on the Galaxy, and this is what happens in the prime reality if Hero Factory wasn’t there to protect it from them. It’s also interesting that Furno existed in the early days rather than the recent events in the prime reality. Plus, there are these Brains with wings, who evolved, are big, and can do mental blasts (like Hakann from Bionicle). They only wanted to destroy stuff, and they want mindless robotic bodies to do their heinous hobby. They look at Hero Factory as a way to do it, so that was why they wanted to go to the prime reality. The book introduced alternate versions of some details of Makuhero City, or Von Nebula City, that we don’t know. Plus, there’s that clerk robot lady named L-22. I wish the prime reality stuff have introduced their own versions of these things. As for the Galactic Conspiracy (I’m not sure if that’s their real name), these guys are selfish people would be remotely hurt their own men to accomplish their goals. They remotely paralyzed Perjast to help Karter use a hologram device to sabotage the Hero Factory’s generator in an attempt to destroy it (but generator did the inter-dimensional teleportation on four Heroes, which made the Brains want to go to their prime reality. When the Heroes came back from the alternate reality and then noticed Karter calling his boss, Stormer threatened the boss, but the boss claimed that Karter is their way to get to him, and then remotely killed Karter. The Conspiracy is thinking about moving to another location before they would get ready to fight the Hero Factory. For these situations, I felt bad for Perjast and Karter. Karter is a wretch who caused problems in book number 4 and 5, but his boss killing him? That’s not nice. For Perjast, he, Dumacc from number 4, and Geb from number 1 are better off working for Hero Factory because they are mistreated by their villainous accomplices. From what you said about Von Nebula and Makuro, let me say that. Makuro does not like crime, so that’s why he created the Hero Factory. He wants the Heroes to be good, like how the Great Beings want the Toa to be that way. However, several Heroes are flawed, and Makuro did not see that coming. Von Ness (unknown first name) and Core Hunter (he may have a real name since he was once an Hero. I mean, why name a Hero “Core Hunter” when he hunts down Hero Cores? A villain would do such a thing, so yes) are examples of Heroes who became villains, as Von Ness became Von Nebula, and some guy became Core Hunter (Note: The prime reality’s Core Hunter is still alive. He is imprisoned in the Hero Factory again. I’m glad Greg was considerate of him since Core Hunter has a set in 2012). It’s okay to have free will. It’s that Hero Factory isn’t actually perfect. Ask Nidhiki and Tuyet about it. In the alternate reality, Makuro called Von Nebula a “metal mistake” because Makuro did not like what Von Nebula did to him, his city, and the Hero Factory. I wonder if the alternate reality Furno may have pressured Von Ness into becoming a villain. Von Ness is cowardly, anyway. Von Nebula is obsessed with destroying Stormer because of his ruined body. Why not get someone to repair the two’s bodies? That did not make sense. The prime reality Heroes are quite smug with their “crimes” in Von Nebula City. That’s one thing that I like about the book. It’s because they know how to deal with the alternate reality Von Nebula, Legion of Darkness, XT4, and Core Hunter because they fought and defeat their prime reality counterparts before. However, the Heroes had no experience fighting the villains’ guards called Jolters and the winged Brains until later on. For the alternate Heroes, which are a much smaller group than the one in the prime reality, they suffered because of the Citadel. I felt bad for them (I’m also surprised that we don’t see alternate Bulk or Thresher (plus, Thresher’s first name is unknown)). For the winged Brains, these things are vile wretches that want to destroy stuff, and they believed that the prime reality’s Hero Factory would be a way to do it because they want mindless robotic bodies, so they would build battle machines. If the Brains had noticed Takanuva, Mazeka, Vultraz, and Vezon inter-dimensional traveling, they would find them and then go find a Kanohi Olmak to invade the prime reality as well as the Kingdom reality, the Toa Empire reality, the Melding reality, and the Spherus Magna Reformation reality (imagine people from the Matoran Universe and Spherus Magna have to fight those things). Alternate Teridax, the good one with Light powers, would have to fight the Brains as much as Shadow Takanuva. That would be interesting to see as well. Overall, book number 5 is a good story. Not the best, but it’s kind of fun. This multiverse-thing is becoming annoying in many franchises, though, and I feel this needs to stop (I believe that could be why people think that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is “not doing so well these days”. I believe it still does. It’s just that it needs to get all of its lost character rights back completely. Good thing that there are rumors where this is possible of some ways). Sadly, book number 5 is the last of the Secret Mission books. The Galactic Conspiracy wasn’t taken care of. For the prime reality Brains, their creator is still on the loose. We got Invasion From Below, instead, which is a story arc that did not pick up where the Brain Attack story arc left off. I would also be nice if the BA story arc had an actual confusion before IFB happened. I would like to think that the Brain maker had copied DNA from the prime reality’s own winged Brains in order to make the small ones. During the Brain attack, this guys had build mindless robotic bodies for the winged Brains, so they would build battle machines. All nine main members of the Alpha 1 Team would get Brain Attack upgrades, find the Brain Factory, defeat the maker and the winged Brains, and destroy the factory to end their threat once and for all. Anyway, you should go read Face Off: Makuro’s Secret Guidebook and those four DK Readers books because they expanded on the story a little more.
  6. I go with “Kaukau” because they look like they are wearing them, and I want variety for the Matoran in the game. It’s reason that way.
  7. Hi, guys. When you are a Hero Factory fan who enjoyed using codes from the 2011 Hero canister sets, and the 2012 and 2013 sets to unlock content and earn points from online games, you would understand. When the Hero Factory was cancelled, its online content is gone, sadly. So, I hope that Lego would be kind enough to give us all of the content, and they archived it (of course, we have Internet Archives, but it does not have everything. Plus, there’s Christian Faber, but he only gives us concept art). I mean, think about it. Lego should give us these things: 1. Hero Factory FM. This one does not have a thirteen broadcast as announced. 2. The Lego Magazines that featured Hero Factory stuff (including those promotional newspapers in the UK magazines). 3. All Hero Factory comics (there is at least one missing, which is the second half of “Breakout: Issue 2”, located in Lego Club Inside Scoop in 2012. Plus, Comic 5: Ordeal of Fire, is missing a second half). 4. All online, promo animations, and commercials (good quality, like 4k. I can think of one animation that is lost, which is the one showcasing the summer 2013 Hero sets in the Brain Attack episode. Plus, it would be cool if there is a video showing an extended clip of Dragon Bolt’s Brain transformation in the episode, like the other Brain-possessed creatures). 5. All online games (Breakout is missing an XT4 level and hopefully and maybe a final level where you finally catch Black Phantom. Hopefully, they would be included). 6. All Hero Factory TV episodes (good quality, have all of them included in iTunes and Lego’s YouTube channel like this). 7. All codes for all twelve Creep Crushers versions. 8. All codes and guides for the Breakout game. 9. All codes for the Brain Attack game. 10. All game apps and their downloadable content for free. 11. All Lego Club Inside Scoop articles that are about Hero Factory, including Omega Recon Reports in 2012. This one does not have a fifth Omega Recon Report as announced. 12. All online posters, screensavers, and wallpapers. Plus, other online content, like those Previous Missions and News stories, and the Hero Recon Team website content. 13. All Lego Club Code content (I could not find the 2010 Surge poster). So, there. It’s like talking about video game compilations, like Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cowabunga Collection, and Sonic Origins. I really hope Lego will give us all of these things, so HF’s legacy will be completely preserved. Bionicle should have that treatment, too (I know that we have BioSector01 and HEROSector01, but they don’t have everything. There are huge numbers of “citations needed” stuff). It would also be cool if we get more concept art of the episodes, the animation models for Vapor, Furno Bike’s Furno’s bike form, the 2010 Drop Ship and its pilot, Bulk’s Vapor look, Breakout Breez, Breakout Bulk, Breakout Nex, Thornraxx, XT4, Core Hunter, and Jet Rocka’s tall form. Plus, scripts for the story, including the episodes. Would be cool if we were given concept ideas about Stringer and Nex’s Brain Attack forms, own Brain-possessed monsters, and Invasion From Below sets. It’s all about nostalgia. I know I ask a lot, but I hope you guys have a heart to understand.
  8. Hi, guys. I have been studying Hero Factory. Five of the main antagonists are like parts of Makuta Teridax from Bionicle. Here’s how it is: 1. Von Nebula - A tall mastermind and would-be conquerer who wear black armor, has red eyes, uses a staff, and does gravity. 2. Fire Lord - A tall megalomaniac villain who absorbs energy. 3. Witch Doctor - A tall maniac who uses a staff and mind-controls animals 4. Black Phantom - A tall and smart mastermind and would-be conquerer who wears black armor, and uses a staff. 5. The guy who created the Brains - This guy also wears black armor. He creates the Brains, which are like Kraata and can mind-control beings. So, there. Quite interesting about these Teridax-wannabes. You guys ever thought about that? Note: I would expect Confused Piraka and Master Inika to say something unreasonable, so if they do, please go along with my idea, not saying your non-constructive ideas. You guys have been doing it a lot to my topics lately. So, I’m looking at you guys.
  9. That’s what I’m trying to say to him!
  10. Hey. We all have a right to say our comment. It’s rude, man.
  11. I think Vakama created them, and then he and the other Toa Metru hid them across the island to get ready for the Toa Mata.
  12. I don’t think you had to write that there, but I understand. It’s a good apology. When Bionicle was around, people in BZPower used to be positive and talk nonsense and pessimism. When Bionicle got cancelled twice, they act negative and talk nonsense and pessimism. For Hero Factory, sort of. You gotta be careful with people who make such comments. Most people just don’t care what idea you are trying to state. If you are thinking about Discord, I would use it if I were you. People in there act immature. Trust me. I tried to contribute ideas for their projects called Bionicle: The Legend of Mata Nui Rebuilt, but they sort of spat at me and made fun of my ideas. I tried to sound productive. I really do. If you are thinking about other social media things, like Facebook and Reddit, that is sort of the case. Some people are weirdos. No offense, but it’s true. Overall, good apology, but be careful just in case. If I were you, I would talk to the guy personally. He may not be a member of BZPower, or if he is, he wouldn’t use it often and could be busy doing some Bionicle fan projects.
  13. I would merge Bionicle G1 with Hero Factory. Plus, Ninjago with Nexo Knights, Hidden Side, and Dreamzzz.
  14. Hi, guys. You know that Bionicle G1 has a lot of types of media, like direct-to-video movies, Mata Nui Online Games, comics, chapter books, online story serials, etc. However, it did not have a TV show. Ninjago has the right idea of using the TV show as the primary source of canon. Hero Factory and Bionicle G2 tried to have their own TV shows, but they did not expanded on their stories, and the shows prematurely ended with unresolved cliffhangers and other things. That’s unhealthy. I mean, think about it. Transformers G1 started with a TV show, which is well-received, like Ninjago. So, Bionicle G1 should have used a TV show rather than the media that it got (there are some unresolved things, and two unfinished online serials, anyway. Also not healthy). A TV show would give G1 a good layout on many things, including ones that got unresolved. The movies just had some snippets of one of G1’s story arcs here and there, but a TV show could include everything. This would give animators more time to make the characters and other things look more accurate to their finalized sets (but keep the human-ish realism and five-fingered hands), and more characters from the story would have been added. So, there. This could have made G1 a little better than what actually happened. I get that you guys like to have nostalgia, but still. Maybe that could have saved Bionicle G1 from its toyline’s cancellation in 2010. The story would have finally gotten a real conclusion that way.
  15. Lehvak Va is not the only Bohrok Va to have this case. The other Bohrok Va types have that because they do combination models, too. Widen up your perspective, will you?
  16. Hi, guys. I studied the Heroes’ arms and shoulders. Some of the 2.0, regular 3.0, and regular Breakout Hero sets have broader shoulders than the others' because of their torso pieces that have broader shoulders. Brain Attack Stormer's set also has broader shoulders than the other regular Brain Attack Hero sets'. However, in the episodes, all 2.0 and regular 3.0 Heroes have equal-lengthed shoulders by using the torso pieces with broader shoulders. Breakout Furno is the only regular Breakout Hero in the episodes to have broader shoulders, so his Aquajet Pack can be fitted onto him. All regular Brain Attack Heroes have torso pieces with closer shoulders. Also, according to instructions for the broader-shouldered sets' non-canon combination models in the Hero Factory website, the sets' torso pieces with broader shoulders are required to build the combination models. Half of the 2.0 sets have longer forearms than the others'. All of the 3.0 sets but Stringer 3.0 have pairs of these forearms. Stringer 3.0 has one long forearm for a left forearm and a short forearm for a right forearm for some reason. Rocka XL, Breakout Rocka, Breakout Evo, and Breakout Bulk's sets have long right forearms and various short left forearms for some reason. Breakout Surge, Breakout Nex, and Breakout Stringer's sets have short forearms. Breakout Furno's set has long forearms. Breakout Breez's set has longer forearms than Furno's. The small Brain Attack Hero sets have short forearms while the medium-sized ones have longer forearms. However, in the episodes, all 2.0 and 3.0 Heroes have pairs of short forearms. Rocka XL's right forearm is as short as his left. Breakout Rocka has short forearms for some reason. Breakout Evo has short forearms. Brain Attack Surge has short forearms for some reason, probably a mistake. So, there. You guys notice these things?
  17. No offense, but that’s not constructive. You didn’t answer my question. Oh. Okay. Thanks for clarifying. I knew it felt sort of off.
  18. Hi, guys. I was reading over this BioSector01 page, https://biosector01.com/wiki/BIONICLEsector01:Chronology . It says that the two story serials, “The Yesterday Day” and “The Power That Be” take place a month after Spherus Magna was restored. I question this because I don’t think it should take that long. I mean, here’s what I understand: 1. There is a golden-skinned monster created. He, along with an army of Skakdi and the Toa Mahri, went outside of the Matoran Universe after it was damaged. He built a castle in seconds with his power. Then, Annona showed to challenge the monster. The monster and Sahmad won the fight. 2. Lewa and some folks were in the Great Spirit Robot’s Core Processor, but Teridax threw them away when he was heading to Bara Magna. Then, Vezon showed up and saved them by putting them in a deranged Great Being’s fortress in Bota Magna. The folks are arguing about freeing him or not. Lewa got bored and then went outside. He then got captured by some Jungle Agori. Then, after a Teridax was destroyed, Velika showed up and planned to blow up the building. Apparently, the argument felt like days. Lewa hadn’t returned to this group since he left the building. What’s he doing now? Hanging out with the Agori? 3. According to The Power That Be, when Gaaki was exhausted, it is said that “she had been working for days to help sea creatures and other ocean dwellers to migrate from the ruined Makuta robot to the safety of Aqua Magna.” Kopaka then came to tell Gaaki about the golden-skinned monster. Kopaka spent much of the day observing the salvage crews. In the evening, he and Pohatu met Lesovikk. On the next day, they found Karzahni’s dead body. On the next day, Kopaka and Pohatu were preparing to go find Lesovikk. The two “rode north for three days”. I think they were using Sand Stalkers and may have ended up in the place where Tarduk and his friends encountered five Element Lords earlier. That’s where they met Gaardus and then got stuck in the Red Star. 4. At the beginning of The Yesterday Quest, Onua sent three Toa and Gelu to find the Great Beings. Several days later, in Bota Magna, they were attacked by Vorox from there. A day later, the Vorox played a hunting game on the heroes. The Vorox are sent by Velika to do this. So, there. To me, it’s almost a week since Journey’s End. I would like to think that the Red Star situation and Vorox situation may be happening at the same time. Of course, it would be hassle traveling around the Matoran Universe to salvage stuff and dismantling the two giant robots from Journey’s End. Did Greg Farshtey said that the events in the story serials happened a month after Journey’s End?
  19. There’s one time that I’m curious about: In the past, like over 10 years, we have seen prototypes of the games. Some look like finalized and different versions of the game, and the versions had slightly different names. The game felt kind of fuzzy here and there. In 2021-2023, we got a version of the game that looks absolutely finalized, like all modern games released in today’s video game systems. None of the versions are released, right? Anyway, I’m looking forward to the game!
  20. Nice review. Anyway, here’s what I think about the first four Secret Mission books: The books felt the same way as the Bionicle books in 2003-2010. These books only tell the minor events in the Hero Factory story rather than major events seen in the TV episodes. The books could have made good episodes. I must warn you that that the books have some contradicting facts from the TV episodes and some other content. It’s nice to see Bulk using his brain a little more. In the TV show, he is a fun-loving guy who is a little gullible, but I am sort of fine with the books’ way of showing Bulk’s personality. Secret Mission 1: The Doom Box takes place in weeks after the events of Episode 9: Breakout Part 2 in 2012. It’s about Core Hunter, one of the Breakout set villains and who was once a Hero, like Von Nebula, trying to reassemble a dangerous weapon that could destroy the Galaxy. The Heroes had to put Mission: Catch ‘Em and Cuff ‘Em aside to stop him. In the end, when Surge redirected Core Hunter’s Doom Box powers to him, Core Hunter fold onto himself and disappeared (I was hoping he survived the ordeal because no set villain would die. Spoiler Alert. I’m glad Secret Mission 5: Mirror World in May 2013 and Face Off: Makuro’s Secret Guidebook in August 2013 revealed that he is still alive. Read those things please, Master Inika.). The book showed Surge’s fear of turning evil, which is something that the show never showed. He wasn’t doing something comical, like in the show. The fear was mentioned in that booklet in July 2010 called Hero Factory Promotional Magazine. Surge didn’t overcome his fear. He just faced it. It’s nice to see that. It’s also nice that one of the villains who created the Doom Box, Arctur, reformed and helped the Heroes stop Core Hunter. He sacrificed his life in doing so. It’s nice to see Core Hunter in the book. Secret Mission 2: Legion of Darkness takes place in the Hero Factory’s early days. It also showed all of the Breakout villains except Core Hunter being in a gang called the Legion of Darkness. It’s nice for these solo villains to have banded together, like Von Nebula’s gang and the Fire Villains. The Legion is basically like the Piraka and the Barraki (the Piraka and Barraki should make friends with these guys). It is also nice to learn about Thresher and Von Ness a little more. Von Ness did his sins in the events of that story before the one in New Stellac City, which made him a villain called Von Nebula. It is also nice to see Thornraxx and XT4 showing up, and to learn how XT4 became a villain. There is one thing that I’m confused about Furno, Breez, and Surge: In a news story in early 2011, they became veteran Heroes after defeating Von Nebula and his gang before they fought the Fire Villains. However, in SM1 and SM2, they are still called rookies and are still treated as such. Secret Mission 3: Collision Course (January 1, 2013) takes place after the events of Episode 10: Brain Attack in mid-March 2013. It is about the Heroes trying to stop a giant space ship called the Valiant from crashing into the Hero Factory. A swarm of Brains, who are implied to have come from the very swarm from Episode 10, possessed many crew members in the ship and made the ship fly straight towards Hero Factory. The ship’s captain, Aquax, is Stormer’s good friend from his past. The Heroes were struggling on figuring out how to stop the ship from hitting the Hero Factory. It’s a lot of stress in the characters here and there. I didn’t expect the Heroes to reluctantly want to blow up the ship with innocents in there. Stormer wasn’t honest about his involvement in the ship. Breez was concerned about her worthiness for her team. Xera betrayed his crew because he believes there is something wrong with many people’s minds. Bulk was about to quit his job when Stormer stopped him because Bulk was right about Stormer worrying about Aquax. There is something contradicting in the book: Stormer did not know how to remove a Brain from its host when in Episode, he learned how to. Evo in the book also did not know what the Brains are when in Episode 10, he fought them. Stormer had his Breakout weapons in the book rather than his Brain Attack ones for some reason. The Heroes could have removed the Brains from their hosts rather than forcing the Brains to remove themselves from the hosts. The Heroes have the strength and equipment, shown in Episode 10. Secret Mission 4: Robot Rampage (March 1, 2013) is a direct sequel to number 3, and takes place in a week after the events of number 3. It is about Furno and Bulk trying to save Stringer from another swarm of Brains, who were implied to have also come from the swarm in Episode 10, in planet Tranquis VII. Along the way, they discovered a secret conspiracy preparing a weapon that could threaten many planets in the galaxy. These people have a grudge against Hero Factory, and they do not trust Hero Factory. I’m glad to hear that Mission: Catch ‘Em and Cuff ‘Em is completed, as all villains who escaped from the Hero Factory’s prison are recaptured (took Hero Factory long enough to get all of them back behind laser bars). That’s what Furno said. It’s also sad to hear that many robots in the galaxy do not trust the Heroes because of the Breakout. Karter is a conniving villain who has no respect for Dumacc, the scientist who was managing Project Sunstorm. Dumacc was gullible, but it’s nice that he reformed when he saw the true evil nature of the conspiracy. He helped the Heroes fight the Brains. There is two things that I’m iffy about. In the episode, Furno learned a way to remove a Brain from its host, but in the book, he did it differently and remembered doing it in the events of the episode. That’s felt wrong. Also, the Heroes have captured the Brains in stasis containers, but they never removing the Brains that still had their hosts. The Heroes put the hosts in more containers to prevent them from causing another rampage. Why not remove the Brains from the hosts right away, too? They know how to do it (Spoiler Alert: I think they did, as mentioned in SM5). So, there. These books are fun to read, and it’s nice to see some character development that the episodes never showed. If Greg were to write such stories in the episodes, that could be better. I wish we see more of some characters, like Surge, Stringer, and Nex. Next for you to read is SM5. Plus, the DK Readers books and the guidebook. They’re worth the read. I hope you wouldn’t be disappointed in these books.
  21. Hey, guys. I studied the Heroes’ heights in their sets. In 2010, the Heroes are around the same height as Bionicle Stars in 2010. They are about 6 inches. However, in the 2010 commercials, when the Heroes were on an Earth patio or on a basketball field, they look like they are around as tall as an average human man. I would say the Heroes are around six feet tall at least (1 inch in set = 1 foot in story). The TV show does give you a similar feeling. The medium-sized 2010 villain sets (XPlode, Meltdown, Corroder, and Thunder) are taller than the Hero sets, as they are around 7 inches in their sets, so we can assume they are 7 feet tall. Same goes to Vapor. The five villains are basically around as tall as the Toa, who are around 7.2 feet tall. Von Nebula and Rotor are titan sets, so their sets are around 9 inches tall, so they could be 9 feet in story. They look like they are around the size of Tuma. There is this combiner set named Lucas Valor, who is a Hero who appears to be taller than the 1.0 Heroes. However, no other Heroes look like him, so I think it’s non-canon that he is taller than the other Heroes. In the Hero 2.0 and 3.0 sets, the Heroes got a little taller than their 1.0 forms, like an inch taller in the TV show when you compare Furno 2.0 to Surge 1.0 in one scene in the Ordeal of Fire episode. Two of them, Stormer 2.0 and Rocka 3.0, are taller than the others. Stormer 3.0 is at the same size as the normal-sized 2.0 and 3.0 Heroes, as he is shorter than his 2.0 form for some reason. You can tell by the forelegs. However, in the TV show, all 2.0 and 3.0 Heroes are at the same height as each other, as they are all shorter than Stormer 2.0 and Rocka 3.0 in a sense. I would think it’s canon that all 2.0 and 3.0 Heroes are at the same height. When I looked at Stormer 2.0 and Rocka 3.0’s combiner instructions, you need their abnormally tall foreleg pieces to build the combiners. In 2012, some of the Hero sets are taller than the others. The short Breakout Heroes are as short as the normal-sized 2.0 and 3.0 Heroes. The tall ones are as tall as the medium-sized 2010 villains. The TV show showed that. So, the tall Heroes are around 7.2 feet tall, like the medium-sized 2010 villains and Toa. In 2013, it’s the same as 2012, but in different ways. The small Brain Attack Heroes are as tall as the Stormer 2.0 and Rocka 3.0 in their sets, making them taller than the short Breakout Heroes. The tall Brain Attack Heroes (Stormer and Surge) are slightly shorter than the tall Breakout Heroes, but slightly taller than the small Brain Attack ones. That’s all in the sets. The Brain Attack episode shows that. So, I would think that it’s canon this way. I guess the Heroes can change their leg-lengths to change her size by using the Assembly Tower to do so. In 2014, we got play sets, but the play sets don’t mean the characters are shrunk in the 2014 story arc. In the show in general, the 1.0 Heroes are around the same height as the worker robots. In Invasion From Below, the IFB Heroes are way taller than the workers when you compare IFB Rocka to one of the workers in one scene. In the Breakout Part 1 episode, when you also compare Breakout Rocka, who is a tall Breakout Hero, to Furno 2.0 in one scene, they have almost the same height difference as IFB Rocka and the worker, so I say that the IFB Heroes are as tall as the tall Breakout Heroes in the canon. So, there. It’s not easy measuring the heights, but this is my analysis. Anyone notice that, too?
  22. Hi, guys. 2023 was a decent year for us Bionicle fans. The new year is coming, so here are my Bionicle-related hopes for it. Of course, we all hope for Bionicle to come back somehow (like G1’s story being re-continued and bringing back Greg Farshtey), but I am currently thinking about other things: 1. Perhaps getting the new Monkie Kid set with Onua’s Pakari. 2. 2023 showed us a GWP set of Tahu and Takua (brick-built versions of the characters). That was a great thing from the year, despite Bionicle not officially coming back this year (it’s just a remake of the 2001 Tahu set similar to a Ninjago Legacy set). I would hope for the GWP versions of the other five Toa Mata. 3. GWP version of Tahu Nuva or the whole Toa Nuva team, Vakama or the whole Toa Metru or Toa Hordika team, Jaller or the whole Toa Inika or Toa Mahri team. GWP versions of Mata Nui, Ackar, Kiina, Gresh, and the main members of Hero Factory’s Alpha 1 Team would be nice. Perhaps GWP versions of the G2 Toa, too. 4. A Bionicle Lego Ideas project to be turned into an official Lego set hopefully. 5. More concept art, cut content, prototype stuff, and unused ideas about Bionicle in general, like Bionicle: The Legend Reborn in 2009, Hero Factory, and Bionicle G2. I mean, for examples: 5.1. I want soundtracks from these guys because the Miramax trilogy in 2003-2005 has them. 5.2. It would be cool if there were unused plans of putting Malum, Strakk, Perditus, Telluris, Fero, and other 2009 set characters in The Legend Reborn, putting Vapor, Breakout Bulk, Breakout Breez, Breakout Nex, Thornraxx, XT4, and Core Hunter in the Hero Factory TV show. Plus, putting Matoran and Kopeke in Mask of Light movie, the 2004 Matoran and combo model characters in Legends of Metru Nui (Lohrak is one), and combo model characters in Webs of Shadows (like the Dark Hunters and Voporak). Plus, that Drop Ship pilot in 2010, Bulk’s Jet-pack look, Furno’s bike look, and Rocka’s Jet form. 5.3. Extended fights against Meltdown and Thunder before the final battle in HF’s 2010 story arc. 5.4. Plans for sets for Thresher, Stringer 2.0, Bulk 2.0, Rocka 2.0, Evo 3.0, Breez 3.0, Surge 3.0, Stringer’s Brain Attack form and foe, Nex’s Brain Attack form and foe, and Stringer and Nex’s Battle Machines. Plus, a combo model for 2010 Stringer, 2010 Bulk, and 2010 Surge, and combo models for Breakout Rocka, Stringer, Bulk, Breez, and Nex, and Stormer XL, and their Breakout foes. 5.5. Plans for having Surge 2.0 fight the Fire Villains in the early 2011 story arc, Brain Attack Surge fight Dragon Bolt, fights against Dragon Bolt’s Brain-possessed members of his kind, Stringer and Bulk’s roles in the early 2011 story arc (Ordeal of Fire), Evo, Breez, and Surge’s roles for the late 2011 story arc (Savage Planet), Bulk, Breez, and Nex’s fights against their Breakout foes (as in being shown in the TV episodes), the Heroes catching and cuffing the other Hero Factory villains who escaped during the Breakout (like Von Nebula’s gang, the Fire Villains, and the Witch Doctor), Stringer’s and Nex’s roles in the Brains’ attack on Makuhero City and Invasion From Below, Von Nebula coming back, and the combo models’ roles in the story. I mean, Lucas Valor’s giant appearance isn’t canon, right? Plus, there is an unnamed rookie Hero and his villain, who only appeared in a Lego Magazine in 2012. Are these guys canon? 5.6. I would like to think that HF’s Breakout online game in 2012 was going to have a level for XT4 and his home planet called Mechna, and perhaps a final battle where you have to fight all nine Breakout villains again, but having Black Phantom get captured this time, but all of this is cut content, like how Mata Nui Online Game II lost some Le-Matoran. 5.7. I wonder if there were plans for more Hero Factory episodes and what were the original plans for the cancelled Bionicle movie 6’s plot and the cancelled Bionicle G1 graphic novels (we already got the script for the cancelled Bionicle movie 5). Plus, plans for Hero Factory fighting the Galactic Conspiracy from HF’s Secret Missions books and the Villain Factory, as foreshadowed by the Breakout episodes in 2012. 5.8. Cut content and original plans for most Bionicle and Hero Factory video games and online games. I mean, was there supposed to be a sequel to Bionicle Heroes and sequels to HF’s Mission games? 6. All of the Bionicle movies, all of the HF episodes, and Bionicle’s The Journey to One show being put in DVD’s iTunes, and Lego’s official YouTube channel. Plus, all of Bionicle and HF’s online and app games and their bonus content being re-released. Plus, Hero Factory’s online game guides and comics being re-released. 7. If the Turaga of Mata Nui had named some parts of the island of Mata Nui after the Rahaga. It would also be cooler if there were plans for sets for some Bionicle G1 characters, like Karzahni’s original form, Helryx, Artakha, all of the Toa Hagah, Lariska, and Triglax. Plus, plans for the Toa Nuva Mistika and Makuta Mistika’s own Matoran partners (like how the Phantoka warriors do). 8. Plus, plans for sets for all of the G2 Toa Mata’s Skull foe sets and their drained versions of the Golden Masks of Powers in 2015, their Elemental Beast foes and their corrupted versions of the normal Unity Masks in 2016, and the original plans for Bionicle G2’s cancelled third year (as in the story arc focusing on the Mask of Ultimate Power the most). Plus, G2 Toa Nuva, and G2 versions of other G1 characters, like Takanuva, and objects, like the Exo-Toa. 9. The planned roles for some combo model characters in the stories, like the Toa Kaita for the Toa Metru, Toa Inika/Toa Mahri, the Toa Hagah, and the G2 Toa Mata. Plus, switching up the colors for some combo models and alternate models, like those Rahi. 10. I always wonder if there were plans on making Bionicle G1 and HF share the same universe. I still think they do. It’s just that it’s business, so this didn’t happen. However, Faber did hint this lately in his social media stuff. If that were to happen, I wonder if there were plans for a G2 for Hero Factory and having it and Bionicle G2 share the same universe. So, there. It’s a lot to wonder and hope for. I hope Christian Faber would help us solve these mysteries. If we could somehow contact the developers for these official stuff, we would know. Plus, I hope we will get updates about these incomplete fan-made stuff. I also hope they will be complete soon: 1. Bionicle: The Legend of Mata Nui Rebuilt 2. Bionicle: Quest for Mata Nui 3. Bionicle: Mask of Powers People are going crazy with these fan games. I hope someone will fix up the Breakout game, too. So, there. Sorry that I wrote a lot, but yes.

  24. I think it’s because Legion of Darkness is looked at as the best Secret Mission book. You should get all five Secret Missions books, all four DK Readers books, and Face-Off: Makuro’s Secret Guidebook. They’re great, too. I wish Greg’s writing would have been incorporated into the TV episodes. Think of some great episodes it could have been. It would be like the Bionicle G1 chapter books. However, I must warn you, some parts of the books may have some things that contradict the canon. But, please, go buy all of these books.
  25. Yikes. Well, if I were to have the power to re-continue the story, I would like to revive Matoro and some other characters, If I do that, would your reactions be the same? I would expect you guys to cry in happiness, as if this is like Avengers: Endgame. If I were to have the power to convinced Kevin Feige to revive Black Widow and Iron Man, I would hope the audience would feel happy to see them again, too. If you guys really aren’t sure about reviving characters, please read this: https://prostorybuilders.com/back-from-the-dead-resurrect-revive-characters/#:~:text=The key is to make,it works in your story.
