His name is Color Battle.My Technic Masterpiece.I dubbed him a "Hero Factory Killer" because, he is bigger, better and badder than any of those little baby Hero Factory robots. I want Technic parts out of my figures, not limbs and obnoxious pieces.He stands about 16 inches tall, and weilds a laser rifle.The hands are an old design of mine. And the hips and torso incorporates System elements into it. This guy is a brick, everything sticks to itself.He is third in my Color robot series,first being Big Color:http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=490456which then was rebuilt into Color Spike:http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=500731which then was rebuilt to Color Battle, pictured here, link for gallery below photo.I cannot figure out how to make this photo smaller.For more pictures, bigger and more detailed, view theColor Battle Gallery:http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=502192Edit: Image thumbnailed due to dimension and file size.

A somewhat quick observational drawing, had trouble with ideas for background so left as is, tried not to delve into fantasy too much for this piece. Might make this part of a series maybeAlso made on a 18 x 20 or so sheet of paperCorroderAnyways I'd love to get your opinions on it I don't mind a little criticism I know some of the lines are a little messy.. But still any commentary is appreciated

I was talking to a couple of kids the other day, aged around eleven or twelve years old. The subject of Bionicle came up:"You know they're not making Bionicles any more, right?" said one."Yeah, I heard about that," I said. "But they still make something similar, right?""They make Hero Factory, which is kinda lame. " he said."The TV show is really bad. I mean, they all have guns and stuff, but because it's a kids' show, they can't actually shoot properly. They keep missing each other. ALL THE TIME." said his friend."They're like stormtroopers!"The kids still liked Bionicle sets, and still played with them, but neither of them had bought any Hero Factory sets. But from what I could tell, neither of them had been particularly interested in the Bionicle story- they didn't even seem to know the characters' names. However, they had encountered Hero Factory's storyline, and it was apparently enough to deter them from buying the sets.Now, this isn't necessarily a criticism of Hero Factory, since they might have just as easily been put off Bionicle if they'd happened to watch The Legend Reborn. But I think it illustrates how having a good- or bad- story can affect a child's enthusiasm for buying toys. Now, maybe it's just that Hero Factory is pitched at a slightly younger audience, but I think a few tweaks to the story and a different approach to the TV show would make it more compatible with kids over the age of ten.Another example- Beyblades. They're pretty ordinary as far as toys go- they're little more than dressed-up spinning tops. They didn't sell well in some Australia when they first came out...until Australian TV started showing the cartoon. Suddenly, everyone wanted one, and my mother spent several hours outside Toys 'R' Us in a long line just so my little brother could have a Master Dragoon for Christmas.So, for you, how do the Bionicle and Hero Factory storylines affect which toys you buy?

So, I was doodling and sketched Jawblade, so I decided to draw a pic of him fighting Furno.Large-ish picture, so I'll leave you with the link.http://www.majhost.c...ovsjawblade.jpgEDIT: Since people keep bringing it up: Yes, Jawblade is huge. Yes, I know. Yes, it was completely intentional.Kalhiki

Those are new revamps of William Furno and Natalie Breez, now as Hero Factory Spec Ops team. This department has no relations to Hero Recon Team, only best of the best could participate it. HFSO is coordinated my professor Makuro himself from his office.http://www.brickshel.../img_0546_r.jpgUsually HFSO is used for delivering dangerous cargo, catching the most elusive and powerful villains and escorting important persons.For such a tasks Zib and Quadal has worked up new skeletons which combine flexibility and simpliciy of 2.0 frames and strength and aesthetics of first line.Details of construction:http://www.brickshel.../img_0568_r.jpghttp://www.brickshel.../img_0577_r.jpghttp://www.brickshel.../img_0572_r.jpghttp://www.brickshel.../img_0575_r.jpgThat's how they made frame that pretty mobile and friendly to most of modifications.

BIONICLE: THE FORGOTTEN BOND PrologueIn the time before time, when the Great Beings were just about to create the Matoran, a mysterious entity approached them and offered them an object of great power. It was a large (Lego) brick-shaped object that glowed bright blue with pure energy, and they were told that if they were to use this object’s energy in their new creations, said creations would not only fulfill their intended purpose, but one day may go on to do something even greater. Taken by curiosity, the Great Beings used the brick’s energy in the creation of the Matoran and moved on to other matters, expecting to one day find out if the stranger had indeed told them the truth. As they waited the evil Makuta struck against Mata Nui, bringing an age of great darkness upon the Matoran, but six heroes—the Toa Mata—rose and defeated Makuta. Retreating deeper into the darkness, Makuta plans his next strike against the Matoran…“Foolish Toa,” Makuta said. “They think they have won, but they are only that much closer to defeat.”Still, the battle with the Toa had wounded him—he would need time to heal before he could properly take revenge. He turned to a small Bohrok nest and began contemplating its usefulness, and just as he raised an arm he heard a laugh come from behind him.“I thought you’d have a back-up plan,” someone said. “I grow more and more impressed, Makuta. But before you wake up those insects, I’d like to share a possible alternative with you.”Makuta spun around to see a figure hidden in the shadows, and he asked, “Who are you? How did you find this place?”“Don’t worry, Makuta, I’m on your side,” the stranger said. “We can both help each other achieve our goals…will you listen to what I have to say?”“…Speak,” Makuta said. “If what you say proves interesting, then I may not destroy you.” Review

Hello, BZPower! Ballom here, back on the MOCing scene after a fairly long hiatus! Today's special is a couple of MOCs that I built over the Christmas break using my recently-acquired Hero Factory sets. Basically, because Waspix and Scorpio were pretty bad sets, I made better scorpion and wasp versions. Although, admittedly, the scorpion is mostly HF, being based on Witch Doctor's parts, while the wasp has a lot more Bionicle elements. Also, the more astute or stalker-ish of you may realize that the pictures of these have been on my Maj for about a month now, but I kept forgetting to post the topic. Anyway, to the pictures! Wasp ^Link to Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Scorpion ^Link to Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 And yes, the wasp does have those awesome transparent wings first seen on Gorast, but alas, they almost completely vanished from the photos, although you can see them moderately clearly in the third image. Well, enjoy! ~B~

Time for yet another Hero Factory topic! This time, we have "Blood Raven" and "Black Thorne", two Villains that come from a surprisingly odd place: Hero Factory. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo12/Willkramer1996/BloodRaven1.jpg Blood Raven Originally a member of the same squad as Archangel, hence the Code-name, Blood Raven soon grew tired with the way Hero Factory dealt with it's Villains. While Archangel was content to simply lock Villains in cages until they eventually broke out, Blood Raven was more in favor of the "execution by blade" approach, something that was generally frowed upon by his superiors. One day he finally snapped, disabled the trackers Hero Factory had installed in his armour after a demotion for insuborination and left the Factory with a group of like-minded individuals, and so the Anti-Heroes were born. Versed in hand-to-hand combat, his fighting style led his superiors to say they "should have seen it coming" when they found out he was rogue. Still, he hadn't completely abandoned Hero Factory weapons, and has modified the blaster they had issued him to become a lethal side-arm. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo12/Willkramer1996/BloodRaven2.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo12/Willkramer1996/BloodRaven3.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo12/Willkramer1996/BlackThorne1.jpg Black Thorne Formerly a member of the same unit Archangel and Blood Raven descended from, it was due in no small part to him that Blood Raven decided to go rogue in the first place, and relishes that fact every day. It was after a particularly nasty breakout that Thorne said it would be easier if they just killed any captured any dangerous criminals. After all, "Some people are too dangerous to keep alive," he had said, and that phrase soon became his mantra. Initially issued a pair of combat-tazers and taught to cripple rather than kill, he traded up to a lethal set of incredibly sharp stealth blades for assassination missions as soon as he was free of the Hero Factory's self-righteous attitudes. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo12/Willkramer1996/BlackThorne2.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo12/Willkramer1996/BlackThorne3.jpg

Here we are again, with yet another duo of mine, only this time instead of Toa, we have Hero Factory! The main problem I've been having with HF is that I've had some difficulty creating heroes with custom builds most likely due to a lack of creativity on my part, but still, I finally got over that and decided to make a few Heroes with parts left over from 2.0's and 3.0's that have already been upgraded to 3.0's and 4.0's, so without anymore stalling, I present "Archangel" and Thomas Trace. http://i357.photobuc.../Archangel1.jpg "Archangel" Originally a member of a special unit of Heroes, despite being issued a regular name, Archangel was also issued a Code-name he was to be addressed as to rookies and other Heroes until he felt he trusted them enough to be given his real name. Considering how, during his entire operational period he has never found one worthy of his real name, it's considered an honour to be able to address him as he truly is. Currently in a two-man squad with the rookie Thomas Trace, the special unit he descended from being long dissolved, he is a designated soldier with little regard for finesse or style when fighting villains. Versed in nearly every ranged weapon there is, Archangel prefers the brutal accuracy of the prototype Hero Factory Tri-Fire. A poweful assault-rifle with two modes, single fire and three-round burtst, it has many points for various upgrades to be placed, including an extended clip and bayonette. http://i357.photobuc.../Archangel2.jpg http://i357.photobuc.../Archangel3.jpg http://i357.photobuc.../Archangel4.jpg http://i357.photobuc...1996/Trace1.jpg Thomas Trace Once a high-ranking veteran Hero, Trace took a bad shot to the back of the head from pursuing Villains as he and his squad retreated after securing the cargo that they had been assigned to recover. The heavy damage from the Villain's weapon completely destroyed most of Trace's memory. Upon waking up, he had no idea who he was, but hard-wired into the remains of his memory was the skill-set he had before his unfortunate accident. Still, experience wise, he was still considered a rookie without his memories, and as a result, was heavily demoted, as well as assigned to a two-man squad with a Hero he probably wouldn't have even known about given his once high-status as Hero Factory's best Sniper. Unique in that he has an energied crossbow where a hand and a conventional sniper-rifle would be, Trace has proven that high-tech versions of low-tech weapons can surpass conventional weaponry in the hands of an amnesiac expert. Bladed for close-quarters combat, Trace is lethal at any range. http://i357.photobuc...1996/Trace2.jpg http://i357.photobuc...1996/Trace3.jpg ~...~ First attempt at unique heroes, lemme know how these turned out! Thanks in advance. Do not post images greater than 100 kB in BBC. -B6

Ever wondered what would happen if you cross two themes? No? Well this happens. I made this for "MOCathalon 2012" on MOCpages. A fun contest where every team member must build something that matches one of the thirty categories. I took the category "Will it blend" which means I had to combine two themes together.So I present"Atlantis Factory""We Build Divers" Bigger Image Shark Detail Ready to fire Trilobite (Credit to Railblade)Helmet detail Diver in al his glory Back Brickshelf Gallery (When public) MOCpages (for those who cannot wait) Enjoy and C&C appreciated

So I came back to messing around with my University Hero Factory Parts after I spent more time focusing on school and studying. I was mostly dissatisfied with what I had come up with before, so I guess the break away from the building helped refresh my creativity.In saying that, I absolutely LOVE this guy. I always wanted to create a Hammerhead Shark-type figure and this guy turned out better than I had ever hoped. He's my baby Anyway, here's Hammershawk - Front - Side - Top Detail - Swimming/Beached/Lazy - Sitting on the edge of a cliff while figuring out your problems in solitude - Aggressive Attack Pose - Happy Sunshine Strut - Crabby Friend - As I said, I love this guy, and I hope some of you can enjoy him as well Not sure what else to put here, so if you guys have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer. Talk to you later!

Hey guys, sorry I've been inactive recently, it's taking a while to settle into the new forum Anyway, the question I pose to you is: which HF set(s) would you recommend from the 4.0 wave? I kinda like Splitface, but what sets would you recommend 1) in terms of parts, and 2) in terms of set design? Budget is under $20 AU per set at the mo, so unless you have magical persuasion powers I probs won't get Black Phantom. On another note, I've been participating in the 2012 MOCathalon over on MOCpages (so far only managed to build one MOC >.<) and I'd love some ideas on what I could possibly build for the following categories: Darwin Awards Show someone unintentionally killing themselves in the most ironic way possible. The crazier the better but it must be grounded in reality, to a point. Houston, We Have a Problem These famous words must be illustrated through your creation. Not too many rules on this one, just make sure you can tie it in with the phrase. Ghost Hunters Build a MOC based on ghost hunting. This can be something like the ghost-hunters show, or Ghost Adventures. The focus must be on ghosts, no vampires, werewolves etc. Please, give me your opinions on stuff mentioned above. -FtC

Hi there. Long time since I posted a MOC topic. Anyway, these are some various LDD MOCs I built since as early as last summer. I have never made a MOC topic for them, but since they're older MOCs and happen to all be female (always an interesting challenge) I figured I'd post them together.All pictures and thumbnails link to the full-size image.First is the least attractive IMO, the villain MOC Angelique. It was mostly an experiment, and the end result looks neither very feminine nor very villainous. It also has a heavy reliance on Technic which frustrates me, since it detracts from the smooth aesthetic I was going for. The next, and the only of these I actually built in real life before building on LDD, is the Hero Sophia Blaze. She was built entirely using parts I had with me at college at the time (September of last year), but I think the end result is very feminine. The main flaw is that the waist looks somewhat gappy. My most recent Hero Factory MOC, built earlier this year, is an unnamed Civilian Waitress. She was the result of my dabbling in trying to create a civilian Hero Factory MOC and coming up with an armor combination that vaguely resembled a fancy dress. She is the only of these three that involves any parts in colors that they do not appear in in real life-- the bow on her back uses the Ninjago blade piece 98141 in Bright Red, while in real life it is only known to exist in Warm Gold, Silver Metallic, and Medium Lilac. I appreciate any and all comments or criticisms!

I don't really like the actual story for hero factory (Aimed at younger audience, so its not serius enough for me), so I decided to write an epic that still uses the core idea of Hero Factory (A factory that makes heros called hero factory), while making the story line more serious and more...epic. It takes place on the same planet as the normal hero factory storyline (Its called Quatros right...?), but instead of just making heroes that come to life when a core is implanted, the memories and mind of some of the biological inhabitants of the planet are implanted into the robot bodies. Without further introductory text, I give you: Trials of shadow ~1~ I woke with a start. Who am I? Where am I? Then I remember, I start to feel my memories returning. But something is not right, this is not me. Then the memory my mind was looking for comes to me, why I suddenly found myself as a ten-foot tall robot clad in silver armor. I was still in the factory; I don’t know where my real body is right now. Probably in some dumpster, or being turned into scrap metal. It doesn’t matter; I chose to leave that life behind, to become a hero. As I recount all my memories while watching other heroes being made, others who had made the same choice as me, a voice tells me to turn to a screen, which has suddenly appeared behind me. It tells me exactly what had happened, in case my memories were damaged during the transfer. It goes through the process; how I had arrived at the factory, how they had taken my memories and mind from my old body and put them in here. I ignored the rest that the screen told me, my memories were fine. I knew what this place was, why I was here, and what I needed to do. I walked into a long corridor, and left my old life behind forever. I proceeded down the long hallway, passing the rooms of many others who had found themselves here, just like me. They would soon realize who they were, and do as I was doing now. When I reached the end of the hall, a door opened up and a mechanical voice said “Please, enter”. Inside was a large paneled room. I had read about this place, there was a deathtrap waiting for me in every inch of this room. A different voice filled all of the room, and spoke to me.“Welcome to Hero Factory. You are very courageous to have given up your life to come to this place, to protect our world. In this room you will be tested, and ranked as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, or Delta. This will determine what squad you are assigned to. But first things first, what is your name?” I hesitated, almost forgetting my name for a second. But soon I answered: “Drake. Drake Novos.”“Good, now you must choose your weapons and armor, Novos. Please place any excess default armor in the disposal.” As the voice said it, four of the panels on the ground lifted up to reveal armor and weapon storage cells. I walked over; there were weapons and armor of all sorts. Large blasters, small blasters, swords, shields, bows, cannons that would fit an entire arm; you name it, it was probably there. I picked out an energy sword and a shield, and then moved on to look at the seemingly endless rows of armor. After a few minutes, a picked out some decent armor in gold and red, and placed my old basic silver armor in the disposal area, where it was destroyed so that it could be used to make other things. Once I was finished, the voice continued.“Now the training will begin. In a moment, you will be faced in every danger you could ever imagine. The training will stop when you have completed all the trials, or when you come too near to death.”With that I heard things in the room shifting, and knew that it was about to begin. This was the beginning of my life as a hero, and I would look back at this moment many times later. Look back in remorse, wishing this day would never have happened. ~1~ Review topic: http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=2859

So, what do y'all think of said TV series? Bleh, sub-par, the most amazing thing since sliced cheese? Where you think there is room for improvement? Could the characters be brought out better? Could the story go in more depth? What are your expectations for said series in the future? Who do you want to see more of? Should they bring old villains back? Should they bring back that weird plot thread with Von Nebula's staff, that "can anything that evil really be contained scene"? Do you think that this has anything to do with Breakout? Do you think it would be cool if it did?What do you think of all these random questions?

So, if you ask pretty much any member on BZPower or other LEGO networks, chances are they will have at least one prototype piece. Now that BIONICLE has been over for a couple years now, I still have yet to see a Hero Factory prototype piece. I haven't found one in searches or discussions, and am wondering why there aren't any floating around in the world.Surely LEGO still uses prototypes to design new pieces in themes, especially in ones like Hery Factory. If that's the case, where do they go afterwards?If anybody has seen one, has one, knows about one, or anything, I'd be glad to hear about it, and I'm sure others would as well. -
I had, for a while, built Hero Factory combiner sets with instructions from the Hero Factory website. I built set combiners 2182+2191 (which will be called Bird Dog) and 2143+2145 (who, for convenience, will be called Lion King). Bird Dog picture is linked, but I don't have an individual picture of Lion King. Anybody else built official Hero Factory combiners?-Tomdroidser

Right, my brother got the new Rocka today and I think he's epic. But, flicking through the instructions I found a surprise: in the advert for the core code gamey points thingamajig, there were pictures of a HF game, so similar to Breakout, yet so different.EDIT: Picture now!This game looked interesting. It had pictures of Stormer 2.0 battling minions in a volcano, a green factory and a winter wonderland.The enemies all looked like something I've seen in a leaked picture of the summer I will not name, and there was a powerup bar at the bottom.Intriguing.I think this is a prototype for a second Breakout game, where you can unlock different variations of Heroes (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, Breakout etc.)Reasons it might be what I just said: [*]Black Phantom escapes in the current Breakout game and you don't catch him[*]Breakout is expected to continue through summer[*]It's on the back of Rocka's bag and in the instructions, keep in mind this is a month after the current game was releasedLet's be hoping these aren't prototypes for the current game.What do you think?
