Mission 40: Velocity

Mission:

Velocity

Team:

Veteran Preston Stormer

Mission Manager:

Nathaniel Zib

Objective:

Find Speeda Demon, a villain who recently escaped from Hero Factory prison, and bring him back to Justice.

Stormer's Log:

After the initial shock of the Breakout all heroes had been sent out to capture the escaped villains.  Furno had taken down Jawblade, Breez had taken down Thornraxx and Evo had taken down Toxic Reapa. Those were just some of many victories but there were still villains out there like XT4, Splitface and Core Hunter who had been lucky to avoid capture by heroes.

Right now I was tracking down Speeda Demon who I was determined to not let get away. I had landed on Kollix 4 and was wasting no time in tracking him.
"Zib." I said into my communicator. "I'm picking up a contact nearby and it's moving fast. I assume it's Speeda Demon."
"He must be heading for the Navigation Beacon at the planet's North Pole." Zib replied. "You have to stop him. If he destroys it then Space Crafts nearby will be vulnerable to attack."
"And he can loot them all." I finished. "Speeda Demon's smart, I'll give him that."
I then went off to face down the fiend. I may not have a bike but my XL armour has special pistons in the legs allowing me to run fast than most other heroes. Ever since I received the upgrade to XL I had felt more powerful and stronger. I felt sorry for Rocka though. He couldn't keep the XL armour despite my protests. He had performed valiantly on Quatros and was worthy of it. However, Zib still wouldn't have it. Since Furno became a veteran I've changed a bit. I'm more softer on the rookies now and have gotten over my past with Von Ness.
I then ran into Speeda Demon and hit him with the flat of my blade. He fell off his bike and looked me dead in the eye.
"I was wondering when a hero would showed up." He said. "But I didn't think that I was worthy enough to gain the attention of Preston Stormer."
"You can stop right there Speeda Demon." I said. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
"You've already lost." He laughed. "I've taken down the defences and placed bombs all around the Navigation Beacon. All I have to do is press this button and the whole tower gets blown sky high."
"That's not going to happen." I said as I shot at him. The blast knocked him back and he dropped the detonator. He made an attempt to grab it but I knocked him aside and crushed it under my foot.
"NO!!!" He roared. "What have you done?"
"It's over Speeda Demon!" I said.
"I still have one explosive left." He replied while placing it on the ground and detonating it automatically. I was knock back by the explosion and faintly heard him driving away.
"Zib." I said into the communicator. "Speeda Demon got away but other than that it's mission complete."
I know I'll see Speeda Demon again and when I do I'll make him pay and bring him back to justice for his crimes.

Hero Factory: Breakout Episode Review

Hi,

Sorry that it's been so long since an update. I was going to abandon this blog and start a new one and I did start a new one but then saw it was a bit pointless. So I'm back on this blog and kind of took a break during March. But now onto the main topic of this post which is the episode review of Breakout which is an episode I loved. It was split into two episodes like Savage Planet was but I like this one better. I didn't completely understand why they changed Evo's character so much and even though I like this version better but it is just a bit confusing about why they did it. Anyway, the episode did have a big cliff hanger at the end and a lot more is revealed Rocka but I won't go into that and spoil it for you. Black Phantom was an okay  villain but I have to say I liked Voltix the best. His character was good and what I liked is that each villain had their own plans of destruction and weren't just rampaging around the galaxy creating pointless destruction. Voltix was creating a super weapon; Splitface was destroying a communications centres; Toxic Reapa was trying to build an army; Jawblade was collecting Oxidium to rust any hero in his way and Speeda Demon was going to crash ships into Kollix 4 and then loot them. Meanwhile Black Phantom was trying to destroy the Hero Factory. I'll give the episode rating of 10/10 but the change in Evo's character still bugs me. Please comment and follow,

Mission 39: Built to Last

Mission:

Built to Last

Team:

Veteran Duncan Bulk

Mission Manager:

Nathaniel Zib

Objective:

Find Core Hunter, a villain who recently escaped from Hero Factory prison, and bring him back to Justice.

Bulk's Log:

I was warned to be extremely careful on this mission. Core Hunter was a villain who knew nothing about the concept of "Mercy." He lived to rip out cores from every Hero. He was the only villain, other than Black Phantom, to remain in the Factory after the Breakout. This was in aims of collecting all the Hero cores possible. However, he eventually got away and left us with no trace of where he was going.

Now it was my job to track him down. I found him easily enough and readied my weapons. I'm not the type of hero who gives the villain a chance. I just hit them hard a fast. I launched two rockets and he was helpless to avoid them. I went down to greet him but when I got down there he was nowhere to be found.

"Do you think you could capture me that easily Hero?" His voice echoed but I couldn't see him. "You are sorely mistaken."

A blast then knocked me off my feet. "Core Hunter!" I called while getting up. If you wish to fight me then come out of the shadows." Seconds past without a reply. "I won't ask twice."

Another shot came from behind but I dodged it.

"Here I am." He said. "Just as you asked."

I charged at him and attempted to cuff the villain but he hit me aside. I shot at him but he dodged it and shot back. I was knocked to the floor by the explosion and he stood over me.

He prepared to remove my core while saying: "I'm afraid that this will hurt you a lot more than it will hurt me."

I grabbed his legs and twisted it. He let out a whelp of pain and punched him right in the face. He shot at me and I was knocked back.

He began to limp towards me but the pain seemed to be too much for him to bare.

"Oops." I said with a giggle. "Looks like I broke it."

"You'll be sorry you did!" He replied with rage in his voice. He shot the flour beneath me and I fell down. By the time I got back up he was gone.

"Coward." I muttered to myself as I walked back to my ship. Something told me that wasn't the last I had seen of him.

Mission 38: Born in Fire

Mission:

Born in Fire

Team:

Veteran Will Furno

Mission Manager:

Nathaniel Zib

Objective:

Find XT4, a villain who recently escaped from Hero Factory prison, and bring him back to justice.

Furno's Log:

The breakout had gone so fast that heroes had to face villains one-on-one to keep the galaxy safe. I'd already recaptured Jawblade and was now tasked with tracking down XT4. But for me it was out of the water and into the flames.

Mechna was XT4's home planet and a far cry from the tropical oceans I was in not so long ago. The planet itself was searing with heat and few could remain on this world long and XT4 was one of them. Those who live on this planet are specially built for the conditions and fortunately, so am I.

Many of those who witnessed my construction said that I was "Born of Fire", hence the name Furno.

I spotted XT4 in the distance and I readied my weapon. "Hey there." I shouted. "It's rude to run off without saying goodbye. Why don't you come calmly back to the Hero Factory with me now before anyone gets hurt."

The villain laughed. "Does anyone actually ever agree to do that?"

"I guess someone's going to get hurt." I said. "And that someone's going to be you."

XT4 opened fire on me but I dodged his laser beam. "Are you sure about that? It seems to me that your the one who's going to be hurt."

I shot at him and the explosion knocked him back. "Forget hurt!" He exploded. "Your going to dead!"

I shot at him again but he was ready this time. He dodged the blast and swung his saw at me. My armour was damaged but I was still in one piece. XT4 then drove his two blades into my shoulders and lifted me up until we were face-to-face. I was in overwhelming agony but I was not going to give up just yet.

"I'm going to dismantle you piece-by-piece." He ranted. "Circuit-by-circuit. When I'm finished, no-one will be able to recognise you."

I placed my plasma gun to his chest and he realised to late. I pulled the trigger and he flew back. I tried to follow it up with another shot but fell to the ground, the pain was to much for me and I knew I was going to end up on the scrapheap if I didn't think of something fast.

I looked around as the villain got up. I saw a Container filled with spare parts directly above my advisory. I shot at it and it fell on top of XT4. I waited 1, 2, 3 minutes and XT4 didn't get up. However, when I lifted the container up XT4 was under there.

I limped back towards my hero craft knowing that I had failed the mission and was lucky to escape from this one alive. Dividing the heroes was a bad idea and I know that now. United we are stand but divided we fall.

2012 Villain Review: Jawblade

Hi,

My brother got Jawblade when I got Black Phantom and now I'm here to review him. I'm afraid that there's no opinion from him this time. I have decided to remove the my brothers opinions from the review however if you would like the leave a comment bellow saying that you want it back then I will do so if it is wanted by enough people. But now onto the review...

The build is unique in that it is not humanoid and I have never built a Hero Factory set like it. The head was interesting to build but being a set of its size there isn't too much to it. I'll give it a 9/10

There didn't seem to be a lot of new pieces in this set. The only one is the head which is great. The fin works well and the textures are awesome. A recoloured piece is the original Furno's weapons from 2010. This time the flame on the end is in a solid red colour which is cool and fits Jawblade's colour scheme. There are a few other recolours too so this set is still good for those who buil MoCs. I'll give the new pieces a 6/10

The design is great and like the build it's very unique. The red and silver go well but the main part of the design is the shape of him. It is great how they modelled him after a shark but still gave him extra parts as well. The fin on the end was a great use of older pieces and the fact that the mouth can open and close is just a great touch. The design gets a 9/10

The playability was decent. The mouth feature was great and I think it is more fun for younger ones to play with than some other sets. The playability gets an 8/10

The overall model is great. Jawblade is defiantly an interesting set and I would recommend him. The colours flow well and I just have to give him a 9/10

I hope you liked my review of Jawblade and I also hope you'll comment bellow and follow the blog if you enjoy what I've posted here. Until the next time,

matanui,

Mission 37: Face Off

Mission:

Face Off

Team:

Veteran Mark Surge

Mission Manager:

Nathaniel Zib

Objective:

Find Splitface, a villain who recently escaped from Hero Factory prison, and bring him back to justice.

Surge's log:

Our spies report that Splitface was heading towards the communications satellite in the Sigma Sigma System. And I was the one who had to go catch him and cuff him. Not that I'm complaining. I hadn't got any action since the Breakout happened. I'd either been in the infirmary or training. Both are boring. But now it's time for some real action.

I walked across one of the asteroids and could see the satellite in the distance. I powered up the short range teleporter placed on this space rock. They were used for easy travel between asteroids in the system. The teleporter activated and light  surrounded me in an instant they began to dim and I saw the satellite in front of me. I walked around, looking inside and behind crates.

"Nothing yet Zib." I said through the communicator. "Are you sure he's here."

"He should be somewhere nearby." Zib replied. "Do you see any workers."

"Negative." I said after another look round. "Not a soul in sight."

I heard a banging sound in side one of the containers. I walked closer and opened it. I readied my weapon just in case but it was unnecessary. A group of workers poured out.

"Cancel that Zib." I said through the communicator. "I've found the workers."

"A Hero!" One of the workers cheered. "We're saved!"

"Not yet." I replied. "Where's Splitface."

"He went to the control room." Another one said. "We don't know why."

"What's he up to?" I thought to myself.

I entered the control room but Splitface wasn't there. I took the opportunity to check the cameras to see if Splitface was still here. I didn't understand what he was up to. I found him except he wasn't on the station. He was on one of the asteroids. I headed for the teleporter. It was time to end this.

The light faded and I was on the same space rock that Splitface was.

"Ah." He said. "Come to watch from a safe distance have we?"

"Watch what?" I asked.

"Didn't you notice." He said. "I turned up the gravity controls to maximum. I a minute, the station will be crushed by the asteroids." One of them hit the satellite and damaged the dish. "It's starting."

"Then I'll end it." I said as I ran for the teleporter but it was too late. Splitface shot it with his blaster and rendered it useless.

"Your not going anywhere." He said.

"So be it." I said while readying my weapons. He was going down.

I charged at him and swung my blade at him. He blocked it with his claw and then pushed me back. He shot again but I dodged and used the explosion behind me to propel me forward and hit him full felt with my blade. A burst of electricity went through him as he fell back and impacted against the hard ground of this rock.

I looked behind me, more asteroids where hitting the satellite. This fight was a mere distraction. By the time it's over the satellite will be rouble. I ran and jumped from rock to rock. Propelling my self with my blasters shots.

I reached the satellite and ran for the control room. Everything shook with each impact. I got to the control room and turned down the gravity controls. There were no more impacts for a while. It was all clear.

However, Splitface still got away. As I climbed into my ship I looked at all the damage Splitface caused. Workers were all ready busy fixing it but I made a vow to find Splitface and bring him to justice for his crimes one day.

2012 Summer Sets Thoughts

Hi,

Due to the 2012 New York Toy Fair we have been getting pics of the summer 2012 sets and they look quite cool. There aren't many sets but for what we have there are some pretty good ones in there.

Stringer has been the one causing quite a fuss with his new blue colour scheme but I like it and it goes with the black well in my opinion. He is one of the smallest sets along with Nex and XT4. Nex is good and I like the mix of orange and white which we've seen before on him but I'm not completely for the gum-metal in there too. It looks good with white and it looks good with orange but when they're together it just doesn't work to well for me. I would prefer silver but I guess it's all right. XT4 seems to be getting a lot of hate but I for one quite like him. I think if he didn't have the light grey skeletal pieces then he'd be one of the best ones out there but with them he's decent enough.

Now for the medium ones: Bulk, Voltix and Core Hunter. Bulk is actually quite cool. The metallic colours work well together and the orange is a nice accent colour which isn't over used. He is very bulky which is what he should be and I can't really find much wrong with him. His shoulder weapon looks great and I can't wait to see what it can do story wise. Voltix is good but does seem to be a mix match of colours. I don't mind the reuse of Black Phantoms helmet as it works well on him and the attachments are different. I like the opportunity to get purple but I think without it this set would be really epic but I think with it it's held back a bit. Core Hunter is the last one and he is great. He has to be one of the best and his colour scheme is just beast. He's very bulked up and spiky too. An amazingly awesome figure is what I see with Core Hunter.

The two big ones of these are sure to be battling it out. We've got Stormer XL and Speeda Demon. Stormer XL is looking the part and seems to have a different styled build than Rocka XL, Black Pahntom and Fire Lord. He still has his original colours and helmet which is cool and the upper body looks especially bulky in design and I can't wait to see how he's built behind the shell of armour that covers him. Speeda Demon is awesome and I already have a story planed for him an it will span across eight missions so look out for that after Mission for the Pros is over.   But first onto the set of Speeda Demon. He is an average villain in size with four arms. He has a lime-green and gold colour scheme but the main attraction is his bike which is purple and black and has some yellow electricity coming off it which is great. He may be my favourite set and I can't wait to get him.

That was my thoughts on the 2012 summer sets and expect a new part of Mission for the Pros next and we are reaching the final part of this story but there is another one coming which I hope you will enjoy and it still links in with the breakout theme of season two. Please comment and follow,
