Hero Factory MOC: Barebone v.4

Today's blog entry takes a closer look at one of the stranger experimental heroes: Barebone v.4.
After the creation of Leggiere 2.0, many heroes like him known as "Ultralight" heroes were developed. About 30 are currently in existence. The Ultralights were designed for speed- their ability to run faster than normal Heroes was uncanny. Following their success, the Hero Factory R&D team wanted to be a little ambitious and develop a hero that was even lighter than the Ultralights. The result of months of design and experimentation was Barebone v.4.

Barebone has very minimal armor, which is a contributing factor to his low-density skeleton, but also a weakness. In a similar fashion to PowerSurge v.4, he has an extra Hero Core on his back, but it's not just an ordinary Hero Core. It's a HIGH POWERED Hero Core that has a power output of approximately one megawatt! Barebone's weapons are a pair of janbiya, a traditional Yemeni weapon.

Barebone v.4 is just one of 24 MOCs I've chosen to be in the HF Advent Calendar. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!
