Invasion from Below: Hero Factory goes minifig-scale

A user on Eurobricks has seen small pictures of the HF 2014 sets and has graciously revealed LOTS of information. The final pictures have not yet been seen, but when they do, you'll see them here!

Read more to see what's happening...

Here's a general idea of what's going on:

  • The theme is "Invasion from Below."
  • Heroes are minifig-scale and are in mechs made of HF pieces.
  • All sets feature "four-legged bug minions."
  • All of the mechs are humanoid- except for Evo's, whose mech is a four-legged turret.
  • The mechs have large, translucent backpacks (except for Furno's) and have the Breakout Meteor Blasters (except for Stormer, who has an ice sword).
  • The villains are still in the normal size, though, so don't worry.
  • Speaking of villains...
  • Flyer Beast is a primarily black and yellow character with a bit of trans-yellow mixed in.
  • Jaw Beast is mainly purple with bits of medium azure sprinkled in.
  • Splitter Beast is red and black and, from what the user said, appears to have two heads.
  • The villain sets are a villain plus a minifig hero.
That's all we know so far, so stay tuned for pics!
