Hero Factory MOC: I-Chaya 3.0

The final entry of the HF Advent Calendar is here! Presenting I-Chaya 3.0!

Remember Quadriflame, our four-armed hero? Well, I-Chaya takes it a step further! I-Chaya is the Factory's first and only six-armed hero! I-Chaya has the animal power of a sehlat, and is a very versatile hero. Like Quadriflame, his arms function independently. But unlike Quadriflame, each pair of arms hold different weapons.

The uppermost pair of weapons are a set of power drills. Below those are two flame swords, and on the lowermost pair are 2 whips.

You also may be asking about the silver claw pieces covering his core. Those are core protectors that shield his exposed core and prevent villains from hurting it.

FUN FACTS:

• The sehlat is a creature from Star Trek. Spock's pet sehlat was named I-Chaya, just like this hero!

I-Chaya 3.0 is just one of 24 MOCs that I've chosen to be in the HF Advent Calendar.
Stay tuned for the Christmas blog entry that I'm posting tomorrow morning!

1 day 'til Christmas!

Hero Factory MOC: Pithecus 3.0

Another 3.0 hero for today! This is Pithecus 3.0.

Pithecus has the animal power of the golden lion tamarin, and carries a pair of swords. Each sword has a different blade for different purposes, but he often uses them together. Pithecus also has the ability to turn into 3 other forms.

The first form is Phytopithecus, who carries a sword and a vine whip.

The second form is Pyropithecus, who carries a sword and a flame weapon.

And finally, the third form is Hydropithecus, who carries a sword and a trident.

Pithecus 3.0 is just one of 24 MOCs I've chosen to be in the HF Advent Calendar. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!

6 days until Christmas!

Hero Factory MOC: Fregata 3.0

The blog entry for December 18,2012 features a rockin' 3.0 Hero known as Fregata 3.0.

Fregata 3.0 was dispatched for the post- Savage Planet missions that involved Aldous Witch's remaining creations, including the Quaza Snare (remember him?). 

Fregata is a brawler/air striker whose animal power is that of a magnificent frigatebird. His two claw weapons can be used for cutting, slashing, and even snatching and commandeering enemy weapons and items. The claws are serrated for a better slash and an easier grip when stealing things.

How, exactly, does Fregata snatch things? Well, to do that, he uses his claw weapon, and...

the long fibrous line attached to his back. It can work like a zipline when he attaches it to a post or other stationary object, or like a pendulum for a swinging attack.

FUN FACT:

• Fregata is the genus of all frigatebirds, including the magnificent frigatebird.

Fregata 3.0 is just one of 24 MOCs I've chosen to be in the HF Advent Calendar. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!

One week 'til Christmas!

Hero Factory MOC: Hookshot 3.0

For 12-14-12, we have prepared an awesome MOC by the name of Hookshot 3.0.

Hookshot has the animal power of a wolf, and is named for his signature weapon,

his hookshot. His hookshot allows him to grab an opponent's weapon, pull items towards him, and transport him to another close-by location. Hookshot's gun can be used for offensive purposes, but it does minimal damage and is non-lethal.  For attacks where he needs to do damage, he uses the dagger in his left hand. And no, those aren't Hero Cores on his shoulders. Those are just decorative.

FUN FACT:

• Hookshot is inspired by the hookshot from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Hookshot 3.0 is just one of 24 MOCs I've chosen to be in the HF Advent Calendar. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!

Hero Factory MOC: Quaza Snare

The blog entry for 12-13-12 features one of Aldous Witch's creations that managed to remain on Quatros after the Savage Planet missions. That creation is the Quaza Snare.

The Quaza Snare is a six-legged creature that lived on Quatros until a mission that occurred after the Savage Planet mission. The Snare was designed by Aldous Witch as a lure for Heroes so they would be trapped and drained of their energy.

The Snare has six Hero Core-esque appendages on the tips of its legs that are made of Quaza, but don't transfer energy. In fact, they ABSORB it.

One other feature of the Quaza Snare is...

its hideous face. It has a large, gaping mouth for entrapment, as well as compound eyes for added visibility. The Heroes who captured this villain underwent numerous training sessions for certification so they could fend off this behemoth.

FUN FACTS:

• The compound eyes were inspired by the Pokemon Genesect.
• The legs for this creature took inspiration from echinoderms, or starfish.
• The mouth is reminiscent of that of a ray or skate.

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

Hero Factory MOC: Mephitis 3.0

Today's post features a generic 3.0 Hero MOC by the name of Mephitis 3.0.

Mephitis 3.0's animal power is that of a skunk. In accordance with the animal power he chose, Mephitis chose weapons closely relating to his odorous power, for example...

...his noxious gas cannon. Not only is the gas odorous, but it is also toxic and even corrosive. The white nodes on his body also secrete this gas, which is why he has anti-corrosive armor near those nodes.

FUN FACT:

• Mephitis' name descends from the genus of the same name, one of three skunk genera.

Mephitis 3.0 is just one of 24 MOCs that I've chosen to be in the HF Advent Calendar. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!

Lego Hero Factory MOC: Helios 3.0

The latest rockin' hero to get the 3.0 treatment is Helios 3.0.

Role: Medic/frontline soldier
Weapons: Claws/plasma blasters
Animal power: Lion
Special ability: Able to generate more energy from the energy crystals around his body.
Catchphrase: "Bask in my glow, and you'll learn YOUR lesson!"

Helios was originally a 2.0 hero from Maximus Team (I will post pictures of the Maximus Team in a later post.)
This is what he looked like as a 2.0 hero.

Helios is hot tempered, and hot temperature!

Most people who see Helios often ask about the Hero Cores located around his body. They aren't Hero Cores, but, in fact, extra power sources made of 1% Quaza. The yellow crystals around his body serve the same purpose. If another Hero is low on energy in battle, Helios will hook up a special device that saps energy from part of those energy sources and gives it to the other hero's core. This does not affect Helios' energy level at all. But if Helios is injured in battle, his power sources amp his energy right up!

Helios also has 1 or 2 pieces of armor that is always quite unique: his sunspot armor. In 2.0 form, the armor is on his lower left arm, but in 3.0 form, he has two armor pieces on his lower legs.

Helios 3.0's  plasma blasters are on the front 2 claws on each hand. They shoot superhot plasma that reaches temperatures of up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. 


Helios is part of the makeshift Anti-Drone Junta that is being sent out quite soon.
That story can be followed at www.mission-drones.blogspot.com.


Interesting facts about Helios:

• He is named after Helios (aka Apollo,) the Greek god of the sun.
• Helios was originally intended to be a superheavy, but the Hero Cores suited him better as energy sources that he could use for his and others' energy, making him a medic.

Lego Hero Factory MOCs: Crimson and Grayscale 3.0

The first heroes to be upgraded to 3.0 status in Mission:Drones!  are  Johnny Crimson 3.0. and Megan Grayscale 3.0

Crimson 3.0
Role: Defense
Weapon: Triple claw
Animal power: White Rhino
Special ability: N/A.

Here is a picture of Crimson in 2.0 form.

Crimson is a rookie who was originally teamed with another hero, Megan Grayscale. (more on her later.)
His triple claw can be used as a defensive shield or an offensive blade weapon. His spiky upper arms allow for more defense.

And speaking of Megan Grayscale, here she is!

Grayscale 3.0
Role: Hard target specialist
Weapon: Double barrel electron shotgun
Animal power: Wolverine
Special ability: N/A

Grayscale may seem quite emotionless and neutral (like grayscale colors,) but wait until you tick her off, then see what happens! It's unknown what makes Grayscale and Crimson a great pair because of their opposite personalities.

Mission Manager Martinus Zibelia picked Crimson, along with Grayscale, to be on the team because of their amazing teamwork and perfect effort on the team.


More MOCs to come!

Lego Hero Factory MOC: Martinus Zibelia

My first Hero Factory MOC to be posted on this page is Mission Manager Martinus Zibelia from my blog, Mission: Drones!

Martinus Zibelia is the Mission Manager for the Hero Factory's Anti-Drone Junta, a team composed of 15 heroes (which will be shown later.)

Zibelia was originally selected to be the Mission Manager for Maximus Team ( a 2.0 Hero team from another story that will be shown later,) but he later moved to the Anti-Drone Junta because of his Mission Manager experience.

Zibelia is not very experienced in battle, but he has been known to outsmart and outwit villains and monsters. He also was the person who designed several of the ADJ's weapons and armor design.


Interesting facts about Martinus Zibelia:

• Despite the similarity of their names and appearances, Martinus Zibelia and Nathaniel Zib have never met.
• The name "Martinus" comes from botanist Martinus Beijerinck.

More MOCs to come!
