Hero Factory MOC: Greasegunner v.4

The newest Hero Factory MOC is a Breakout hero, namely Greasegunner v.4.

There is really no backstory for him; he was just created to use a special Hero Factory weapon modeled on a M3 "grease gun" submachine gun.

His left hand is a claw, which may suggest villainy, but it was just put there for an "accent" on the character. It could also be a power glove of some sort.

Well, that's Greasegunner for you! More MOCs to come as always!

HF 2013 speculation

It's September, so we should expect to see some pictures of the winter 2013 Hero Factory sets.
My first bit of info comes from IMDB, who claims that the next two episodes of Hero Factory's TV series are called "Von Nebula Rises" and "Anti-Hero Factory." My second tidbit comes from Eurobricks, where someone described the sets as appearing to have brain-like objects on the top of their heads. They also will come in the bags we saw with Breakout again.

In other news that may excite HF fans, Ninjago's replacement is apparently called "The Legend of Chima," which has been described as similar to Avatar but with humanoid animals, flywheels, and "Hero Factory-ish" figures.

Prelims should be coming soon, but I will not be showing them on this blog.
More MOCs are coming, just working on some for now.

A look at what's coming in Summer 2012

I realize that I haven't posted for a while (my last post was on May 24), and no, I'm not dead, Black Phantom hasn't kidnapped me, and I most DEFINITELY have not quit Lego, so I am definitely going to post a TON of more MOCs throughout the summer. Here's a preview of what's coming.

• Alternate combiner models of the summer sets.
• More Breakout MOCs.
• You know how LEGOJANG said in his video for the Witch Doctor Drones, "the battle for Quatros still rages on?" Well it does now, as told by us at StoneHart.
• More Sempax videos, including one done by my self-MOC.
• More generic MOCs
• And something involving the post I made about Leggiere 2.0.

Stay tuned!

Here is a short HD video detailing pictures of the 2012 summer sets, courtesy of www.brickset.com.

And remember, you saw them HERE first, not on Jang's blog, Eurobricks, or anywhere else! (For the record, I am not trying to compete with those people in any way.)

More MOCs to come... I have a whole Breakout storyline with maybe 6-12 characters in it to publish!

LEGO Hero Factory MOC: Leggiere 2.0

In the Hero Factory, engineers were trying to develop a new type of hero that is light, agile, and can do tasks that require optimum speed. The result was Hero Factory's first ultralight hero- Leggiere 2.0.

Leggiere has very little armor for maximum speed and agility. His core and skeleton are slightly compacted to also reduce weight. Third, his feet were also built with lightness in mind. Equipped with twin hooks, Leggiere is any slow-moving villain's worst nightmare.


Fun facts:

• The word "Leggiere" is the Italian word for skinny.
• Leggiere's design paved way for a series of Ultralight heroes in the 3.0 and even v.4 series. That series will be shown later. Currently, it will include about 20-30 different heroes.
• Even though he has a Breakout core, he is still a 2.0 hero.

More MOCs to come!
