Hero Factory MOC: Mr.μ

For today's blog entry, we present to you a recently captured villain, one by the name of Mr.μ.

Mr.μ is a VERY small assassin and mercenary work, doing contract work for bigger villains. Mr.μ's compact frame allows him to sneak into the tiniest of places. Equipped with a light-sword and a mini-scythe, Mr.μ packs a bigger wallop than you'd expect, especially when he builds up energy and becomes...

Mr.μ Supercharged. When his energy levels reach a very high amount, he turns red and his weapons increase in size until they are completely disproportional to him. His light-sword becomes a bladed behemoth,  and his mini-scythe's blade grows larger and sharper.

Long story short, Mr.μ is not someone to provoke. You've been warned.

FUN FACTS:

• μ (also known as mu) is the medical symbol for the prefix "micro". The name fits!

Mr.μ 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: Equus Supports

Today's blog entry features the Equus Support.

Most Hero Factory transports are vehicles, like Furno's bike and the famed Drop Ships. But recently, in favor of more "old style" transports, the Equus Support was created.

Equus Supports are small, horse-like drones that are lightweight and use a lot of energy. Their energy usage is so large that they have to use their own Hero Core.

After the first Equus' deployment, the Equus was met with mild success, although there were complaints that the Equus was too lightly armored, so in response, the Hero Factory built...

the Equus Support v.A, which was designed for missions where more defense and power were needed. While still maintaining the same lightweight armature, the Equus v.A was drastically heavier in comparison to its earlier counterpart, and had not one, but three Hero Cores!

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

Hero Factory MOC: Dromaeus 2.0

The blog entry for December 4, 2012 is the strange Dromaeus 2.0.

Dromaeus was just an ordinary hero until he became the testbed for a new experimental weapon, and that weapon was...

...his left foot.

Yes, that's right. His left foot is his primary weapon. How does he use it, you ask? Well, in a prehistoric fashion, Dromaeus will pin the opponent down with his daggers, and then use his foot for a ballistic melee attack.

FUN FACTS:

• Dromaeus' name and fighting style are inspired by the Eodromaeus dinosaurs.

Dromaeus 2.0 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: PowerSurge v.4

The MOC entry for December 3, 2012 is PowerSurge v.4.

There actually IS a bit of backstory behind this MOC.

During the "Doom Box" missions, Bulk was experiencing some hardships while fending off Core Hunter, so another hero was dispatched, and that hero just so happened to be PowerSurge.

For this mission, PowerSurge was equipped with super-heavy armor crafted from an alloy consisting of osmium and tungsten, two of the densest elements known to man. In his right hand, he carries an energy blade, and in his left, he carries a grenade-launching cannon (no, that is NOT a Quaza spike, but rather an antenna.) As a defense mechanism, PowerSurge is also outfitted with...

a second Hero Core.

The tubes on his back serve no purpose other than transferring energy between the two Cores and the weapons he carries.

FUN FACTS:

• PowerSurge and Surge are not related at all.

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

Hero Factory MOC: Black Ice

Kicking off December is a Breakout-era MOC, the brutal Black Ice!

Black Ice is a member of a species similar to what we would call "the Yeti." He lived on an icy asteroid in the same region as Sigma Sigma, the asteroid on which Splitface lives. Unlike the other members of his species, Black Ice was the only super-intelligent one (he could speak). The elders of his species banished him from their village, causing Black Ice to go into a depressing anger. The Hero Factory tried to intervene, but that made him angrier, and he then swore revenge on the Hero Factory!

Black Ice finally exploded in anger and went on a violent rampage, and in a similar fashion to Aldous Witch, made a distress call. Hero Factory's Target Depreciation Squad (the equivalent of Animal Control or the SWAT team) came into action. Black Ice was immediately reprimanded and sent into the Factory's high-security prisons.


As a MOC, Black Ice is very simple. He doesn't carry any weapons (except his ultra-sharp crystal claws), but if he did, he'd probably have some sort of rock staff.


And, yes, there is a Hero assigned to him, one by the name of Caldera.

Black Ice is one of the 24 MOCs that I've chosen for the HF Advent Calendar. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry!

Hero Factory Advent Calendar!

Hello fans!

I'm sorry for the lack of posts- I have other priorities to get to, but this is something to make up for it: the Hero Factory Advent Calendar!

A brief explanation:

Get ready for today's entry!

Hero Factory MOC: Fallen Sprite

Another MOC is here! This time, it's the haunting Fallen Sprite!

Who would have known that the cheerfully colorful Lucient Sprite could corrupt so easily?  Their glowing crystalline armor has now darkened and rottened to the point where the former Sprite is now hideous and purely evil.

As a MOC, the Fallen Sprite incorporates colors from the LEGO palette that most people would call "grim" or "haunting," for example, Earth Blue, the quintessential Black, Medium Lilac, Bright Reddish Violet, and, to give it a more "zombified" look, Transparent Brown.

More MOCs to come!

P.S. The "Fallen Sprite" is based on LEGOJANG's Lucient Sprite. View the original MOC at:
