Mesonak Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Found finalized (or almost finalized) box art of Fangz, Raw-Jaw, Waspix, Scorpio, and Rocka XL here. -Mesonak Quote
averick Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Found finalized (or almost finalized) box art of Fangz, Raw-Jaw, Waspix, Scorpio, and Rocka XL here. -Mesonak Thanks for the update the box art looks amazing, I cant wait to get thease sets!!!!! So can any one tell me if the heads, or rather the helms of Fangz, Raw-Jaw, Waspix, Scorpio and witch doctor can fit on the 2.0 head, just like the heroes helms? I really think they can, but thet might just be wish-full thinking. Edited April 13, 2011 by averick Quote

Brickthing Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 The box images look nice, although it doesn't look like they're the final versions. It's a shame that the boxes of Raw-Jaw and Fangz are now upright instead of sideways, but I suppose that was to make them easier to display on shelves. I like the extra animals background detail on each "Rahi" box, but the flying/falling Fangz look very strange. I'm also quite shocked at the massive head piles on Rocka XL's box. Are we sure that Rocka XL is a good Hero, and not the one making these piles? Quote

Are we sure that Rocka XL is a good Hero, and not the one making these piles? Hah, that made me chuckle... No seriously, I think he is just fighting his way into the Witch Doctors cave, or if he is evil, than it would suck as the XL version is only ment to appear when the other heros are spent. Quote
Bfahome Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 So can any one tell me if the heads, or rather the helms of Fangz, Raw-Jaw, Waspix, Scorpio and witch doctor can fit on the 2.0 head, just like the heroes helms? I really think they can, but thet might just be wish-full thinking. I've said before that I doubt it, as the helmetfaces attach to the top of a flat armor piece. The hero heads have a sort of well in them, meaning that the pegs on the facehelmets probably won't be able to reach the holes. THe hero helmets should be able to attach to the armor pieces, though.

SpiderSpaceman Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) The hero helmets should be able to attach to the armor pieces, though. Are they backless? I hadn't thought about it but I've never seen the back view Also, holy smokes - raw-jaw was my fave when i thought he was just a warthog (and terrific red parts pack), but he's a tree swinging warthog-ape hybrid... I think I'm gonna be getting about 3 of him Edited April 13, 2011 by SpiderSpaceman Quote
vexorian Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I'll get three of them if the exo-force arms are in the new silver. It could be that Rocka XL is the result of Witch doctor possessing Rocka or something like that. I am underwhelmed about Rocka's legs. I think HF designers should have kept the bionicle design on the legs for a couple of years until there are better HF molds and designs that work with legs. But right now, Rocka's legs are a small improvement over Fire Lord's but still look funny. Quote
Delta 38 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 These sets look better and better with each wave. I haven't got any space left in my budget for them, unfortunately. The villains look quite nice. Unlike the earlier years of Bionicle, they're all completely different from each other. Quote
r4-g9 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 i have found a picture on lego.com that shows the hero recon team with way more colors: perhaps coming in a future update? Quote
Aanchir Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 i have found a picture on lego.com that shows the hero recon team with way more colors: perhaps coming in a future update? That's just the background to the recent Hero Recon Team flash animation on the main page. I doubt it's anything to expect in the future, since it offers ridiculous colors for that particular part, and none of the colors the part actually comes in. It's more likely an image of an unfinished version of the application that never ended up online-- in fact, it could very easily be from a mock-up of the overall interface that was never even functional, instead just showing off the variety of options the interface could offer.

Brickthing Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 i have found a picture on lego.com that shows the hero recon team with way more colors: perhaps coming in a future update? The tutorial shows pieces in other colours as well. If HeroRecon is successful I'd think that future waves will have their associated new pieces added, but I don't think that your image or the tutorial is meant to suggest which new pieces will be added.

Aethersprite Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I must say, although I'm disappointed the boxarts are no longer horizontal, but Raw-Jaw looks VERY imposing from the front. Awesome, definitely getting him. Quote
Jouster Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 It seems that the movie section of the HF site has been updated. A new section has been added (character section) and it has movies of all the OoF characters. On Furno's character video you can see a scene from an upcoming (I suppose) OoF episode. In it there are the 2.0 version of Stringer and Bulk...I mean..Really??! I hope we will get them as SE sets.There is also a Hero Recon team video. Merrick Fortis is in it. For Furno's character video click here For Hero Recon team video click here Quote

Look at Stringer's orange armour and Bulk's leg armour. Quote
Aanchir Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Nice! But really, they're just the 3.0 versions with 2.0 heads, minus the accessories. Look at Stringer's orange armour and Bulk's leg armour. ...Which leads me personally to believe it may be a scene from a summer episode, prior to the 3.0 upgrade. It makes sense, since it'd be a bit weird to have Stringer and Bulk upgraded straight from 1.0 to 3.0. Love that they went to the trouble of giving them 2.0 name badges, even if they didn't go so far as to give them helmet accessories like the other 2.0 heroes. Quote
The Crazy One Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 http://www.probionicle.ru/ Hero factory 2012 names. Again, not sure if confirmed but one apparently is purple. Big News 2201 - Stormer 4.0 2202 - Surge 4.0 2203 - Stringer 4.0 2204 - Rocka 4.0 2205 - Konnor 4.0 2206 - Evo 4.0 Just read this. I hope that Konnor is female and purple because that would be amazing. Shame no Bulk or Breeze but no complaints about Furno. Oh yeah, do we know that Rocka is male know after all that discussion a couple of weeks back? Quote

Oh yeah, do we know that Rocka is male know after all that discussion a couple of weeks back? No idea whether Rocka is male. I don't think there's any confirmation. But as for the post you replied to, note that the news article it concerns was posted on April Fools Day. Ergo, it's bunk. No matter what the situation, there's never any reason we'd know the Hero Factory 2012 set names before any other 2012 LEGO set names have been leaked. Especially when the site's news article claims the names are sourced from Amazon.de, a claim not supported by any other sources. Quote

Jagersmann Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Hey, HF is workin' on really good things. I took the freedom to build WITCH DOCTOR in LDD, I know, they are only a few pieces missing, yes the new pieces (face, spikes, blades, etc). But let me know what you think about it. Yes... I was really hard and fun to build this. My link Quote

I was really hard and fun to build this. My link That's very impressive! How well does LDD handle articulating the structures though, particularly the legs? I saw that you've also built the Fire Villains. You should consider adding these to the LDD Forum, where they're building an index of all the sets. Quote
Jagersmann Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Bricting, you can only move the knees, feet and legs but only in one direction, same for arms. Thanks! Quote

Jagersmann Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Oh sorry! I think I didn't read your properly... What a surprise, Furno is not going to be in 2012, looks like Stormer is gonna be the main hero, or "Konnor", man what's happening with the names? Quote
