Kalhiki Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I'm all for turning Evo into a meme. It's pretty funny, anyway. XT4... buy multiples... Hopefully this is story significant meaning there's swarms of him. Maybe he's a drone of some kind (which would somewhat explain the name only being letters and numbers). Plus, the multiple arms and saw kind of invoke a building or repair robot if you think about it. If he is a drone, I'd imagine that the character is a malfunction and went nuts. Which would be kinda cool. Kalhiki Quote
vexorian Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) He does have a trans-chest, and I love it too; one of my favourite parts from Breakout wave 2. One piece, however, amazing as it is, isn't going to change my opinion on the entire line-up. It is enough for me to upgrade it from close second place to close first place. Savage being second. Break out 1 third and ordeal last. But that's a topic for another day. I really think XT4 and Core Hunter need more pictures. With Core Hunter, it is quite hard to really know what's exactly going on. XT4 looks so wrong in the video that I am assuming he will look much different in the final version. Front saying that we will need to buy multiples, seems to signal something. Edited February 6, 2012 by vexorian Quote
SpiderSpaceman Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I like the xt4 and the clearest pictures of any hero factory sets so far are the leaks. the video was a definite step backwards in being able to see a single thing. xt4's head has flopped sideways, and he's tied into a pretzel for pete's sake. we all know just what he looks like and now you're all "he looks like a smelly old pretzel" - well no. he looks like a fuzzy great bunch of pixels at low resolution, motion blurred, and worthless for speculating over.

For the most part, you're correct. However, the colors of certain parts were clarified by the videos and pictures we've seen. Before, Stringer's torso armor color had been totally up in the air, now it seems fairly likely that it will be some type of transparent blue. Additionally, the video from the London ToyFair suggests that Stormer XL will have a sword with a translucent blue blade rather than just a silver one like the Batman set has. Additionally, we've seen the Nex set a lot more clearly now, leading many people to form more informed opinions regarding how well or poorly his helmet and torso design work, and people have begun to warm up to Voltix, most of whose seemingly out-of-place colors turned out to be detail pieces like colored wires and lightning bolts on what's otherwise a pretty consistent three-color color scheme. I agree though that the pics we've seen aren't enough to really judge some of the sets all that well. That's part of why I haven't formed an opinion of XT4, who for me will be hard to judge until I can see exactly how he's built, and why I'm not ga-ga over Core Hunter, who we haven't been able to see in too great detail. Core Hunter's main assets, so far, are his bulky design, spiky details, and villainous-looking color scheme, but again he could put all these aspects together well or miss the mark entirely depending on how things turn out.

Omicron Squad Leader Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) xt4 is a "buy-multiple" set As I said before, XT4 looks like he/she has a very minimal amount of interesting parts. Unless that remark is storyline related, as others have speculated. I like the xt4 and the clearest pictures of any hero factory sets so far are the leaks. the video was a definite step backwards in being able to see a single thing. xt4's head has flopped sideways, and he's tied into a pretzel for pete's sake. we all know just what he looks like and now you're all "he looks like a smelly old pretzel" - well no. he looks like a fuzzy great bunch of pixels at low resolution, motion blurred, and worthless for speculating over. There are other images/videos from which you can get the gist of what he looks like, at least I have been able to. Also: Just pitching in. Edited February 6, 2012 by Omicron Squad Leader Quote
Darth Nihilus Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Since everyone seems to be trying to give Evo a meme, here's my contribution: Quote
Shakar Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Evo speaks without contractions in my headcanon from now on. Edited February 6, 2012 by Shakar Quote
Bfahome Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I don't see much that's particularly memetic about the Evo panel. The quote maybe, but the panel itself isn't much more exploitable than any other. If anything needs to become a meme it's "You're attacked by a Repair Nektann". Quote

vexorian Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Compare the two pictures. One works well even without text because of its Narm charm. The other however is barely funny with text. We are getting bored. We need more pictures of the upcoming wave. Even more, let's get some Chinese factory worker leak stuff from 2013 already. Edited February 6, 2012 by vexorian Quote

Not the panel. And about the Nektann; as humorous as it is, how would one use that in conversation? Kalhiki EDIT: I started a new page again. Weird... Edited February 6, 2012 by Kalhiki Quote

It'd lean more towards being one of those non-sequitur memes that just sort of pops up. Like if a character does something stupid and pointless it can be described in a way similar to the hilariously suicidal attacks by Nektann who can't actually hurt you. However it doesn't really matter how badly we want something to go memetic, trying to force it will probably just turn people away. buuut anyway this doesn't really pertain to the topic at hand, so… can't wait for Speeda Demon!!
