MakutaDreadscythe Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Found a creenshot of Aquagon, blurry, but we can see his weapon a bit. He uses the new Sword piece in translucent blue with a spike hilt like Furno XL. Called it. Quote
LuckyShot777 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 His legs actually connect differently than the traditional way to, but they look a little on the short side :P Quote
Cahillrebel Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 They are the pieces they use for the heroes lower arms. For some reason, though, I like how they look. Gives the Aquagon more personality. Not every set has to be tall. Some can be small. The picture of Dragon Bolt had the same lower arm piece anyway. Quote
DraikNova Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Wow. If Dragon Bolt uses a hero foot as a lower jaw, that'd be a serious NPU from LEGO. Quote
Bfahome Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Granted, I greatly prefer the Piraka foot in many applications (more versatile shape and connection points), but I couldn't help but notice that those big feet on that small torso have to be spread out a bit to look good (in the "test render", the inner toes of his rear feet are even occupying the same space). Well in the test render, he's just kind of standing there in a generic joints-at-90°-angles pose. Any kind of dynamic pose will most likely end up with his back feet further apart. Plus, if you have the four necessary pieces, it's a fairly easy mod to just extend the legs a bit more. Edited January 5, 2013 by Bfahome Quote
MakutaNocturn Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Where can we watch new episode? Edited January 5, 2013 by MakutaNocturn Quote
VBBN Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Rather unexciting news I guess since everyone is drooling over Dragon Bolt and such, but just thought I'd throw this out real quick that my order finally came in for Review for pyrox will come later today, bruizer tomorrow. Quote
Kalhiki Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Speaking of orders, mine came today as well. Sadly, Breez was somehow missing from the shipment. I ordered her, but she wasn't there. Luckily, Lego will send her and should come later in the week (hopefully). Anyway, my favorites are Pyrox for the villains, and Rocka for the Heroes. Kalhiki Quote

Cahillrebel Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Ok. I agree that it is a good idea for it to be the dragon's lower jaw. Quote
LuckyShot777 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I'm actually really looking forward to seeing these summer sets getting released. A;so does anybody else watch LegoJang's reviews on youtube? They're pretty informative and really go into good details of the figures :P Quote

Jetrax99 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I watch his vids as well, though I find it irritating that he's part of the BA Bulk haters group. Seriously, his name isn't relevent to his body size, it's relevant to his strengh. Also, he said "pistons" is slang for "biceps". Can you believe that guy? Obviously he doesn't know that pistons are present EVERYWHERE on a robot. Pistons can generate a lot of force regardless of size. Edited January 5, 2013 by Jetrax99 Quote

Yea I don't really know why so many people dislike the Brain Attack version of Bulk. He's pretty much my favorite out of the current four, but maybe that's because I'm a sucker for orange XD Quote
Zachattacx Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Turns out someone has released the Brain Attack theme on YT Search Hero Factory Brain Attack Commercial Theme on YT ,should be the first one,though only 47 seconds long. Quote
Kalhiki Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) About Bulk, I like the set, but I can see where people are coming from. It seems that his appearance should live up to his name. Name's Bulk, should be bulky. Just seems like common logic. @Zachattacx: Checked it. If we were watching the same vid, the song wasn't the one from the commercial. Well, not the TV episode trailer. It was for the trailer for the game. Looks like the one from the TV trailer is still a mystery. Kalhiki Edited January 6, 2013 by Kalhiki Quote
Nike2032 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) About Bulk, I like the set, but I can see where people are coming from. It seems that his appearance should live up to his name. Name's Bulk, should be bulky. Just seems like common logic. Kalhiki To be honest, thats not what bothers me about Bulk since it is kinda silly (IMO) to have your appearance based off your name. However, what I actually don't like about Bulk is that he is given a drill as his main weapon (the shield is fine as far as I'm concerned), just a small drill. I can appreciate that some people like the drill as a weapon and I can agree with that to some extent. But Bulk's weapon is a stand alone drill, no thought put into it as far as I see it. If he had a drill like Drilldozer's then I wouldn't have a problem with it and of course, thats the second problem, reuse of a weapon with not much attempt to make it different to the last time it was used (a good example of how a piece can be reused IMO is of Black Phantom's use of the mace pieces to Ogrum's use of the mace pieces). Obviously, this is just my opinion, but I imagine this is one of the viewpoints people hold to this wave's Bulk. Oh, and just a further note, apart from his drill, I think Bulk looks fine. Edit: Forgot to say. the way he holds the drill is kinda weird. I mean, you don't really just hold the tip of the drill and use it as a weapon. The drill itself is normally attached to some piece of other machinery. This seems like another lazy move by Lego (though I guess I can't complain since Brain Attack is such a good year for Hero Factory). Edited January 6, 2013 by Nike2032 Quote
Dorek Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Compared to the previous incarnation, where he is both bulky and a fantastic rendition with good homages to the original, it's not surprising that the new version is getting some hate. I'm pretty torn on which one to go for; I think I'll wait for some Breakout sales. Quote
Aethersprite Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 My main gripe with Bulk isn't that he isn't bulky - his build is fine - it's his helmet. I hate how it looks. It's probably the mouth that puts me off the most. I understand that Lego had to give him a face since his original relied on the Glatorian head to provide his face, but this one looks atrocious. Plus, it removes the mouth guard of his original helmet, which to me is what characterises his helmet the most. Breez's face is also creepy, but to a lesser extent. I'm so glad they didn't do this with Surge, and covered up his mouth instead. Quote
vexorian Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 My problem with Bulk is the Jonny Bravo / Bluto proportions. Quote
Nike2032 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Just out of curiosity, have we had any villain in Hero Factory with a axe like Strakk's in terms of size? Because I don't think we have enough of those. Edited January 6, 2013 by Nike2032 Quote
Cahillrebel Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 A villain with and axe would be amazing. Maybe for a jungle or fired themed one unless they released another ice one. Quote
Aethersprite Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 It just occurred to me - Surge is the only Hero this year (sans Jet Rocka) using a ranged weapon instead of a melee one. Nothing a MOC can't fix, though. Quote
Cahillrebel Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Well Furno did suit flames out of his sword in the extended trailer when he slammed it into the ground. Quote
