xxlrocka Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 That picture makes Jet Rocka look like Black Phantom with some wings slapped on. Quote
Dorek Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 It reminds me of some of those older Power Rangers episodes, where the red ranger inevitably gets some awesome battle armor that allows him to fly. For the record, I dig it. Quote
Vinyl Scratch Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Huh, I just noticed Jet Rocka is literally Rocka with a giant jetpack. ... Which means that other heroes are possibly compatible with it, all is good. But... Rocka was seen with the rest of the Heroes in the trailer, does this mean that there'll possibly be a second batch of alien brains getting unleashed? Maybe Rocka has to fend them off before they land. :/ Quote
Zachattacx Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I had to say it...Frost Beast is Pyrox's polar opposite . Jet Rocka is just Rocka with a humongous jetpack which looks compatible...sadly it looks like a black Buzz Lightyear suit. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but.....Surge is awesome,It looks like it confirms the yellow visor. Evo is pretty cool. Dragon Bolt/Aquagon? Well it looks like a dragon...a very lanky dragon. Quote
LuckyShot777 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Well from what I can make out here it looks like Dragon Bolt is going for the chinese dragon route in looks, Surge looks pretty promising, Jet Rocka looks like an interesting set, and those god forsaken bottles are blocking what's probably Aquagon's pic XD Quote
Kalhiki Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Jet Rocka looks... Good, I suppose. Still, I don't know if I'll get him. Seems kinda pointless to have two Rockas. If it were up to me, either have a different character for the jetpack, or replace Rocka in the first wave with either Stringer or Nex. Other ones look good from what I can see. Need clearer pics, though. Kalhiki Quote
exxtrooper Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 All I have to say about Jet Rocka is the bigger the better, I personally want bigger sets with vehicles and such. Quote
Dorek Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Oh yeah, Brain Attack is in the apple app store. Actually a pretty fun game; lot of humor in it (I just got run over by a train, for instance) which makes for a nice change of pace. Quote
r4-g9 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 maybe it's nex in the set instead of rocka? also shouldn't there be a large villain to go with the jet set? Quote
Jetrax99 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 maybe it's nex in the set instead of rocka? also shouldn't there be a large villain to go with the jet set? No, it's definitely Rocka. And yes, there shoud be a large villain to accompany that set. Quote
Zachattacx Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) You know I think Rocka has his hands full with hordes,and I mean hordes of brain slugs coming to Makuhero City. Like Jet Rocka is supposed to go into space to destroy thousands of canisters full of brain slugs as shown in the trailer.

LuckyShot777 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 No, it's definitely Rocka. And yes, there shoud be a large villain to accompany that set. Well I personally think this line may continue on into 2014. You have to admit that Hero Factory is going into some kind of finale here :P Next year (2014 of course) we will probably be getting some kind of final round of sets including the mastermind behind this whole brain factory. Hero Factory has been around for 2 1/2 years now going onto 3. I don't really know for sure, but i think it may be coming to an end in 2014. Just my thought though. Quote
Jetrax99 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Why is everyone so certain HF will end next year? We don't know that for sure. On youtube, bzp, and on here, I see people talking like HF is coming to an end. I highly doubt it will end as quickly as normal system sets. I feel it may carry on for a few more years. People say Chima may replace it but Chima could be the same as Superheroes, only 6 ultrabiluds. People need to stop looking at HF like it's ending. Personally, it's just started getting good. Why would LEGO stop now? Quote

Why would LEGO stop now? I do agree that it's getting good now, but I think that Lego may sadly put a sudden halt to it. It's really awkward seeing these sets go down a little bit every year. Like how in 2011 we got 22 sets, in 2012 we got 18 sets, and now in 2013 we're getting 15 sets. Plus even though it's getting better, Lego is focusing much more attention to other lines like Ninjago, Star Wars, and Legends of Chima. Hero Factory is just not as popular to the kid demographic in the eyes of Lego (which they evidently focus on pleasing the most). Quote
_shaddow_ Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Oh yeah, Brain Attack is in the apple app store. Actually a pretty fun game; lot of humor in it (I just got run over by a train, for instance) which makes for a nice change of pace. My version can't seem to work for whatever reason. Once the level is loaded, the screen stays on "Wave 1" and my hero can't move. Seems like I'm not the only one to have this problem. Do you play the game on Ipad ? Quote
Dorek Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 The joystick (bottom left corner) is a little specific sometimes, but reload the app if you still can't get it to work. Quote
Cahillrebel Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Hey guys I have been wondering. This is a stupid and probably useless idea but have you noticed that Lego has been keeping Breez and Nex away from each other in waves after the Savage Planet episode where Nex said he likes her before he fail off that tree branch? Breakout is not an exception because Breez was planned for wave 1 and new was wave 2. Quote

Cahillrebel Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Indeed. Don't know why they would do that. They tried that with Surge and Breez a bit in the first episode. Guess they thought it would not work. Quote
Vinyl Scratch Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Being honest I uh... Kind of like the Nex x Breez shipping. :U But after Breakout, seeing the entire Alpha 1 Team together for the first time, makes me miss Stringer and Nex from the Brain Attack wave. They're one of my favourite heroes. ... Actually, with the whole Stringer-missing thing in one of the books, could it be a storyline reason of why Stringer is missing? Quote
DarkSurgeXL Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 After looking at a screenshot, I realise that Evo is going to be the only scout set of summer wave. Quote
Devorath Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 After looking at a screenshot, I realise that Evo is going to be the only scout set of summer wave. My wallet is crying. Quote
Aethersprite Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) My wallet is crying. Well. The winter wave is really disappointing, Furno XL is the only one that catches my eye. And maybe Pyrox. The summer wave, on the other hand, looks really great. Might be the first time I get all the sets of the wave. Anyway, I zoomed all the way in and Surge's sword looks to be a trans yellow recolour of Pyrox's weapon. Also unfortunately Jet Rocka's wings look like the half shield pieces, just like Surge. EDIT: Take note of Dragon Bolt's wings, I'm assuming the Razar and Eris constraction sets will follow a similar design. Edited January 2, 2013 by Lockon Stratos Quote
Shakar Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) We haven't seen Aquagon yet, that could be a small set. I just realized Frost Beast's left hand uses a white Savage Planet paw and tr. light/medium (?) blue SP claws with clips. Basically, Core Hunter's shoulders and back armouring. Ice!Pyrox indeed. As for Dragon Bolt's wings, they look kind of skeletal. But from a budget-constrained 13 Euro set, you kind of have to except it I guess. Edited January 2, 2013 by Shakar Quote

Why would LEGO stop now? People have been claiming Hero Factory is on its last legs since it began, using even the flimsiest evidence to justify that claim. I wouldn't take any of it too seriously. If it does end, I'll get over it, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence to suggest it's not sticking around. As for the whole Nex/Breez thing, let me just say that it's a ship I do not put much stock in. Breez was established in 2010 not to have any romantic interest in her teammates (in fact, she quite detests being a shipping magnet just by virtue of being a female Hero), and while romance is messy and prone to change, I have to say Nex's interest in her seems decidedly one-sided (let's not forget that he was already been established as a real flirt as early as his first appearance in Ordeal of Fire, in which you could see him flirting with Daniela Capricorn during the press conference).
