So apparently Rocka is again referred to as Daniel in the Brain Attack credits.

Should maybe probably just make it official at this point, neh?

I guess...

[Jetrax99]

So given that the episode (film) for next year is already in the works, I hope the concept of Furno being in the command position is carried over.

Daniel Rocka can be considered official in my opinion. Still, I hardly ever acknowlege their first names.

Neither

Gonna try and contact Bink, see what he has to say (if he's even involved anymore, which I don't think he is). Kinda sad how it got started, but since it keeps happening, might as well get some clarification. Plus, Daniel is a solid first name for him.

[Zachattacx]

Well I'm a HF nerd and still remember all the hero's first names. ;p

But Daniel seems pretty solid for guy called Rocka.

Also got Bulk earlier today,very blandish set IMO,but the overall set is okay.The face is not as big as I expected(Thank god),thus this completing the first wave of BA for me.

I've built 4/8 of wave one, and Furno XL is the best of them. I'm happy Bruizer has some dark bley, but more would have been nice. I found Bulk to be okay, and I have the same opinion on Scarox. I think that out of these four, I have the best and weakest sets of the wave. I also find my brother's Pyrox and Rocka to be quite nice.

Honestly, I don't really understand all the hype over Furno XL. He's cool and all, but definitely not my favorite of BA nor is he my favorite Titan (Stormer takes that title). I guess my biggest problems are the legs, which could use some bulk, and the arms which, while longer than Stormer's, are set too far back making them seem shorter than they are in some poses.

From favorite to least: Breez, Rocka, Furno, Bulk.

And while I'm at it, Villains: Pyrox, Ogrum, Scarox, Bruizer.

The arms are probably the weakest part, but it's his overall look; the sword and the shield carry his fire motif well, the legs are streamlined and uncomplicated, yet sturdy. Stormer was great too, but suffered similar problems with weirdly set arms, and a tiny head. Also stickers. I'd say he's on par with Stormer as a titan, and compared to the generic Heroes of BA, he's definitely a cut above them, if only for doing things different and being well-armored.

[Devorath]

There's the month late end of January update for BA. Includes the Shopping Mall, as well as cutscenes.

It doesn't appear for me.

Me either.

[Devorath]

On the iPad? Maybe it came out earlier on the NZ App Store?

[Bigger Fish]

So, I was looking at a display case for the BA sets and I noticed that Bulk didn't have any armor on his shield arm. Thinking that was a mistake I proceeded to pick up a Bulk set and check, I then noticed that they cleverly positioned him to have his shield to cover all of his arm in all of the pics excluding the combiner in which he had armor on his shield arm. LEGO's a sneaky little company, now are they?

I'm surprised you didn't see a review before that incident,but yeah sometimes the Cgi image on the bag could be misleading(ahemBruizerahem).

[Dorek]

Maybe they didn't think he could move as effectively with a piece of armor there. Look at the Savage Planet paw pieces; if you have that on the end ball, you can't place a piece of cladding on the arm, because it reduces range of motion.

[Shakar]

I don't get what you guys are talking about.

Bulk has cladding on both upper arms, but he can't have it on his lower arms because he uses shorter bones without ball joints. Like Rocka, Breez and Evo later in the year.

They probably meant accessory armour on the cladding on his shield arm.

And Ogrum.....

[Dorek]

So Rocka is now officially Daniel Rocka. Deal with it, nerds.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Cyrix]

swaaaaaaaag

I'm assuming you got this from Bink, right? Could we see an exact quote, just to be sure?

[Dorek]

Don't have an exact quote on me, but it was more that he isn't actually involved in the story anymore, so it was fine to consider the repeated identification of him as such as canon.

[Vinyl Scratch]

but it was more that he isn't actually involved in the story anymore,

Oh boo, Bink left the story team? That's sad.

This means Greg is the only one we can rely on for canon.
