ReZourceman Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 These all look absolutely incredible. Need all of them. In one go. Damn. So broke. Quote
8BrickMario Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) I'm back, and really excited about these. Adam Acid looks awesome (and his damaged face includes a nasal cavity when most minifigs have no external noses), and Infearno looks amazing. Toxikita I don't get, and I need a better look at Psyclone and Tremor to form an opinion. I wonder why "Terabyte" has Lord Business's helmet mold on the box but not in the set image. And what disaster would he represent? A computer virus? The vehicles look great, but the HQ is lacking compared to the original Agents and ADU Mobile HQs. I wonder what the villain backstories will be. It seems like they've been mutated by the element/disaster they represent. And is it just me, or does the disaster theme of the villains ooze (pun intended) of controversy? Edited April 4, 2014 by 8BrickMario Quote
obsidianheart Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Are you referring to this? http://www.geeksugar...ents-Mission-HQ If so, there's no need to wait on Ultra Agents for that piece—it's already out in several of this year's Chima sets. That's the one. I knew it was in Chima sets, but I'm not a huge fan of those. Quote

Tom Jurassic Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 These all look great, and the Torsos are reusable for exactly what I want: S.H.I.E.L.D!!!! :D Quote
8BrickMario Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Wow, those are very different from what I expected. I can see Tremor's head used in a lot of customs with that red visor. Psyclone is just weird and doesn't have the awesome elemental look that Acid and Infearno have. Maybe the villains are affiliated with each other (Psyclone, Terabyte and maybe Acid and Toxikita) but not a unified group? I've noticed that LEGO almost never uses a new mold in one set unless it's too overspecialized (for instance, they supposedly reuse the LB helmet in this theme), so I wonder where Tremor's armor will resurface. Perhaps once the CMFs get back on track it will be used on a future minifig? And I look forward to future uses of Infearno's flame. EDIT: I saw better pics of Terabyte in that slideshow (Thanks, Pigbrick) and his pixel-themed look makes him interesting. Maybe I'm right about the virus thing? And the helmet he's shown with is really cool as well, but where's the one on the box? Edited April 5, 2014 by 8BrickMario Quote
DraikNova Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Okay, while Psyclone's not really that interesting to me anymore (those oxygen tubes would look better if the awkward-looking part below his head was removed), Tremor's armor is pretty nice. I would have preferred the helmet and armor to be separate, it looks appropriately bulky. It's also one of the few LEGO armor pieces that actually look like they could protect the wearer. About the descriptions: I really hope those given on the Brick Fan are incorrect, because if not, that implies some very disturbing stuff about Psyclone. Quote

PenPlays Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 About the descriptions: I really hope those given on the Brick Fan are incorrect, because if not, that implies some very disturbing stuff about Psyclone. If I understand correctly... its just a mech. Not a giant clone to use for...er... different means. Also, for those of you who are skeptical about what Terabyte's "disaster" is, wouldn't a complete shutdown of a nation's communication systems be considered a disaster? The more I look at these, the more I want to grab them all in one go!! (I must wait for sales. I MUST wait for sales!!!) Quote
BrickBuilder3213 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I can't wait to get one of these beauties on my birthday. ^o^ Infearno Interception is my first and ONLY Ultra Agents purchase, for sure! Quote
sithewok Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 These sets just look like so much fun. I've been buying way too much lately, so I'm going to try to pass these up. I already know I'll cave in on at least some of them, though. Quote
DraikNova Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Those descriptions state that Psyclone's mech is a giant version of him. How something with that most definitely non-humanoid body plan translates to a minifig is something I don't want to know. Quote
8BrickMario Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Odd, since it's a vehicle. Perhaps the description is preliminary. Where did you find that? By the way, I love the homages to the original Agents, with Infearno sort of referencing Dr. Inferno , and Toxikita's Toxic Meltdown being a reference to 4-Wheeling Pursuit (both include a toxic/sludge-based villain with an orange helicopter).

Clone OPatra Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Do you see how the Psyclone fig is wearing a backpack with twin rotors on it? Now look at the mech, and it's got feet and twin rotors? Pretty sure that's all it's talking about. No need to overthink this one too much. These final set pictures are action-y to the max. The HQ truck especially has so much going on on the front that it's like an assault on the eyes. That said, the Infearno set looks amazing, both for the vehicle and minifigures. It's great to see a creative, fresh, and very well-constructed-looking design. The Infearno figure himself also looks like a ton of fun. Quote
HomerJSimpson Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I think of infearno as being a mutated dr. Inferno. Quote
Toby Adams Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Seeing final picks makes me want them all! Infearno Inception looks explosive! (pun not included) Edited April 6, 2014 by Toby Adams Quote

Corydoras Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Nice to see they fixed the truck's front. Now it looks much better! Quote
Toby Adams Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I was thinking about the amount of Trans-Blue parts-they seem scattered everywhere lately and that's a good thing for me (I like Trans-Clear) Quote
Kalhiki Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I was thinking about the amount of Trans-Blue parts-they seem scattered everywhere lately and that's a good thing for me (I like Trans-Clear) Same here. I think I said it before, but I'm just sad it's not fluorescent. Black light would make the quad in the Infearno set look amazing! Quote
PenPlays Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Black light would make the quad in the Infearno set look amazing! Time to do some black light price research... Chima and Agents are gonna bring some awesome lights... Quote
Kalhiki Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Time to do some black light price research... Chima and Agents are gonna bring some awesome lights... Not so fast. I believe these sets are using just a regular trans light blue, not fluorescent. Meaning they won't glow. Which makes me really sad. Quote
Lyichir Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Not so fast. I believe these sets are using just a regular trans light blue, not fluorescent. Meaning they won't glow. Which makes me really sad. I believe even regular trans light blue glows faintly under a blacklight. I used to create awesome castles out of all my transparent parts and look at them under a blacklight when I was a kid...

I used to create awesome castles out of all my transparent parts and look at them under a blacklight when I was a kid... If it's the same trans light blue that's on Brain Attack Stormer, then no. I've tried, and much to my disappointment, no fluorescent glow. I know there is (or was) a trans fluorescent light blue. I think some of the Toa Mata had it for eye color. And some Bohrok eyes were in that color as well. Quote
