HERO Factory TV Show Thread

WHY IS THERE NO THREAD FOR THIS?

Anyways, lets talk

[Mesonak]

What exactly is there to talk about that hasn't been already talked to death in the regular Hero Factory topics? :P

[Merc4hire95]

How about the Von Nebula plot. I love the new take of Invasion from Below, but TLG is definitely steering away from Von Nebula's master plan, which worries me.

[Mesonak]

Oh, I've given up hope on that at this point. It's clear there's absolutely no concrete sense of direction with HF's story anymore despite Breakout's promising changes.

Of course, they could completely surprise me with Invasion from Below and tie it all together into an epic tale of dangerous exploits, betrayals, and plot twists...

...however, I sincerely doubt that. :P

[Merc4hire95]

If only the fans could write the story plot, we could have an epic tale of unimaginable proportions. Well it sucks if TLG just drops Von Nebula, he's about the only villain who actually posed a threat to Hero Factory. I was hoping all these films(Breakout, Brain Attack, Invasion, etc.) was going to be a part of a grander plot to cripple Hero Factory. So much for that dream.

[Mesonak]

It could still happen; we must not lose hope! Perhaps Invasion from Below could tie into it in some way. I just don't really see how. :/

Am I the only one still wondering who's the person launching the brains in the beginning of Episode 10-Brain Attack? Also, can someone explain to me how that Voltix-Von Nebula projection in Episode 8-Breakout, Part 1 works?

Voltix has the power to create energy projections like that. I guess the creators used a projection of Von Nebula for symbolism's sake (if they just wanted to reuse an existing character model they could have used Voltix himself), but it ended up creating more confusion than anything else.

I haven't seen the Brain Attack TV episode yet. I really need to get on that. I've heard it's somewhat lacking in terms of story, but the fight scenes I've seen in trailers look quite cool... much more melee combat and less Stormtrooper-esque firefights than the BIONICLE movies and earlier HF episodes had a reputation for.

I'm very excited for next year's episode since it's being handled by Advance (the Danish ad agency that has played a lead role in story development for BIONICLE and Hero Factory) and Ghost (the VFX agency that made the old BIONICLE commercials and recently did VFX work for Pacific Rim).

The fights are generally better, but nothing else. The story is very simple with lots of product placement. I also can't find a single English copy which is hi-res, unfortunately. The best resolution I found still makes Furno looks like a mass of pixels when viewed in full screen...

I had thought the Nickelodeon website had it in good resolution. I remember being surprised when I found that out. But maybe I was mistaken about the resolution, since I didn't end up watching it at that time. In any case it's at least better than the resolution on the LEGO site.
