Interesting set up. For whatever reason, the shed windows remind me of church windows. Not a bad thing, mind, I rather like the look. A tall, sturdy engine shed with tall windows and doors, and a sturdy diesel to keep dry from the rain or snow or whatever befalls this LEGO world in winter. Speaking of which, where did you find that diesel's stripy buffer-beam/plow? The signal box looks great. I can't tell what's going on inside there, but it looks like the signalman has everything he needs. I really like the colors used for the box, and I like the little wooden crossing on the tracks. I like the details, they really bring the set to life. I like that grey oil drum, very creative method in making it appear to be so. And the workmen recycle! How cool is that? I never would have known about the new bricks in the shed. Is there no way to fix the gap? It's not really that noticeable on first glance. It looks great. I do hope you decide to add more to it. The little diesel does need some trucks to shunt around, after all, and there isn't much space it can do it

First thing I thought of when I saw this- "Ghost Train". Not like the 'Monster Hunters' line with the skull face and the ghosts driving the train, or like in 'Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends' with Percy covered in lime, but a white and grey ish locomotive with clear 'ghostly' wheels and glow in the dark features. I imagine the part could be used for loads of other things, but I really wanna see a ghost train.

It's an assumption I believe. Considering how long other waves have gone, about 3 years, summer and winter each, it is possible to assume Hero Factory will run for that long. I'd prefer the idea of multiple lines for this system. We've had Super-Heroes and Hero Factory together at the same time, what's stopping anyone from making Hero Factory and 'Chima' together? Sticking to HF, I do wonder what role Stormer will play, if any major role at all this year. Personally, I'd like to see someone like Breez or Nex have a chance to shine, since neither did during Breakout(at least, not that I'm aware). I'd love to see also if Stringer maintains his small set size, or if he gets bigger in the next wave. I also wonder if there will be a titan-sized brain-slug host. It would be interesting to see a massive being covered in slugs, perhaps with the slugs making up certain parts of its body? Like the abdomen or muscles on the arms or something. Just throwing ideas out there.

Not all can be fighters, but that doesn't mean they don't contribute in their own way, nor does it mean there should be less fighters- it's always nice to have someone to call out to face the dangers out there. I've gotten a few comments from family and friends on the creation, they seem to think it would look better in all dark-pearl-grey than white, what do you all think? EDIT: I was about to take apart Dark Matter and Red Fist for good, and I just had an idea- Should I combine their parts together to make some sort of mega-titan MOC? Or at least just a new and different combiner? Please, comment all and let me know!

Otherwise known as "I can't change my other thread to say 'Cirkit's MOCS', so I'm posting more pics of a creation I posted in that thread here". I started work on this guy one, maybe two months back, and just recently got around to finalizing him. He's meant to be the "Right Hand Man" of Dark Matter, a former Lieutenant of one criminal mastermind Von Nebula, who branched away and started his own villain-army. The Red Fist used to be a Hero Factory employee, designing new tech for Heroes and others to use in the field, but was exiled after an experiment went wrong. He joined forces with Dark Matter and rebuilt his left arm and hand, hence his name. He serves sort of the same purpose as he did before, being the 'tech guy', but also recruiting and building new members for their cause. You can read more about him here: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=75099 Here's some pics: And a bonus- I doodled up a pic of how I'd like Red Fist to look like. Here shown with the gun retracted into his chest, and goggles. I like the goggles Any questions, any comments, any review is welcome. -Cirkit

Not a problem- the way you do it makes it look so much more organized compared to the mess in the comments I make! I agree with most, if not all your points. The gold-tan issue should be interesting. Perhaps if the designers choose to use gold in place of tan, then the weapons will be silver with gold accents? Just a thought. Silver and gold, silver and gold... It was gonna happen eventually! Agreed about azure. I think everybody wants more. It feels like there should be a sixth set in there. I'm not sure why, it just does. Maybe a gorilla?

Well.. that's an interesting loco.. The Lego Loco looks like it turned out pretty good. From what I can see, it matches up with the photographed loco well. A small part of me thinks that in a year or so, this type of engine will somehow make it into the "Thomas & Friends" show. Help us all.

A "Chima" constraction set? Interesting. I spy a few older pieces, but most I can see are new. The armor certainly looks impressive. The "Chima" line sounds and looks very interesting. I wonder what the story is behind "Chima"?

Hmm, that is an interesting thought. I think that could work rather well, if done correctly.

I still think with the parts I used the thumb could have been better, but thanks so much for the comment! :) I tried to put as much 'meat' on the legs as possible with the new system, but I agree it could be better. Perhaps if I had those long hinged legs in the XT4 set, I could use them for the upper legs, and use the new small 3-hole grey part in Stormer XL to bulk up the lower legs...? I think they make him look more like the scientist than the fighter, thanks so much!

Thanks for the kind comment. I'm afraid his fingers will stay as-is until I find enough in gunmetal. Not so much I can do with his tool.. I'm not quite sure how to take the cute comment, but thanks.

That's exciting! I'm not as worried about the head shape with the extra pin as i was before. I mean, we've had most of the Bionicle mask-wearing characters with pin-holes on or as the mouth, and they didn't look that bad(I preferred the Metru heads).. I just hope they serve their function well. :)

It has been kind of mentioned that the universe HF takes place in does have both robotic and organic beings, just look at Splitface and 'Reapa. Maybe 'bloodthirsty' is an expression? Like Pyrox craves the kill or something?

The more and more I look at this, the more I think two things. I want to try and make a head, or at least a face, out of all HF ball-cup parts, like seen here; and I'd like to see this guy ride a motorcycle, as mentioned. That would be pretty darn cool.

Reading through the bios, I can say that I thoroughly agree with Vinyl Scratch about the sexiness of it all. The visors, the blades, the brains, the freaking plasma swords.. Bulk's drill actually attaches to his back, how awesome is that?? Now that I know more about the story and the characters, I can say that I like the wave a bit more than I did before. The villains don't sound like they are actually villains until they get taken over by the brains. That's a pretty cool concept, the more I think about it. I think the 'major villain' thing might just be a size thing. Bruizer is the second large-sized villain. The fact that the quote calls Pyrox a "bloodthirsty monster" makes it all the more better. The descriptions make me wonder if any of these guys are mechanical at all. Rock monster I get wouldn't be, but the others I'm not so sure about.. What do you all think?

Had a look-see at some of the recent posts.. I'm still stunned about the Glatorian Heads. As for the mentioned trans colors, I'd love to see the former more than the latter. I used to draw Toa and other related Bionicle things with purple eyes all the time; the color always fascinated me for some reason. I concur. I hope the new head piece works, period. If it is compatable with HF/GlatBio(nice, by the way) heads, great. If there is a separate head piece that can be used, that's great as well. I just hope they don't go Inika on us. I look forward to seeing what the designers have got planned for us.

My thought was that the 2.0 head would be modified to work with the Glat' helmet configuration, + pin holes added to it and that stuff. No matter which way it's done, old piece or new, I just home our old helmets will be compatible somehow. Same here :) I wonder if there will be any new trans colors next wave?

No more Glatorian Head huh? That's a surprise. I wonder if Front means if the designers are going to use the 2.0 heads, because they're technically not Bionicle cups, or if they have a whole new head system in mind. I like all the ideas Aanchir provided. I'd like to see more methods for attaching back armor as well, and I really like the idea of an 'articulated' torso. Two special bone parts, combined together, and two new armor pieces on each of the bones. It could work. I wouldn't mind seeing another 'Nidhiki'-build for the range, it could be done. I'd prefer if another large animal were introduced first. The dog-companion is a good idea, sounds like something I remember seeing in the first Hero Factory promos. That scene was way too funny.

It looks very basic in design, but sometimes the simpler things are more fun. I like the little trans-lazers, and the orange and white is really nice to look at. Nnnnnneeeeeeeoww... pew pew, pew pew. It is fun :D

So all the heads will be like VN's? Sweet! I just hope the faces cover the whole head instead of just being 'masks'. VN's mask looked more like a helmet than anything, and that made it work. I've found the double C parts to be quite handy in a pinch, shame I don't have more of them. Same with the hole-ball-hole. XT4's torso would be brilliant for many of my builds, but I really want to use it for a titan or vehicle set. Imagine the possibilities..

To the first, I could see that happening easily. Perhaps the horns are attached directly to a Glatorian head? The attachment idea seems likely.. I'm having trouble imagining the slugs connecting another way, but this idea works as well I think: Indeed. I look forward to seeing what the designers have done with these heads..

I meant more like ralkon's idea. I should have come on here and edited that into the original post, just saw a great video-game related movie and the term came to mind while watching it. 'Mortal Combat' style. Yeah. As nice as the thought of a game like that would be, I think Zork is right. I like that idea better. It would be like mixing the Recon Hero Builder with.. I'm not sure of a game I can match it up with. I'm not sure what Shadow of the Colossus is but it sounds interesting enough. A game like "Darksiders" could also work. Choose your story, build your character, do whatever you want while following the main story.. it could happen. Still, thinking back to the 'Mortal Combat' style, I think it would have been cool to see 'specialized' moves for the villains. Von Nebula would have this giant vortex thing that shoots rapid fire at somebody, or he could warp from one side of the battle stage to another; while other villains would be more obvious, with Xplode's spikes launching, Voltix using his whip to electrocute foes, and Black Phantom using his 'spider'. I imagine BP's taunt would be to lean back and look at his perfect nails.

TR Apple green= TR bright green. Gotcha. I hope we see some of those pics from Ebay. I really like seeing those. I wonder how the brains will attach?

Very cool. The purple with the gold lion contrast so well. The Falcon group looks like the evil side, and one I could get on board with very easily. I feel however the red on the Falcons needs to be a tad bit darker, but that's just me.

I still don't know what that means. Does that mean he'll be constructing the creation in real life? That makes a bit more sense than just "in the bricks".
