Riaso looks extremely awkward with the trans green legs.

Thanks for the title change. Much better. The reason I suspect the brains/charger to be a copy is how both are present in games from Valve. Charger being a bulky grey thing from Left 4 Dead Brains being a parasite from Half Life. I wouldn't be so skeptical about lego being inspired by these ideas if they both weren't from a common source.

Nobody is mentioning how Bruizer is a ripoff. The title was a bit of a bad word choice admittingly, but I feel the rest to be similar.

Brain Attack: Attack Of Valve Game Creatures! Lets see.. the brains are very similar to Half Life Headcrabs. Heck, Lego even used a similar sound effect from the headcrab sound in Half Life 2. Don't forget the way the brains are deployed, exact same way the Half Life Headcrabs are deployed. Kinda funny that the ships look similar too. I honestly would have been less skeptical of this being a ripoff if there wasn't another obvious valve copy in this line.. but.... Bruizer is almost exactly like the Left 4 dead charger. A big mutated brute with one stubby arm, and one gigantic arm. Both in the same place on both beings. Left arm is huge, right arm is stubby. Doubt it's a coincidence. As I said above, they copied another Valve concept. Invasion From Below: This one is obvious. Pacific rim. Google the word "Kaiju" and you'll see a bunch of things that look like the "beasts" in the line. Saw one that looks like the queen One that looks like jaw beast Two headed one that looks like splitter Yellow flying thing that looks awkwardly similar to Flyer Beast Mech VS. Monster in a city area. Kinda funny.. Agree? Disagree? Discuss!

R.I.P Nex and Stringer

This is only $13? Looks like I'll be getting this!

sup friend.

Razar is an awesome figure. I got him because a friend makes videos with him and HF sets all the time and I thought he was cool as a set and character. Razar is basically a con artist/scammer interested in ripping off people with terrible deals. He even says "good deal friend" all the time. He's awesome

I have Razar and he is awesome. I might get Cragger.

I have a $50 amazon card and I have every Hero Factory set to date already.. so.. I kinda want to get some lego sets. I like the shows for Ninjago and Chima, so I'll probably get something in those areas. Maybe even a star wars set. I don't know. Any suggestions? I really like the Garmatron set. Should I get the used one for $32 if I do get it? Or the new one for $5 more? Personally, I have no issue with used sets. I buy most of my sets on ebay anyways

Colors are a bit messy. The moc looks nice in some aspects, but I dislike how some parts hang off of this. A lot of it looks kinda clustered too. Looks alright, needs some work.

I honestly have no clue. I just kept them in boxes, tried rebuilding sets with them and *SNAP* loads of parts break.

The team is only 7 now with the deaths of Nex and Stringer. Still.. bad lack of females. But if you wanted more females, you can just make some. Hero Factory allows you to let you implement your own characters into the existing storyline. (About Nex and Stringers deaths, in a book about Project Sunstorm in hero factory it mentions a few Alpha 1 team members dying in an explosion. Nex and Stringer both were never mentioned since said explosion in the books. With the 2 heroes being absent for two years, it should be obvious that those two were the heroes killed in the explosion)

I have so many broken HF parts 1 stormer 3.0 claw 2 furno 4.0 chestplates dozens of bone parts dozens of hydraxon fingers 2 blue hands ect. Still last longer than bionicle. I have enough duplicates for those small amounts to not hurt me.

It is in depth, but as I said. For some it's overcomplicated. I've been with it for what... 14 years..? and I still find it overcomplicated and cluttered with TONS of plotholes. I like it none the less. Just not the type of thing I'd wish to keep up with.

I've loved Bionicle as a product line since 2001 when they first came out. I remember my mom giving me Tahu and Lewa Mata back in christmas of 2001. Shortly after I got the Boxor set. Loved the things since. When I first saw Hero Factory I was on a hiatus from buying Bionicle after being disapointed with Onua MISTAKEa in 2008. I didn't like it, being the immature brat I was back then I even yelled a little bit saying ignorant things such as "EW THIS THING TOOK OVER MY CHILDHOODS TOY" but no, Hero Factory didn't replace Bionicle. It was made in RESPONSE to Bionicles end. Anyways.. not the point. I instantly fell in love with Hero Factory when I friend bought me Evo 2.0, and I bought a Stormer 2.0. The new parts were just amazing to me. Something completely new. The parts didn't break a week after I built them, they wouldn't fall apart every 2 seconds like Bionicle sets did (Inika pads) Plus the fact that Hero Factory did something no lego line has ever done before: Make 100+ new parts in one release. That was pretty cool. I loved messing around and building gigantic creatures out of the bone parts. I just found the sets more expansive than Bionicle. Now I just collect the sets, but still am stuck with between 2-10 of each set (10 witch doctors :L) Will sell those on ebay sooner or later because I don't moc anymore. against the point though. I just really liked how all the parts worked together. They all shared a common texture and provides moccers a much more sleek look. The sets look much smoother too. Overall, the toyline is much more expansive even if it is repetitive. The Inika builds all were basically the same toy with some minor differences. Very boring to me. HF may use a lot of the same parts, but the 3.0 sets have shown us the potential these limbs have. I'm pretty sure that's why the 3.0 was made, to show that you could build more than just a generic action figure like the Inika builds were. You could build a giant, you could build a scorpion, you could build huge things just by using HF limbs. You can even infuse it with Technic parts/Bionicle parts. It's something nice and new to me. Now on to story.. (COMPLETELY OPINIONATED, I DON'T WANT TO BE CALLED A TRAITOR/IDIOT OR WHATEVER FOR THINKING THIS) I've read almost all the bionicle books, almost all the online stories, ect. and personally I think Bionicle is just cluttered. The existing story is very fragile when it comes to expansion and moccing in canon. Most any action will contradict something in the story. It's too complicated for children to follow, and too much to keep up with in my opinion. Hero Factory has both a story, and a LOT of room for making your own story. It's a simple concept, Hero characters built in a factory that go arresting villians and fight mindless monsters/evil brains. Hero Factory has books for those who want stories, and a simple concept to base stories off of for those who just want to moc and make a story. Nothing like "ONLY 2 OLMAKS EXIST" or "MATA NUI IS DEAD", "MAKUTA CANT BE UR DAD" or whatever like most Deviantart people whine about in moccers comment sections. It's simple and clean, just like the toys. I like both toylines a lot,but hero factory has much more for me than bionicle does. Sure my HF parts break sometimes, but not as bad as the one week life of a bionicle. You also don't have to worry about a limb cracking and it being impossible to replace without ordering. Most sets use common limbs. Simple and easy to work with. These are just my opinions, I don't want comments calling me an idiot, traitor to bionicle, moron, or a paragraph explaining why I'm "wrong" Mephek out. Peace.

REALLY LATE. But no, 2.0's look awkward inside dropships.

This just looks terrible. Terrible build, looks clustered and clunky. Looks like something I'd make when I was 5

The gear on his crotch.. why.

Design is inconsistent and overall bad. Looks rather clunky for being thin
