That's actually a really good set for parts, what with the beast head, trans-blue armour, four beast spikes and an XT4 torso in a polybag. I hope we see it released in other countries later this year. Also, what's with the socket on the bottom of it? Is it meant to connect to another beast?
The weapon on Fire Defender's shoulder is used in all the Defenders. It seems to be a match for the "rapid-shooter" found in the Star Wars Wookiee Gunship set that was unveiled recently: http://brickset.com/sets/75084-1/Wookiee-Gunship

Gah, that was tricky. I really wanted to vote for no. 28, but I decided it just wasn't set-like enough.
No one seems to have noticed, but the latest Hero Factory podcast has been up for a while. What I really liked here was the line "Sweet gas of Uranus!" and what sounded like a brief Back to the Future reference near the end, with the mention of a flux capacitor...
In terms of ethics? Mars Mission, by a long shot. That was perhaps the most morally dubious theme I ever bought every set of. But aside from that, I cannot forgive the truely god-awful alien designs. Two pieces? How were they ever a threat to that suspiciously well-armed mining expedition?
I'd say that's just 8092, Luke's Landspeeder. On topic, I for one think that this new AT-AT is a fine set, even if it cannot hold as many troops as I'd like. I also can't see why anyone would want an UCS AT-AT. I have this vision of the Millenium Falcon on stilts... Besides the fact it would be massively expensive.
EDIT: Damnit, ADHO15 beat me to it.
