LEGO Hero Factory 6229: XT4

Product Information

Led by veteran Hero Preston Stormer, the team comprises senior members Dunkan Bulk and Jimi Stringer, original rookies and later fully fledged teammates William Furno, Mark Surge and Natalie Breez, and new rookies Julius Nex, Nathan Evo and Daniel Rocka. Breez has the ability to communicate with all known types of animals due to a program in her Hero Core, which also allows her to sense disturbances in nature. It uses TECHNIC elements and followed the BIONICLE product line which featured six heros per line in which each Hero is unique thanks to their Quaza Core, a mineral stone that provides each of them with a distinct personality. The Alpha 1 Team attempts to intervene, but is soundly defeated, necessitating a risky upgrade into stronger forms to help combat the new threat. An online game (or offline, for the app) was released, featuring the player as an Alpha Team hero fighting different beasts and earning power-ups.

Lego Hero Factory (stylized as LEGO HERO FACTORY) is a line of toys by the LEGO Group marketed primarily at 6 to 16-year-olds. Brains, launched by an unknown mastermind, are sent to the Makuhero planet, where they infect and possess the numerous native creatures. The Heroes head back to the Hero Factory, unaware of a Jumper cocoon hidden away in the loading deck of the Hero Craft. Each Hero Factory set in the first wave was marked with an emblem reading "From the Makers of BIONICLE Characters" as a way to keep the line familiar to BIONICLE fans. The successor to BIONICLE, Hero Factory continued the theme of buildable action figures, with an episodic story to support the line.During the 2013 storyline, the Heroes have to fend off an invading army of native creatures controlled by the Brains, a species of parasitic organism dispatched by a mysterious villain. Rocka's group arrive first at the central mine via the transportation unit, where Witch Doctor had been mining the Quaza. Surge replies that since he now knows what being a real puppet is, he won’t turn down anything he can voluntarily do. Upon arriving, Rocka can't find Witch, and is soon confronted by a Fangz animal-native, but is incapable of defeating it and is knocked unconscious. But in the factory, there are more brains lying in wait for innocent minds, and they latch onto a repair crew, giving the heroes a new challenge to deal with.

The forms became the basis for subsequent upgrades; Heroes would be provided with new armor, weapons and gadgets for the mission at hand based on the environment they would have to enter or the lethalness of a villain. As Stormer, Furno, Evo, Nex, Surge, Breez, Bulk and Stringer are sent to catch and cuff the villains, Rocka remains at the Hero Factory for "security reasons".

Working together, Alpha 1 manage to release all the creatures and Surge from control of the brains, and defeat the drones. Once constructed, they are placed in special hero pods and beamed across the galaxy to defeat evil and complete their various missions.

While all of the heroes are distracted by the escapes, Black Phantom stays behind to destroy the Hero Factory assembly tower. The series originally premiered as a four-part mini-series on September 20, 2010, on Nicktoons; further episodes followed as the theme continued as a toy line until its discontinuation in 2014.In most cases, instructions for the models are found in the respective instruction booklets of the characters, with some exceptions. He thoroughly enjoys going on action-oriented missions, rarely content to be involved with community affairs. The Heroes then travel to a remote planet to acquire an antidote, while Furno finds Stormer and duels him. After the Alpha 1 team gained animal-based armor and weapons, Merrick Fortis developed his own "combi-weapons" and armor based on those used by Alpha 1, and debuted them on himself for a mission to Quatros. A gang of space villains, led by the evil Von Nebula, are some of the most feared beings in the galaxy, and are the main antagonists of the story for 2010.

Previous set elements, including the new Hero Cores and Hero Cuffs, remained consistent elements of this wave.Bulk is always ready for a mission, and enjoys fighting for the Hero Factory as much as he enjoys the actual fighting itself. After the incident with Von Ness, Stormer is determined that no rookie would ever put a mission in jeopardy again and is especially harsh on them as a result; many prior rookies under his command either gave up or were transferred out. As they walk into the street to help out, Breez asks Surge if this experience changed anything about how he feels to help.
