Yay, but only if it comes back as a Duplo theme

Exo Force was a big part of my childhood, so I definitely want it back. Maybe I’ll revamp some old sets, eventually.

I’ll be up for it. It always interested me and it’ll be great to have a set from Exo-Force.

Personally I’d rather not make it into an anime-artstyle sort of deal, rather just normal lego faces.

LEGO has upped their game when it comes to mechs. It could work.

YES. That concept has so much promise.

I’d be happy if they make an entirely Mech line, with proper poseability and all. If it can’t pose properly, then it’s dead to me.

Yay.

but if they’re gonna bring it back, make it mature like the last generation. LEGO’s been lacking a mature story theme for a while now…

Amen to that. Ninjago and Ultra Agents were the closest we’ve gotten to a mature theme lately.

Just gonna second this. The enemy robots, I loved their design. Seeing an upgraded version of that would be great.

From a financial standpoint, a theme about mech suits would sell pretty well with kids today, so I say yay

I’d say yay, knowing how popular mecha’s are becoming again worldwide.

But by yay, I mean give the story a proper conclusion and not the ā€œYOU DECIDE HOW IT ENDSā€ sort of nonesense we got instead.

This isn’t an actual reboot, but it might still be of interest to anyone still hoping for new Exo-Force stuff:

Some recent set leaks/rumours show that an upcoming set features a ā€œmodernizedā€ Stealth Hunter build. However, it’s not really the main focus of the set; as such, the build is fairly small and simple, using the prefab ā€œmech limbsā€ with no knee or elbow poseability.

(I’d post the picture, but I’m not sure what the rules are around it; it doesn’t have any confidential markings, but I also don’t think it was officially put out by Lego)

Yep, I’ve seen that leak a few days ago!
It’s pretty intriguing that Lego seemingly decided to give such a reference to Exoforce, one that not even Bonkle got recently. (Minus the 2023 GWP, of course.)

As for the question:

-Yes, I’d be very excited for another iteration of Exoforce.

-No, I am sure that it would go through some changes to the plot and its tone, but if, let’s say, it would receive a similar treatment as A: TLA, with a similar-looking TV/Streaming show, I could get behind it.

The set has officially been revealed. Set 60421 Robot World Roller-Coaster Park:

There are a number of references to other themes, but here’s a close-up of the new Stealth Hunter build:

And the original for reference:
