What would you want in a Hero Factory Reboot?

[Yveran]

I think that was the joke.

[Brunamal]

Because of HF’s simplicity, I think they could get away with a continuation. The only thing I’d want for the sets would be some more bulk and complexity, and maybe some consistency in character designs. Scrawny Bulk bothered me to no end.

[DinosaursUnited]

I’d want it to take a risk. Change something. Kill someone off. Someone important like Furno, or Surge, maybe even blow up the factory. Let’s have a villain who is actually dangerous. Sure, a lot of villains were implied to be dangerous, but none of them actually hurt anyone or did anything super significant (with the exception of the dude who busted everyone out, that was neat.)

Basically, by playing it safe, you’re guaranteed to have a “meh” line. Let’s take a risk, and see what happens.

EDIT: If you’ve seen my channel, you’ve seen me kill Rocka and blowup the factory… It was fun

I would want Hero Factory to have more complex builds like the first G2 wave. The original HF was a bunch of copy and pasted builds.

The Original Concept of Hero Factory

A few days ago Faber posted a concept poster of Hero Factory during it’s early stages of development. The description was later removed as Faber felt it was too emotional and that the development work should remain secret. However, thanks to a 4chan anon and a few board users, we have the full confirmed description which sheds some light on the IFB ending and the original concept of HF. [spoiler]“The last HF episode “Invasion from below” became the most watched piece of content on LEGO’s website the year it came out. At the same time it marked the end of the short life of Hero Factory. It was criticised for a lot of different reasons but here are a few personal views on this battered factory.” “Invasion from Below” was made on a very low budget by Advance and Ghost who made all the origi…

This. So much this.

[Omni]

Maybe… more atmosphere.
The IFB animation felt so oddly empty,with hardly a sense of story or real danger. It was pretty much “OH NO TROUBLE HEROES GO TO THE RESCUE GET NEW UPGRADES DEFEAT BAD GUYS WOO.”
I guess what I really want is more of the story. There was so much they could have done.

[TeslaEffect]

I dont, same reasons I dont want a G3 for Bionicle. Give me something new, fresh, different.

And also there would not be any expectations as they are with those two lines because its a new line.

[Lurmm]

I’d want to see a reboot with complex lore, and an engaging storyline. Something fresh and interesting that even die-hard Bionicle fans would enjoy.

(also, I want the 2.0 helmet system back for at least two waves)

EDIT: Keep Stringer and Nex all the way through. Please.

[Da_Stronk_Destroyer]

Yes, I want new “caps” for that, maybe a slicked back, spikey look to one.

[Lurmm]

Or better yet, a full set of new caps in each color, kinda like BIONICLE G1’s mask packs.

I would also like to see compact $10 Hero sets (packaged in their pods) with gear mechanisms or launchers.

Villains could be in the $10-15 range for standard size, and titans could be $20 or more, dependent on size.’

Civilian sets would be cool, too.

[Da_Stronk_Destroyer]

scream
YES.

[Leoxander]

Imagine if they remade the theme to be more like a superhero comic and make the heroes more like Bounty Hunters. Because that is what the image Faber drew evokes with me.

[AwesomeJoel27]

I comic booksesque bounty hunter line would be awesome, even if it isn’t hero factory I want that for a next constraction line.

[YK97]

I would like to get some female-esque parts, you know… We really lack them curves…

[DannyBoyy]

I’d like to see the story continued from IFB to some new things, like the villains in the Secret Mission series coming as sets, or the Brains returning with that mysterious villain also being shown. Maybe the mechs could become mainstream for sets. The best thing would probably be some Technic and a deeper storyline.

[Azani]

I’d like them to bring back the original full cast, including Stringer and Nex, and create some truly high-stakes villians by infecting the heroes with a computer virus, or countering their abilities exactly.

[thormagniss]

i have a few ideas.

first off don’t release it at the same time as the star wars constraction sets if they do it will surely die quickly.

second off put an emphasis on their characteristics make stormer a rough grizzled hero veteran with a butt load of battle damage armor scars and maybe a prosthetic limb or two. give him a history of losing all his teammates due to a team members betrayal.

third let death be a thing don’t be afraid to kill a characters every now and then just make it a death worth dying. less jul’mdama from halo 5 more like the noble team from halo reach. don’t be afraid to kill off nameless heroes to show that no matter what they can all die on any mission at any time but trough team work they can survive to tell the tail.

fourth no gimic builds please that was bionicle’s thing.

fifth go crazy on the villains. make one a mad scientist that cuts up heroes to make zombie heroes. make corroder a psyco that wants to go on a hero genocide make the villains feel deadly.

sixth get…greg…for…the…story…nuff said.

seventh make each set look different yet similar to each other and make the villains different so they don’t come off as heroes.

eighth wait till like 2020 to launch HF G2.its would be to soon.

that’s all I can think of.

[PrimeDanger]

I feel CCBS only promotes complexity when you have a lot to work with, where as with the old system you could do more with fewer parts

[LoganMcOwen]

More of a focus on “make your own dude”. To me that’s what Hero Factory’s core concept should’ve been, but instead it became a tertiary focus and eventually just disappeared.

Also, I’d want them to carry on with gear mechanisms. Heroes with slashy plasma sabres, big punching boxing fists, or machine guns that mechanically come over their shoulders? Yes please.
