Hero Factory

Hero Factory is a LEGO toyline and is the successor of BIONICLE. It is also made by the same designers as BIONICLE. However, they bear absolutely no relevance to the Bionicle storyline.

Comics
The comic series is still going. They began in 2010 and continue to be released to the present day. The comics are as follows:
 * 1) The Trials of Furno
 * 2) Core Crisis
 * 3) The Enemy Within
 * 4) Von Nebula
 * 5) Ordeal of Fire
 * 6) Savage Planet

Podcasts
The podcasts are aired under the name "Hero Factory FM", with a DJ known as Mak Megahertz. Hero Factory FM is the Hero Factory's official Radio station, and it serves to give updates about the Hero Factory teams and their missions. The Podcasts are released on the Hero Factory Official Website, and provide a lot of canon up-to-date information.

Toy Line
The first Hero Factory sets were released around early August of 2010. This first wave of sets contained 6 small canister Hero sets, as well as four boxed Villain sets, two boxed titan sets, two larger boxed sets and a limited edition two-pack set.

The second wave of Hero Factory sets came out in mid-December of 2010. They featured six canister Hero sets yet again, with completely modified designs and two new Heroes. There were three boxed Villain sets and one titan set.

The third wave of the Hero Factory Series came out in mid-July of 2011. For a third time they featured six canister Hero sets, one of them being a new Hero. It also featured three boxed Villain sets and three boxed titan sets (one, the Witch Doctor, of whom was far larger then any titan and is currently the biggest set-related character).

TV Series
The Hero Factory TV series was an adaption of the comics created into animated episodes for television. The 1.0 series had four episodes, all of which were named after the comics: "The Trials of Furno", "Core Crisis", "The Enemy Within", and "Von Nebula". In the 2.0 series, there was surprisingly a single episode titled "Ordeal of Fire." In the 3.0 series, the episode (which was a longer one then the others) was entitled "Savage Planet."
