Hero Factory

Hero Factory is a LEGO toy line and, set-wise, the successor of BIONICLE. Hero Factory is from the same makers of BIONICLE.

Story
The story is told in many ways, such as the online Podcasts, the Television show, aptly named "Rise of the Rookies", and the comic series.

Comics
There are currently two comics, "The Trials of Furno" and "Core Crisis". The Trials of Furno details Furno's first mission, when Rotor and Xplode are causing trouble at an explosives plant. Core Crisis is about the Hero Factory team fighting a villain called Corroder.

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.

Toy Line
The first Hero Factory sets were released around early August of 2010. This first wave of sets contained 6 small canister sets, and 9 bigger boxed sets.
