Hi guys! Wertman 8 down the line, doing my seventh review of Breakout, on Rocka, the big main Hero! So Rocka is just a replacement of Furno as the underdog who wins at the end (what is up with the Lazy character writing?!) So anyway, lets get on with the review!
About this creation
So lets take a look at dem new pieces! We have one Golden Upper Gun piece, one Head Mold (How Rocka would have looked in his 1.0 form, although it is based on the 2.0 Rocka, which was never released as a set, just designed for the "Savage Planet" half hour film.) and one new body mold piece in gold.
We have two shield pieces in trans green (seen before in red on Breez 4.0), a trans green Glatorian gun piece (Please take note that these are slightly shorter than the ones released in Bionicle) One trans green skull piece, and a New Hero Core mold in white (Cores are no longer colour coded.)
We have all new pieces in those Hero Cuffs, we have one gunmetal grey shoulder piece, a wierd hose thing and longer upper bone pieces in grey (The silver ball has been seen before, so forget that's there!)
So here is Rocka, he is cool set! I like how they followed on from Gunmetal and gold seen in the "Rocka XL" Titan (the 3.0 Rocka was gold and black). It also gives Rocka a not dark, but tanned colour. The silver Doesn't achive this as well, but i don't mind that, the silver is ok.
I like the look of the Neon green seen in his body, it makes him look as if he is coursing with Energy (which highlights Rocka's energetic personality)
One of the things i don't like about Rocka is the shins. Maybe if they turned the pieces upside down and put them to the side, like Breez, surge and Furno, then it would look cool!
the set is one of the most fun to pose, and seems like he can execute cooler poses than the rest (or maybe that's just me :P), But the thing that feeds the arrows into the gun limits a bit of posability, and i'd just get rid of it, with the one arrow on the gun, we can get the point that it's ment to be a crossbow!
Of cause, As the main hero, Rocka goes up against the Big, bad guy, Black Phantom!
I give this set a 4/5, so buy it now!
See ya with Jawblade!

When I get Rocka 4.0, Ill spray-paint Rocka's head grey to match my Hero Factory MOC " Allan Inferno, which is not in MOCpages yet" but i also need to buy Surge so i get the Gunmetal upper gun piece for Allan Inferno too.
By the way, Nice review :D
I never had the heart to spraypaint pieces :p |

I have also purchased this set, and I must say I really like it! I'm surprised about what you said about the arrow feed, I love the way it looks. Nice review anyway!
it's not so much how it looks, it's about how it limits posability. |

As an owner of this set, I agree with all you said. However, I'd have liked for the random silver to be black, or even gold instead. So anyway, nice review, Wertman. Also thanks for faving me!
