How To Use LEGO CORE HUNTER Parts In Bionicle MOCs

[@purplehaze2358]

Never forget that, if Hero Factory wasn't about robots, Core Hunter would be a serial killer that tears the hearts out of people's chests.

[@jimboskran4892]

He would've been a cop turned killer and once he removes the hearts of other cops he puts them on a belt as trophies... he's really dark the more you think about it.

He’s basically vile

[@nunocampea2395]

Core Hunter was once a rookie from hero factory but he went rogue thanks to some kind of defect. He felt that there was nothing for him in the Hero Factory and that no one cared about him and his future. And that claw he has is a "Hero Core Remover Tool" that he probably stole, the mask is a multivision mask which uses infrared, x-ray, and ESP. the saddest part is that hes probably dead thanks to the Doom Box causing the Villain's powers to fold in on himself, until his body slowly winked out of existence. i found this in his wiki page, all this info is in the books apparently

[@somewhereelse1235]

IIRC, one of the lines from that book mentions something along the lines of "he must be happy now" after he gets wiped from existence

I read the book. He turned into a black hole. And died.

[@ツッチィ-w2r]

Back when I first saw him, before I knew of the concept of night-vision goggles, I always thought he had a spider-motif. To me, everything pointed to that: 8 pointed red pieces referencing the number of legs one has, and the goggles itself.

[@fernandolobo8297]

Never thought of that, but yeah makes sense.👍

This guy should have been a main villian.

He feels like hero factory's answer to lockdown from transformers

[@kuddlykraken2157]

a genuine personal favorite. I've always seen him as an analogue for Transformers Prime's Shockwave, where he uses the Quaza to experiment and bring to life many disgusting creatures, even some he uses as attack dogs. I mean, how could I not with the burly scientist with a giant canon wand chain?

[@purplehaze2358]

I'm praying to whatever deity will listen that I'll be getting Core Hunter as one of my presents for Sol Invictus this year.

[@MCLegoboy]

I think the coolest thing I saw that mask used for was as the head to some scorpion MOC that may have also been something like a spider version of Core Hunter, but I don't remember who built it.

[@forestbahamut8253]

JangBricks made a combiner model between Bulk and Core Hunter as a transformer moc

[@jqegermv3592]

The amount of cool parts this set gives you is amazing. Like trying out your fave candy after a long time

[@lvn4229]

3:00 wow those subtle details rlly do add on to his mystique as a character

[@BobTheDoctor27]

Another fantastic video! Great to see Core Hunter getting some appreciation even as a random canister set that never featured in the animations. Really enjoying your recent content and your celebration of clever parts usages and builders!

[@jimboskran4892]

It's always cool to see sets get talked about, especially Core Hunter (love your mocs btw! Your hero mocs are my favourite)

[@BenCossyOfficial]

Very sweet of you to say, thank you :)

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

If you see it, you can see some spider elements to it like he a predator like from the movie and his prey are unsuspecting heros, he's a scary mix of The Predator, Venom, and Boba Fett

[@tristanguardia3827]

In a way, i was lucky that i wasn’t an adult with a job when hero factory was a thing. Would have spend way too much for all of them

[@diegovalentino3953]

I got this in xmas when I was little and having lots of fun with it, thank you for making me remember this bad boy

[@MatejBeranek]

good to see ben making a video about core hunter my fav hero factory character

[@insidious9088]

Damn bro this came out A MONTH AGO??? It's amazing to see people still talking about hero factory. I'm on my reminiscing arc so I've been bouncing from Bionicles to hero factory. Core hunter was my favorite toy for many years!

[@rocksaltzwidaz3411]

I remember when my parents bought him for me i thought the world was gonna end before christmas so i made sure to open him early so i could play with him before then

[@hazardroid50000]

Those times where 2012 was the end of world. What a good memory

[@wilbowaggons]

I wish I never got rid of all my Hero Factory sets. As I've grown older, I see how cool they really were.

[@RealSkutti]

Heck yeah! CH is GOAT. I just had to build his MOC. And his lore is bad ass.

[@headcrabking9054]

I didn't realize how influential core hunter is to my moc style until watching this video! Great stuff!

[@Lizardkitmin]

SPIDER-MAN, SPIDER-MAN. He does whatever the Spider can! I love this set!

First Time Seeing Core Hunter And I'm Already In Love With Him

[@alexgremlin3680]

I bet if there was a Hero Factory and Bionicle crossover, Core Hunter would go after the masks of the Toa as well. I also kind of wouldn't mind him developing a rivalry with Takanuva. A fallen hero of pure evil vs the ultimate hero of light just seems destined to end in violence, it'd be so cool.

[@alexarias4099]

That is some badass character design, I imagine Core Hunter as the Stain of the Hero Factory world taking the cores from fallen heroes as a power source and trophies

[@Stretchinggecko]

Just picked him up from a bundle I saw on Facebook market place, always thought he was cool looking and wanted him as a kid but couldn't find him. So I am happy to have him now really cool character.

[@sammurabi4743]

Core Hunters' design feels more like a MOC than a Lego designed set in the best way possible. I would have been a lot more stoked about Gero Factory if they leaned into this kind of design more.

[@Nemesis_Chungus]

That revamp is gorgeous

[@gellog0530]

The revamp moc left arm looks so cool

[@fernandolobo8297]

This was the first Hero Factory set I ever got, before I new anything about the story. Given that he is a bounty hunter in the HF story, sort of a freelancer without any fixed team, gives him the 'lone wolf' vibe. And a bit of Boba Fett from Star Wars. Plus, I was inspired by one of your other videos and recently made a mock with parts from him and Stormer from the Brain Attack wave (the second set I got back in the day, before I got more from Bricklink). So It was very simple: uses one of Core Hunter's boots to cover the back (I think most heroes from Breakout wave had that), kept his original torso and has the cable connected around it as a bandolier. Besides, the set itself looks badass and is really fun to play with as well. Take care and happy building!💪✌

[@leoxgamer1342]

I love core hunter I always thought he was the scariest character I mean he’s a serial killer who kills hero’s and takes their cores he’s had to kill a couple to get that name

[@conorandkanohi]

The top of the mask can also kinda look like a face for a mask. Maybe someone could do that & use the goggle holes for some interesting top of mask connections? I'd try it out myself but I dont have the part

[@bionabot]

I love your videos always gets me in the mood to break out my pieces and experiment and I'm glad core hunter was covered so nicely on top of the nuanced info. He definitely deserves it!

[@BenCossyOfficial]

Thank you for your kind words :)

[@rustylynn7759]

Core Hunter kinda reminds me of Lockdown from Transformers

[@cesarsolis5737]

It’s giving me a combination of shockwave and scourge from transformers vibes

[@empatheticrambo4890]

I honestly agree with you. Core Hunter rocks. Though I always love Stringer 3.0

[@BenCossyOfficial]

Stringer 3.0 Is also fantastic!

Wasn’t here for Bionicle, but I was here for Hero Factory, and I was all in baby. I want Lego to bring back both series so badly now

[@Wild_bowzilla4675]

I got this one when I was a kid. I didn’t know the name of him so I just called him Cole

[@Takeawayjustin]

I am now actually kinda interested into bionicle and nexoknight there basically the same to me because of you

[@Takeawayjustin]

Also i mistaken nexo knights with herp factory i apologize

[@ToaKoran]

Core Hunter was one of the very few villain sets using the CCBS system that immediately won me over. I had my issues with the building system ever since it's very poor debut in 2.0, and never fully saw it's potential until Witch Doctor, but Core Hunter... There's no other way to say this than he's just sick and badass. He is a glimpse of what Hero Factory could have been if it focused more on world-building, story, and really making a world you could invest in and want to know more about and build characters within like what BIONICLE was.

[@PhoenixLightLord]

Hero Factory could have become just as great a Lego series if it hadn't been strangled by the ever-whining Bionicle fans. With their whining, they simply brought the series to the grave, despite excellent sets like this hunter, the lightning dragon, Pyrox, the water monster from the same wave of sets, the queen of monsters and some other excellent sets. Bionicle fans literally immediately crap on the series for the fact that it was not similar to Bionicle and did not yet have a full-fledged plot. It is impossible to develop a full-fledged series in 4 years, there are many examples of this - for example, the same Nexo Knights, which even in 2 years managed to fall to the bottom and ended with the stumping of the third wave of sets. Chima was closer to success, but Lego was too hasty with the plot and closed the series too early, although it was planned for season 4. It’s almost the same with the factory, except that Bionicle fans only strangled it, and didn’t touch the rest of the series. And even when Lego re-released the Bionicles, the fans continued to whine, like this is not what they wanted. The old molds of parts have long been lost, I am 200% sure of this, and making them again or making new ones is extremely expensive - but even so they easily gave us what everyone asked for. And even here the fans began to express dissatisfaction with literally everything they could... It’s good that at least in the case of Ninjago, LEGO didn’t listen to the whiners or close the series too early, otherwise Ninjago most likely wouldn’t have lasted longer than the Bionicles along with their re-release. And yes, I apologize for possible errors in the text - English is not my native language, I don’t know it very well, so I use Google translator.

[@damonweedon9865]

just got into hero factory a few weeks ago and just got core hunter today, yeah he's so cool

[@arrowrandoman]

At one point, I was messing around with a slim samurai MOC that would use the hand armor for the chest armor. Never went anywhere, but it makes for an interesting torso piece. Really slims the whoe thing.

[@asherroodcreel640]

I like the much more bulky torso and more powerful limbs of the mock, I don't think the grey plastic works at all noting to briged them to the smother components if their made to look built out of scrap, really I think what they should have done is give him a loose belt of stolen cores to contrast with all the smooth shapes and maybe an animaistic skull

[@Mate397]

I have this idea for a revamp for the guy, but I still haven't bought his helmet/mask to kick it off... I should also get to work on a Meltdown revamp too... Along with a few other HF characters -.-"
