The Furno Bike (originally known as the Blaze Bike)[FO:MSG, p. 20] was a vehicle used by William Furno on various missions.

History

Furno riding the Furno Bike

The cycle was created as an prototype[HFPM, p. 20] by the Hero Factory labs, then called the Blaze Bike. Once Alpha 1 Team member William Furno began using it, it was renamed to the Furno Bike. When training in the Training Sphere, Furno would use the bike as practice.

He brought the cycle on a training mission with Preston Stormer, which ended up going to a plantoid called Lemus 2 to face XPlode and Rotor. Furno went to his team's Drop Ship to retrieve his bike. On the bike, Furno was too fast for the criminal's Meteor Blaster shots, and he successfully defeated the villains, and captured Rotor.[Episode 1]

Later, when Stormer was infected with nanobots by Meltdown and fled into Makuhero City, Furno trailed Stormer to a billboard on the Furno Bike.[Episode 3]

At some point, Furno used the bike to help Dunkan Bulk challenge Vapor.[S!]

The Furno Bike prior to its destruction

When a Brain-possessed Dragon named Dragon Bolt chased Daniel Rocka into a Hero Factory storage room, the hero barred Dragon Bolt from entering, prompting the out-of-control creature to begin smashing the equipment around him. The Furno Bike got crushed by Dragon Bolt.[Episode 10]

Features

The Furno Bike is equipped with dual plasma blasters, which are a variation of the Meteor Blaster, and was built with a nucleonic engine.[HFPM, p. 13][FO:MSG, p. 20] It is incredibly fast.

Furno 1.0 could slighty change his armor to be able to use the Furno Bike.

There is more of the Furno Bike.[Episode 9] The Ultra Mach Speed Cycle is a variation of the bike that can function on icy ground.

Set Information

Trivia

  • Since the Furno Bike was a success with Furno, Hero Factory has been considering a cycle-based team for the future.[HFPM, p. 13] In Episode 9: Breakout Part 2, there are three Heroes who drive the same kind of motorcycles as the Furno Bike.
  • In early Hero Factory media, the bike was called the "Blaze Bike", as Furno's name was originally "William Blaze". The name Blaze Bike was later incorporated into the canon in Face Off: Makuro's Secret Guidebook.
  • In the Television Episodes, Comic 1: Trials of Furno, and Comic 3: The Enemy Within, when Furno was driving the Furno Bike, he does not seem to rebuild his body to able to use the bike. His original armor could fit onto the bike well.
  • In Comic 1, the bike can be summoned to Furno by an ultrasonic signal when Furno presses a button on his torso armor that can activate the signal.[C1, p. 10] However, in Episode 1, Furno went to his team's Drop Ship to retrieve the bike. So, it is likely that the fact with the ultrasonic signal is non-canon since the comic is based on a script for the episode.
