Biography

Nitroblast attacking Heroes

At some point, Nitroblast was built. He was once an ordinary Mining Robot in Tallos 5.

He became insane due to being overpowered with fuel and joined Fire Lord's gang. During his time as a member of the gang, he became wanted in half of the galaxy for arson, assault, extortion, and theft of government property.(shown in a Lego Magazine in early 2011)

Ordeal of Fire

Nitroblast accompanied Fire Lord to Tanker Station 22, where he helped fight and drive off the Alpha 1 Team. When the Heroes were pulling back, Nitroblast fired on them, but they still escaped with the station's workers when Surge threatened to destroy some of the station's fuel. Surge was captured by Jetbug, and the criminals took control of the station.

Nitroblast noticed the arrival of the newly upgraded Heroes when they returned, and warned Fire Lord. Nitroblast watched as Fire Lord dueled Preston Stormer and as Breez and Furno tried to escape Drilldozer. When Nathan Evo and Julius Nex arrived, Nitroblast, Drilldozer, and Fire Lord inquired about Evo's methodical nature before he suddenly attacked them. Nitroblast tumbled off the edge of the station, but was saved by Nex, and Evo put Nitroblast in handcuffs. The Heroes then brought the villains back to the Factory, to be treated for their instabilities.[Episode 5] Nitroblast was imprisoned in Hero Factory's Villain Storage.[Episode 8]

Breakout

Nitroblast, along with all other villains, later escaped the Hero Factory in the Breakout, caused by Voltix.[Episode 8] Nitroblast blames the Hero Factory for the "death" of Fire Lord because of their gang's imprisonment, even though Fire Lord is actually still alive, and wants revenge.[FO:MSG] Later, Nitroblast got recaptured.[SM4]

Abilities and Traits

Althought Nitroblast is a powerful and destructive, he is actually as much of a planner as a doer. He is patient and methodical.[FO:MSG] Nitroblast is the craftiest and most intelligent of Fire Lord's henchmen, often having been the one to bring down any security systems before a break-in. He is an expert safecracker. He is deeply loyal to Fire Lord, a point of derision even amongst his fellow criminals. Like his gang, Nitroblast can absorb energy, including fuel, and he is addicted in getting fuel.

Nitroblast has a long arm-like appendage that connects his back to his left arm.

Set 2194 Nitroblast

Tools

Nitroblast carried a Lava Sphere Shooter and a Plasma Blowtorch. He also had a claw blade, that could fire flaming beams at enemies. All of his weapons are confiscated when he is imprisoned at the Hero Factory building. Nitroblast has heated spikes on his armor. He has a spiked tank with fuel cells mounted on his left shoulder, and it has a hose that connects it to the Plasma Blowtorch. Nitroblast's mask's left eye part has a multi-purpose laser scope, which looks like a large green eye.

Set Information

Set 2194 Nitroblast was a medium-sized boxed set released in the first half of 2011. It contains 57 pieces including a firing Lava Sphere Shooter.[Box]

Trivia

  • Nitroblast was voiced by Stephen Stanton in Ordeal of Fire.
  • In Nitroblast's set's front box art, his tube connects his right shoulder to the Plasma Blowtorch. However, according to the set's building instructions, this is an error, as the tube connects his left shoulder, on the part that holds his tank, to the Plasma Blowtorch.
