Set Information

The set's canister

The set was released in early 2011 as one of the six canister Hero 2.0 sets. It consists of 31 pieces.

By combining pieces from Nex 2.0 with pieces from 2141 Surge 2.0, one can build a non-canon combination model. Pieces from Nex can also be combined with pieces from all five other Hero 2.0 sets in order to create Makuro-X1.

Features

The set's canister represents a Hero Pod in the story. On the back of the canister shows Nex and Surge combining into their combination model.

Collectibles

The set includes an orange helmet, gunmetal gray headgear, and green Hero Core. Nex has a white armor piece that has his name on it. Printed underneath the canister's lid is a 13-digit code, which was used to unlock Nex 2.0's portion of an online game called Creep Crushers from the HeroPad section of HeroFactory.com in early 2011.

Trivia

• This is the first Nex set. Nex never had a 1.0 set.
• In a preliminary poster, Nex was called "Mac Brainy". In Episode 10: Brain Attack, Mark Surge once called a Brain "Brainy," whch could be a reference to that fact.
