Silver

"It was supposed to be a routine Hero response to a bulgary in progress. So team leader Thresher took two rookies along with him. And it all seemed routine until they found themselves against this hulking drone. Packing enough plutonium-cryptide canisters to level half the city."
― William Furno, Von Nebula

"Silver" was a giant drone that attacked New Stellac City.

Biography

The Alpha 1 Team attacking the drone

At some point, "Silver" is built. Its origin is unknown.

Prior to Silver's attack, a burglary report from New Stellac City was sent to Hero Factory's call center, and Hero Factory sent Alpha 1 Team in response. By the time Thresher, Von Ness, and Preston Stormer arrived, "Silver" had attacked the city, and the Heroes were forced to take on the robot. Thresher charged the robot while protecting the rookies from it, but was defeated by the drone. After a brief argument with Von Ness over whether to attack or wait for backup, Stormer attacked the robot, expecting Von Ness to guard Thresher. However, Von Ness boarded the Drop Ship and fled for fear that the robot would destroy him if he stayed with Thresher and Stormer. After attempting to stop Von Ness, Stormer jumped off of the Drop Ship while it was flying and used his ice weapon to take out the robot's visual receptors, afterwards landing on the drone's back. Stormer then crossed the power cables of the robot, destroying it.

A monument in Stormer's honor was afterwards erected from the drone's remains. This area was later chosen by Von Ness, who became a villain called Von Nebula, as the site of his final confrontation with Stormer. When four of the members of Alpha 1 defeated Von Nebula's minions, one of these Heroes, Dunkan Bulk, collected a metal beam on the robot, and he, along with another named Jimi Stringer, wrapped it around the criminals to keep them from escaping.^{[Episode 4][C4]}

Abilities and Traits

"Silver" was a giant powerful drone. It was large enough to grab a 1.0 Hero.^[C4] It had thick armor, as it could not be damaged by shots from Stormer and Thresher's weapons. The drone had two plutonium-cryptide canisters, each loaded with six explosives, making twelve explosives in total, and these explosives were enough to level half of New Stellac City. Each explosive could make a large explosion when it hit the ground hard. The canisters are stored on the drone's shoulders. It also had a blaster on each arm, which could shoot explosive green bolts of energy.^{[Episode 4][C4]}

Trivia

The winning model of BBC Contest 53

• "Silver" was created by BZPower member Varderan for their BIONICLE Based Creation Contest 53, a building contest sponsored by LEGO. LEGO judged the entrants and ranked the winners, eventually using Silver in the Hero Factory TV series and Comic 4: Von Nebula Rising.
  • The plutonium-cryptide canisters resemble the Cordak Blasters from BIONICLE. In Comic 4: Von Nebula Rising, the canisters can shoot the explosives, like the Cordak Blasters.
  • The blasters on the drone's arms resemble the Midak Skyblasters/Force Blasters from BIONICLE.
• In Episode 4: Von Nebula, William Furno stated that the drone had enough plutonium-cryptide canisters to level half New Stellac City, as one of the drone's explosives was used to destroyed a small part of the city, but in Comic 4: Von Nebula Rising, Furno said that the drone had enough canisters to level the city. Since the comic is based on a script for the episode, Furno's explanation in the episode is canon.
• In Episode 4: Von Nebula, when Silver was destroyed, it was slightly damaged, but in Comic 4: Von Nebula Rising, it was melted into slab. Since the comic is based on a script for the episode, the depiction in the episode is canon.
