"he's a brand new character he is the one that uses purple I know a lot of people have been looking for purple"
JANG's LEGO Reviews
Ecosystem
2010 Hero Factory sets — The new socket-and-ball connection system and new mold pieces represent a significant upgrade from 2010 sets, providing better articulation and build experience, though this comes at the cost of reduced compatibility with 2010 parts.
Glatorian sets — The new connector sockets have more robust 'lips' and appear more resistant than the older Glatorian connector designs.
Bohrok/Bohrok-Kal sets — The new shield/spear weapon design is reminiscent of these earlier BIONICLE shields but more complex and better-looking in the reviewer's assessment.
Dunkan Bulk — Evo 2.0 is positioned as the replacement character for Dunkan Bulk; reviewer acknowledges time will tell if Dunkan Bulk returns

"Overall, Evo 2.0 is a fantastic figure."
Key Pros
✓Fantastic color scheme with excellent purple, black, and metallics balance
✓Strong new socket-and-ball connection system that works smoothly and enables easier assembly with less effort
✓Excellent design aesthetics with impressive head-gear piece
Key Cons
✕New connection system limits MOCing compatibility with 2010 Hero Factory sets
✕Back angle/view is a weak spot in the overall design
Fundamental new building system introduced in 2011; all connectors have a ball at one end and socket at the other with small holes to reduce shock stress upon connection and enable easier, less-effort snapping together. Represents a major step forward from 2010 BIONICLE-based connectors.
Spike Flexible 3.5L in Purple
Recolored part available in purple for the first time; previously only available in standard Light Grey.
Head piece (Purple solid)
Solid purple color (not transparent) which reviewer finds more robotic and interesting than the trans-colored pieces from BIONICLE line; suitable for MOCs like War Machine.
Head-gear piece
Resembles a cow catcher from old locomotives or bulldozer blade; makes the hero look like an unstoppable close combat fighter.
New feet pieces
Feature flat portion with line of three holes; provides some of the few technic connection points in the set though reviewer is uncertain about aesthetic appeal.
Undercoat armor piece
Connects to body frame via socket-ball system rather than technic connections; reviewer compares to medieval knight undercoats.
