What reviewers are saying

"not a whole lot of interesting pieces on this one you know the the piece count is is a little bit on the low side as far as the the real hero factory building parts so not not the best for for mock makers"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"Out of all of the mechs, I think this one is just about second to last on my list of favorites."

Ecosystem

Ferno (Hero Factory set) — The cryo chamber on Stormer makes more thematic sense than the furnace on Ferno for capturing and preserving specimens

Jet Machine — Freeze Machine's build is slightly less inspiring than Jet Machine

Stealth Machine — Freeze Machine is possibly more unique than Stealth Machine

XL Machine — Freeze Machine improves on XL Machine with proper wrist articulation; XL containment pod kill from intense drop

large hand piece on front

Desirable transparent light blue color in the containment pod piece
Pearl dark gray Stormer XL feet
Recolored feet piece that adds unique aesthetic to leg design
Recolored paw piece
Used as hand/crotch plate in unique structural way
