[edit] Setting
[edit] Protagonists
There are six main characters and a whole lot of other minor characters. The six main characters are Hikaru, Takeshi, Ryo, Ha-Ya-To, Hitomi and Sensei Keiken who is the leader of the Exo-Force.
[edit] Robots
The robots are the opposing enemies of Exo-Force. Once they were used by the Exo-Force to mine resources and other materials from Sentai Mountain until they turned against them. There are six classes of robots that are used for battle in the robot army. There is the Devastator, Green Devastator, Red Devastator and Blue Devastator which are used in the front lines of battles to help Meca One who is the leader of the robots. Meca One has cloned himself and has done so because if he is killed in battle he can be reincarnated. The last class of robot is the Iron Drone. It is the most standard type of robot and the easiest to mass-produce. It cannot think. Once it locks onto an enemy it will keep shooting it until it is destroyed then it will lock onto the nearest target. The big robots take more of a mecha look, probably to keep the line from looking like Star Wars or Bionicle. They are controlled by the characters/minifigures.
[edit] Special Features
[edit] Power cores
The power cores were only released in 2006. They lit up when a button was pressed. In some of the sets, a fiber-optic cable was included which also lit up. This was used to "power up" the battle machine. In the standard 2006 battle machines (7700-7703, 7712, Silent Strike in 7709) a "chimney" was also included which ejected the power core when pressed. All of the sets included a Power core apart from 7708 and 7711.
[edit] Exo-Codes
The Exo-Codes were first released in 2007. They essentially replaced the 2006 Power cores. They were able to be typed into LEGO.com, unlocking info about the sets and new downloads, depending on which batle machine the codes were for. Not all of the codes for a single battle machine were unique.
[edit] 2007
The 2007 Exo-Codes were printed onto a small brick, making them portable. Oncve they were entered into the Golden City computer they unlocked something for the Exo-Force team, depending on the code. There was one in all the 2007 sets. The computer was included in 8107 Fight for the Golden Tower. All of the 2007 codes had 8 characters and they also all started with "XF".
[edit] 2008
Unlike the 2007 Exo-Codes, the 2008 ones were stickers. They were also not so portable, being put on different shaped bricks for many of the models. They were generally on the cockpit, although not always, as in 8114 Chameleon Hunter. Some of the 2008 Exo-Codes had only seven characters.
[edit] Story
The story in 2006 was centered around Sentai Fortress and the robots attacking it. At the end of 2006, however, Takeshi, Hikaru, and Ryo were sent to find the lengendary Golden City. At the end of 2007, Sensei Keiken was captured by the robots. The four heroes are sent to find him, leaving Hitomi in charge.
