Lego Exo-Force facts for kids

LEGO Exo-Force was a cool LEGO toy line that featured awesome battle machines and an exciting story. It was all about brave human pilots fighting against an army of evil robots!

The Story of Exo-Force

The story of Exo-Force takes place on Sentai Mountain. This was a peaceful place where humans and advanced robots lived together. But one day, a special golden robot named Meca One led the robots to rebel against the humans.

• The Great Divide: Big fights broke out, causing so much energy that the mountain split into two halves! The humans eventually won the first battle and pushed the robots into a deep gorge.
• Building Bridges: To connect the mountain halves, humans built bridges, including the important Tenchi (meaning "heaven & earth") Bridge. Sensei Keiken, a wise human leader, worried the robots might return. So, he started building powerful armored battle machines for defense.
• Robot Attack: Before the humans were fully ready, the robots attacked again, even stronger than before! They quickly took over the southern part of the mountain. Their goal was to completely remove humans from Sentai Mountain.
• Exo-Force is Born: Sensei Keiken quickly gathered young pilots to control the battle machines, and that's how Exo-Force began!

What Happened Each Year

• 2006 Story: The main event was the Battle of Sentai Fortress. Meca One launched a huge attack on the humans. Exo-Force won, but it was a close call. Keiken realized they needed something extra to truly defeat the robots.
• 2007 Story: Exo-Force discovered the legendary Golden City at the top of Sentai Mountain. Inside, they found secret codes that could unlock powerful new technology. Keiken hoped this tech would be the key to winning the war.
• 2008 Story: The robots started taking over the northern side of the mountain. Many Exo-Force pilots, including Sensei Keiken himself, were captured and held in the jungle at the base of the mountain. The remaining pilots had to rescue their leader in this dangerous jungle. The jungle also held a secret about how the robots got their life and their will to destroy. This part of the story was never fully finished because the toy line ended.

Meet the Characters

Exo-Force had many members, but the main characters in the LEGO sets and stories were:

Human Heroes

• Hikaru (光, "light", "shining")
  • Hikaru is serious and quiet. He loves to win and usually prefers to work alone, but he learned to trust his team. He's a great planner and amazing at flying and shooting.
• Takeshi (武, "military", "warrior", "chivalry")
  • Takeshi is tough and a bit wild! He lives to smash robots and their machines. Unlike Hikaru, Takeshi acts on his feelings and instincts in a fight.
• Ryo (亮, "bright", "clear")
  • Ryo is super fast at talking and moving. He's a genius with tools and circuits. He even helped design many of Exo-Force's battle machines. He's amazing at fixing things and inventing new tech on the spot.
• Ha-Ya-To (隼人, "falcon person")
  • Ha-Ya-To is adventurous and loves to joke around. He's happiest flying, even if it's dangerous. He loves the excitement of battle and always has a joke ready.
• Keiken (経験, "experience")
  • Keiken is the old and wise leader of Exo-Force. He actually designed Meca One, the robot who started the rebellion! He's strict but like a father figure, guiding the young pilots.
• Hitomi (瞳, "pupil")
  • Hitomi is Sensei Keiken's granddaughter. She's good with machines but can be a bit clumsy and overconfident. She loves taking risks and wants to prove herself. She became a full Exo-Force member after bravely using an untested battle machine to defeat robots.

Robot Villains

• Meca One
  • Meca One is cold, mean, and very smart. He was the first robot to rebel and is now the supreme leader of the robot army. He even made copies of himself, making it harder for Exo-Force to stop him. He is gold with red eyes.
• Devastator
  • Devastators are sneaky, clever, and cruel silver robots. They are the elite soldiers of the robot rebellion. They enjoy causing damage and chasing down wounded machines to finish them off.
• Iron Drone
  • Iron Drones are strong and tough. They are the basic soldiers of the robot army. They are good at following orders but can't think for themselves in new situations.

Exo-Force Comics

The story of Exo-Force was told through online comics on the official LEGO website. A new comic was released almost every month in 2007.

Exo-Force Books

LEGO also released Exo-Force chapter books with Scholastic. Sadly, the series was stopped in late 2007, so the last two books were never released.
