Another piece I didn't realize I had. But I haven't gotten out 7148 in a long while.

This part doesn't look good for your health with the sickly green glow... where's the EPA when you need them?!?

@Murdoch17: Considering that the only set with this element in this color was named Meltdown and had a face designed to look like a radiation symbol, I don't think they exist in the Hero Factory universe. Or if they do exist, they're not very effective.

I can say in all honesty that this is the most obscure part I’ve seen in this series. Seems pretty useful for lab MOCs.

I don’t have any pics posted with this piece, but I did make some variants of this energy beam where I used one of these with half a spiked ball instead of a full spiked ball at the end.

I tried rebuilding my Meltdown model earlier this year. The biohazard stickers started peeling off of this piece, I'll have to get a replacement some time

@PurpleDave: WOW...good looking Hal...wonder: would a Vidiyo head work for G'nort...I'll show myself out:)

@brick_r:
I don’t think there’s anything of the actual minifig that didn’t come from 76025, at least not as pictured, but I did put a of work into designing various constructs for my Green Lantern Corps to use. As for the members, the only four I can remember making based on actual DC characters were John Stewart (they have since released an official version), Kyle Raynar, Sinestro (from when he was training Hal, before he became a villain), and Bruce Wayne (from the Elseworlds title In Darkest Knight). Mostly I just tried to figure out some unusual looking original aliens, or pulled known characters into service (Toy Story’s Claw Alien, Harry Potter’s Dobby, SpongeBob’s Patrick, Star Wars’ Yoda, etc).

@PurpleDave : Yeah...TLG could just 'mine' DC's GLC for character, and could do so 'til the sun goes cold...but NOOOOO...which is a shame, I was re-watching 'Lego DC: Justice League vs Bizarro League' and...where's Guy Gardner...the DVD had Batzarro, which was daft ("Great; the weak, backwards 'clone' of Bats...Thanks TLG...")...Hmmm...I wonder: do you think anyone turned one of those wooden 'maxifigs' into Giganta? Could also see: Atom, Atom Smasher, Giant Man (for Marvel Zom...er 'fans':))...

Disappointed by the lack of Hero Factory lore in these comments

@brick_r: Even if Lego did start doing more Green Lanterns, I wouldn't expect to see Mogo, except as a playset. A man can dream, though...

I miss Hero Factory.

@TheOtherMike:
But Kilowog, Tomar-Re, and (paint the new squirrel) Ch’p seem like glaring omissions in a GLC that’s, currently, 100% human, as does the fact that Sinestro is the only representative of the entire range of Lantern Corps outside of Green. Heck, Sinestro got a retail release, and a CMF, while the closest any Green has got is the same retail set as well as an SDCC exclusive movie costume.

The part certainly looks very random to me.
