Not much of a comparison.

Hype time.

As much as I want to like it, it looks like a hero factory re-skin.

Hey look! Someone else watches TTV!

I hate how people keep saying "oh look hero factory pieces therefore hero factory reskin." IMO, Hero Factory was a series of tests by LEGO to find a better constraction method than what they had been using. They just made a new series so that they could have free reign over their building style without incurring fan backlash.

But the thing is, I loved the previous building system. This one makes it easier to use near identical frames just with different armor plating. There was really nothing wrong with the original system. I guess lego realized they were spending a lot on a massive amount of new molds.

Worthy of note:
- Onua appears to have a gear system (see those yellow things on his back?).
- The Protector of Earth appears to have the launcher-weapon (good to see they're continuing on with that ) embedded in its chest.
- Some sets (Pohatu and Kopaka, not sure if there are any more) have the piece used for Guurahk's Staff of Disintegration.
- The armor of some of the protectors resembles the original Mata/Nuva body piece.
- Personal speculation: The skull spiders will fit on the faces à la Krana.
- Personal speculation/observation: Gali's weapon resembles a giant version of her Nuva weapons, as does Kopaka's/Tahu's weapon. Lewa has two axes.
