LEGO Hero Factory MOC: Lennick 3.0

If you were to find yourself trekking through the Savage Planet forests on a LEGO Hero Factory "bring your human to work" day, chances are from time to time you'd think you saw the blur of a giant insect darting from tree to tree, high up in the canopy.  That's no insect, that's our defensive "eyes in the sky," Lennick 3.0:

• Role: Scout
• Weapon: Clawed rope dart
• Animal power: Green Lacewing
• Special ability: Burst flight

Lennick is a fidgety, high-energy hero who speaks fast, yet softly, and has an exceedingly kind and caring personality.  He is generally deployed as either a forward scout on offensive missions, or light escort for exploratory excursions.  His "wings" are actually high-volume ultrasonic resonance sails that allow him to glide at a fixed altitude (such as going from tree to tree or crossing a gulley) for about six seconds at a time.  In an emergency, he can overcharge them and, with the help of a springing leap, ascend up to 150 vertical meters.

Lennick's weapon is his own design.  The head features a single ultra-hard piercing spike opposite a two-pronged claw intended to grab onto surfaces for rappelling.  This is attached to a strong polyorganic tether that combines properties of natural rubber and cellulose fiber.  He wields the weapon in countless ways like a traditional Eastern rope dart, seamlessly transitioning between offensive and defensive moves with fast-paced twirls and jabs.
