In the Exo-Force storyline, humans are at war against robots that have malfunctioned and are now bent on total domination. The Gate Assault set comes with 402 pieces and a full-color, illustrated instruction booklet that diagrams construction of the robot attack tank in 13 steps, robot mech in 15 steps, the human mech in 16 steps, and the gate defenses in 20 steps with several ministeps along the way. The instructions also show images, though not diagrams, of alternate models Swift fighter and Blockade Bulldozer. This set comes with two human pilot minifigs and two Devastator robot pilot minifigs. Humans have spiky, anime-style hair that cover the back of their head and hides the fact that the head parts have two expressions to choose from: angry and berserk. Inside the box you'll find four gate pieces, four numbered part bags, sheet of 37 decals, and the instruction booklet. Numbered parts bags make it easier to build the set in stages since the numbers correspond to discreet sections of the building diagrams. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. Parents should note that a blunt, rubber, spring-loaded missile shoots about five feet from the completed model. It's not enough to do anything but pretend damage, but in the wrong hands, it could be used to make a younger sibling cry. --Porter B. Hall
