History Toys / LEGOUltraAgents

** The graphic and model designers of the Hurricane Heist set are fans of ''Franchise/MetalGear'' and it shows. Not only does Pysclone's HumongousMecha resemble the Metal Gear mechs, but the HUD on the windshield is clearly modeled after the ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' codec screen and even has the listed frequency 140.15, which is Meryl's frequency in the ''Metal Gear Solid'' games. Even better, the series' creator, Hideo Kojima is a huge fan of LEGO, so this is their way of complimenting him!

* HumongousMecha: Psyclone's vehicle of choice is a massive ''Franchise/MetalGear''-inspired mech.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Used with many of the villains, but most jarring with Toxikita, who has a ContraltoOfDanger. Averted with Terabyte and Infearno.

LEGO Ultra Agents is often considered a SpiritualSuccessor to Toys/LEGOAgents, with numerous sets bearing parallels to the previous line, most notably [[BaseOnWheels 70165 Ultra Agents Mission HQ]]. However, whereas LEGO Agents and Toys/LEGOAlphaTeam were based on SpyFiction, Ultra Agents has a more fantastic and futuristic approach with barely any focus on spies; less like ''Franchise/JamesBond'', more like ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. Ultra Agents also acts as a StealthSequel to ''LEGO Galaxy Squad'' and ''LEGO Monster Fighters'', featuring the return of Solomon Blaze from the former line.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Most of the Ultra Agents, including Solomon Blaze, Jack Fury, Curtis Bolt, Caila Phoenix, and Christina Hydron.
* BadassDriver: Agent Burns, who is a 7 times world champion stunt driver.

* SupernaturalIsPurple: [=AntiMatter=] and anything associated with him. His technology is purple, as are his portals, and even the flames on his oil rig hideout!

* AllThereInTheScript: The LEGO Group sent LEGO Stores [[http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=90203&st=825#entry1921154 a product description for Ultra Agents]] which reveals that Lord Vampyre's moonstones are responsible for creating the RoguesGallery. This description also confirmed that Solomon Blaze is the same character from Galaxy Squad. Humorously, [=AntiMatter=] uses the moonstone piece on his glider platform.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: While most of the villains seem to be corrupted humans, Toxikita henchman Retox stands out. Since he's completely made of sludge, it's difficult to tell if he was transformed like Adam Acid. His lack of an exposed nasal cavity and damaged teeth (seen on the acid part of Adam's face) seem to indicate a different origin, but it's unclear whether or not he was ever human at all. Infearno has a furnace visible through his armor, and is constantly on fire, so it's unclear whether or not he is human. His realistically burnt-looking face seems to suggest he is, but the armor he wears raises some questions.
** It is now revealed that each of the villains was human, but transformed by [=AntiMatter=]'s portals.
* ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire: Spyclops takes it in a different direction from his similarly-named predecessor. He's a cyborg with mechanical spider limbs on his back, half of his face replaced with spiderlike cybernetics, and a few other body parts to go with the motif. He pilots a spider walker and controls robot spiders.

* BaseOnWheels: Ultra Agents Mission HQ.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Suggested to be the case with the RoguesGallery. Tremor and Toxikita once had lives before the Moonstones corrupted them, and in Toxikita's case, she was a respected environmentalist before being turned into a PoisonousPerson. This has later been changed inside the theme to keep it self-contained.

* CallBack: There are a few references to previous themes.
** Solomon Blaze is now a retired veteran of the Galaxy Squad and founded the Ultra Agents.
** The names of Infearno and Spyclops are thought to be Call Backs to [[Toys/LEGOAgents Dr. Inferno and Spy-Clops]], respectively.
** Even if there's no canon connection, it's no coincidence that one of the villains reuses Break Jaw's helmet piece in gold.

* CityOfAdventure: Astor City.
* CoolBoat: The Ultra Agents Ocean HQ. The Agents Quad Bike and Invizable's flyer can turn into these.

* {{Cyborg}}: Terabyte and Spyclops.
* DemolitionsExpert: Caila Phoenix.

* EvilBrit: Infearno has a nasally British accent.
* EvilGenius: Terabyte is noted for his genius-level intellect.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Used with many of the villains, but most jarring with Toxikita. Let's just say her voice is NOT what you would expect from her appearance. Averted with Terabyte and Infearno.
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:AntiMatter's weapon and backstory are similar to that of Von Ness[=/=]Von Nebula of ''Toys/HeroFactory''.]]

* HumongousMecha: Psyclone's vehicle of choice.

* TheLeader: Solomon Blaze.
* MadBomber: Infearno.
* MagmaMan: Infearno.
* MeaningfulName: Most of the villains. Infearno is a MagmaMan, Terabyte is a {{Cyborg}} hacker ("terabyte" is literally "a trillion bytes"), Psyclone specializes in creating [[DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud tornadoes]], and Toxikita, Retox, and Adam Acid are [[PoisonousPerson Poisonous People]]. Spyclops is a spiderlike cyborg with [[{{Cyclops}} one robot eye in the middle of his forehead]], Invizable is...[[{{Invisibility}} guess]], Drillex is obsessed with [[ThisIsADrill drills]], and [=AntiMatter=] can create portals of evil.
** Professor Brainstein sounds like a PunnyName at first, but when he turns into a cyborg with a BrainInAJar in the third wave of sets, it gains a more direct meaning.

* OneWayVisor: Terabyte and Tremor have these. [=AntiMatter=]'s is transparent, but his head behind the mask doesn't reveal anything. Drillex has opaque goggles.

* PunnyName: Infearno and Psyclone.

* RedEyesTakeWarning:

* SuperVillain: The Ultra Agents' RoguesGallery consists of these.
* StealthSequel: To LEGO Monster Fighters and LEGO Galaxy Squad. See AllThereInTheManual above.

** [[spoiler:Morgan '''Lux'''.]]

* ThirdPersonPerson: Tremor, as depicted in the app comics.

* KaleidoscopeHair: Agent Caila Phoenix has pink hair in the first wave of sets, but blue in the second wave.

* KaleidoscopeHair: Agent Caila Phoenix. In the first wave of sets, she had pink hair. But then, it's [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue]] in the second wave.

* FrickinLaserBeams: The weapon of choice for most characters in this line.

* BadassGrandpa: Both Psyclone and Solomon Blaze are older men, but they're very capable.

** To hint at his being a former boxer, Tremor quotes Muhammad Ali. "Tremor floats like a butterfly..."

* SensoryAbuse: In the app, [=SharX=]'s voice is so loud and grainy-sounding, it sounds like recording microphone was being blown out.

* TheCorrupter: A new video on the website reveals that the villains were civilians who passed through portals set by (an unnamed) [=AntiMatter] in each district of the city. A firefighter is shown being transformed into Infearno in this way, making the civilians the opposite of what they stood for.

* OneWayVisor: Terabyte and Tremor have these. [=AntiMatter]'s is transparent, but his head behind the mask doesn't reveal anything. Drillex has opaque goggles.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: The player Agent in the app has a bizarre voice, since it tries to be "neutral. The lack of any identifiable affectations makes it sound like its own weird accent, and not the neutral "guy from anywhere" they were going for.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Suggested to be the case with the RoguesGallery. Tremor and Toxikita once had lives before the Moonstones corrupted them, and in Toxikita's case, she was a respected environmentalist before being turned into a PoisonousPerson. This has later been changed inside the theme to keep it self-contained.

This description also confirmed that Solomon Blaze is the same character from Galaxy Squad. Humorously, Anti-Matter uses the moonstone piece on his glider platform.

** It is now revealed that each of the villains was human, but transformed by [[=AntiMatter=]]'s portals.
* ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire: This Spyclops takes it in a different direction. He's a cyborg with mechanical spider limbs on his back, half of his face replaced with spiderlike cybernetics, and a few other body parts to go with the motif. He pilots a spider walker and controls robot spiders.

* BigBad: A hooded figure is seen communicating with Psyclone and Terabyte in the sets, and in the app, tries to enter the HQ. Each villain has a connection to this figure. Come Wave 2 of Ultra Agents, he is revealed to be called [[=AntiMatter.=]]

* TheCorrupter: A new video on the website reveals that the villains were civilians who passed through portals set by (an unnamed) [[=AntiMatter]] in each district of the city. A firefighter is shown being transformed into Infearno in this way, making the civilians the opposite of what they stood for.

* {{Irony}}: Each of the villains was an ordinary civilian who passed through portals set by [[=AntiMatter=]] in the city. As a result, each one turned into a supervillain with the same base theme, but twisted toward evil.

* MeaningfulName: Most of the villains. Infearno is a MagmaMan, Terabyte is a {{Cyborg}} hacker ("terabyte" is literally "a trillion bytes"), Psyclone specializes in creating [[DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud tornadoes]], and Toxikita, Retox, and Adam Acid are [[PoisonousPerson Poisonous People]]. Spyclops is a spiderlike cyborg with [[{{Cyclops}} one robot eye in the middle of his forehead]], Invizable is...[[{{Invisibility}} guess]], Drillex is obsessed with [[ThisIsADrill drills]], and [[=AntiMatter=]] can create portals of evil.

** Spyclops has light green eyes
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A few. Adam Acid, Psyclone, Infearno, and [[=AntiMatter=]] are all awesome and threatening sounding villain names.
* OneWayVisor: Terabyte and Tremor have these. [[=AntiMatter]]'s is transparent, but his head behind the mask doesn't reveal anything. Drillex has opaque goggles.

* RoguesGallery: Unlike Toys/LEGOAlphaTeam and Toys/LEGOAgents, which had a single BigBad and his henchmen, LEGO Ultra Agents instead features an ensemble of {{Super Villain}}s who are causing trouble in Astor City. [[spoiler: It actually turns out there is a villain controlling each of them, due to be in the largest set of the second wave of Ultra Agents. The only visible indication of this in the sets, however, is that Spyclops, Drillex, and Invizable have Anti-Matter's symbol (a portal-like spiral) on their vehicles.]]

* SupernaturalIsPurple: Anti-Matter and anything associated with him. His technology is purple, as are his portals, and even the flames on his oil rig hideout!

* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:Ultra Agent Morgan Lux worked on dangerous experiments with a special weapon. The result destroyed him and left him as the being known as Anti-Matter, with a staff that creates portals that transform civilians into supervillains.]]

* XtremeKoolLetterz: Invizable. This is oddly fitting, since he's a combination of the Invisible Man and a pimp. [[=SharX=]]` also counts.

* RadiationImmuneMutants: Toxikita, since she's able to steal pollutonium

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Downplayed, but Toxikita wears a ripped tank top that exposes her middriff, while the agents all have full suits on.

* XtremeKoolLetterz: Invizable. This is oddly fitting, since he's a combination of the Invisible Man and a pimp. SharX also counts.

* ShockAndAwe: A lightning-themed villain will appear in the third wave of sets.

* XtremeKoolLetterz: Invizable. This is oddly fitting, since he's a combination of the Invisible Man and a pimp.

** Even if there's no canon connection, it's no coincidence that one of the villains reuses Break Jaw's helmet piece in orange.
