A Multi-Tool Ice Shield, also known as an MTIS, is a special tool designed by the Hero Factory in response to Villains who have fire based attacks.

Five Heroes were known to have used an MTIS; all five Heroes have been refitted with new weaponry and armor, and no longer use an MTIS.

Functionality[]

The MTIS is designed to act as both an offensive and a defensive weapon for the Heroes. The shell is big enough to absorb high-temperature blasts and all shields are integrated with a built-in ice recharger. The shield is meant to be customized as a means of better suiting the wielder’s needs.

Users[]

Preston Stormer - Stormer's can shoot ice spikes, is armed with an ice blade, which freezes everything it touches, and is hooked up to a tube through which he can access his Hero Core.
William Furno - Furno's is equipped with rotating climbing hooks and cutting blades, and a Dual Fire Shooter, capable of shooting jets of fire.
Nathan Evo - Evo's is fortified with a double-barrel ice cannon and utility claw.
Julius Nex – Nex's is outfitted with super-hard steel slicing blades, two buzzsaws, pneumatic pincers. Nex's MTIS also has enhanced ice shooting abilities.
Rocka - Rocka's has a striking appearance as Evo's.

Example Usage[]

In Ordeal of Fire, Furno accidentally set off his Multi-Tool Ice Shield during Virtual Training, which resulted in him ramming into Quadal.

Set Information[]

A Multi-Tool Ice Shield was included in four of the six Hero Factory canister sets of early 2011. Counting the tube of Stormer’s shield and excluding the hand piece, each shield is composed of five of their set’s roughly 30 pieces.
A new weapon resembling a Multi-Tool Ice Shield was introduced in 2013, with a background image on the packaging that resembles the background image on Stringer's/Voltix's Breakout packaging.
In the TV series all Heroes have the Multi-Tool Ice Shields on their backs in both their 2.0., 3.0 and Breakout forms.

HeroFactory.com Description[]

In response to heat-based villainy, Hero Factory research & development teams have created the basic Multi-Tool Ice Shield (MTIS). This gadget functions as both a protective device for a Hero as well as a powerful weapon to take the fight to the bad guys. Its tough shell is large enough to absorb high-temperature blasts, and its built-in ice recharge brings things down to a manageable level.

The plain vanilla version of the MTIS can be customized by each Hero to suit their personal needs. For example, Furno has outfitted his with rotating climbing hooks and cutting blades. Stormer's can access his core using a tube, and shoots ice spikes and a freezing super blade. Evo favors a double-barrel ice cannon, and Nex has added pneumatic pincers, super-hard steel cutting blades, and enhanced the ice power up.

Trivia[]

The first Heroes to receive a Multi-Tool Ice Shield were Nathan Evo and Julius Nex.
Stringer and Bulk are the only heroes that never used Multi-Tool Ice Shields.
