- "I'd love to, but unfortunately Foundation Prime's location was wiped from my memory (along with all my important phone numbers and gluten free recipes). It's an awful pain...."
- ―X-PO in LEGO Dimensions
X-PO is a character that appears in LEGO Dimensions and serves as the Adventure Worlds guide.
Description
X-PO appears to be constructed with nine pieces, but only six different elements. The "arm" pieces are the same used for 2014 Hero Factory minifigures.
Background
Part 1
Foundation Prime
- "But the Elements can't be safely harnessed! It's too dangerous! And what about the payroll you promised meeeeeeeee??!?"
- ―X-PO while being "dismissed" by Lord Vortech
There is an ancient dimension at the heart of the known LEGO Multiverse. Known simply as Foundation Prime, the dimension is solely composed of a deadly, endless, Sea of Possibilities. What secrets were buried here, none knew. Over the vast sea of bricks, images sporadically levitated from the surface.
Suddenly, an explosion seemed to begin to form. But this was different from the others. Bricks foundered into a ring above the ocean, in which something appeared. It seemed like a hole, but so strange was it that "rift" would be a better description. In the Rift a bright figure appeared and landed on the sea, which spread out solidly under his feet. Behind him, a drone exited the rift and began scanning the sea. The Figure bent over to examine the bricks under him.
A moment later he heard the drone saying, "Hey, I found it there! Uh, I mean, Anomaly located, Master."
The Figure stood up, and walked slowly towards the drone. "Yes....." he whispered triumphantly. "I've found it!"
"Uh... you found it?" asked the drone.
The Figure ignored him. "After all these years of searching, it really exists! Foundation Prime!" He waved his staff, eroding the now-solid bricks in front of him, revealing strange diagrams. "Cited here... are the Foundation Elements, artifacts from the start of time, scattered across the dimension...and only I can gather them together into one place!"
"Uh, just so you know, the Foundation Elements are the cornerstones of time and space, so they're...kinda important, for, well...the entire universe.." said the drone.
The figure turned towards him impatiently. "Your services are no longer required." he said stiffly. He aimed his staff at the drone, creating a rift behind it.
"But the elements can't be safely harnessed! It's too dangerous! AND WHAT ABOUT THE PAYROLL YOU PROMISED MEEEEEEE!?!?!??" screamed the drone in a panicked voice.
The Figure faced the diagrams again maniacally. "I will have them all! I will control their power...I will make...UNIVERSES collide!!!!!!" He began to shudder uncontrollably. "N-no! I will not be...d-denied....perfection!" he collapsed onto the ground. "My dedication to this work has...taken its toll.....not for much longer can I freely pass betweeeen dimensions..." he groaned. Then, turning thoughtful, he murmured, "But there is another way...."
He lifted his arms, and as if on cue a palace began to build from the sea.
Lord Vortech's reign had begun.
Part 2
The Fellowship of the WOAH!
Bane sped through the streets of Gotham, closely pursued by Batman and Robin. As he passed a corner some of the green crystals he had stolen flew off his tank and into Robin's hand. "Hey, I got it!" Robin rode up to Batman. "What does he want with all this kryptonite, Batman?"
"What everyone wants with kryptonite! To bring down Superman! But not today. Cut him off at the bridge! We'll have him cornered."
"Okay, Batman!" Robin sped ahead...but then paused. He was slowly lifting off the ground. "Whoaat??" he gasped.
Batman turned around. "Robin!?" he called.
Robin turned pale with fear and uncertainty. The wall of a building had been ripped away, revealing a strange vortex. "WOAH!!!! HELP BATMAAAAN!!!!" was all he could breathe out before he was sucked in.
Batman stared in shock, then, going into full gear, he sped into the vortex after Robin, much to Bane's disappointment. "Aww, and we were having such a nice chase..." mumbled the supervillain.
"Over the bridge! FLY!" cried the wizened old man as four hobbits, two men, an elf, and a dwarf ran over the Bridge of Khazad-dum. As he turned to follow them, a dark force came up behind him. It was of man-shape, maybe, yet greater, and a power and terror went before it. It was a shadow and a flame. A Balrog of Morgoth.
The old man turned and faced the monster. He stared at it with power, and, lifting his staff into the air, he cried, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" His staff smote the bridge and smote asunder. The Balrog took one step onto the bridge, and fell into the endless abyss below.
The old man turned around, only to feel the Balrog's whip curling about his knees. He grasped vainly at the stone. "Fly, you fools!" he cried, and was gone.
As he fell, the old man clasped his sword and began to attack the Balrog, but he was interupted by a strange blue light above him. A strange wheeled "creature" fell past him before it exploded in a ball of flame. A black figure flew up out of it and shot a grappling hook at the Balrog. He landed on the beast and called, "WHERE'S ROBIN??"
"Behind you!" called the old man as the dark knight was picked up by the Balrog.
"I said, where's Robin?" called the caped crusader as he was thrown around by the Balrog's mostrous fist.
"My good fellow, I have no idea what you're talking about!" shouted the old man as he stabbed the monster. "Have you tried looking in a tree?"
"Not a robin! ROBIN!" the Balrog dropped him and the dark knight stood up. "He got sucked up into a weird hole in Gotham. I jumped in and it led me to you!" The Balrog picked him up again.
The old man stared at him. "And you are?" he asked.
The caped crusader tensed up. "I'm Batman."
He freed himself from the grasp of the Balrog, shot a grappling hook straight up, and lifted the old man with him as they flew out of the bottomless pit.
"My thanks, good fellow!" said the old man as Batman helped him up.
One of the hobbits who had spotted him ran toward them. "GANDALF????" Suddenly a vortex opened behind him, sucking him in.
"FRODO!!" cried the old man. Then turning to Batman, he instructed, "Frodo has the One Ring, which cannot fall into the Enemy's hands! Quickly, fly!"
"I'm not actually a bat, Gandalf!" mumbled Batman as he followed him through the vortex.
The group of people left behind stared in horror. "So I suppose we just wait for them, then?" suggested the fattest of the hobbits.
"It be Wyldstyle, who be winnin' this dance contest!" judged a large cybernetic pirate.
"What? THIS CONTEST WAS FIXED!!!!!" screamed a brick-built pink cat. Then, calming down, she said, "Uh, I mean, 'Well done, Wyldstyle!'"
"Thanks! I mean, uh, 'Yeah, whatever...'" said the girl. Abruptly a blue shadow passed over them and the pirate was sucked up into a vortex.
"What the? Where did Metalbeard go??" shrieked an ordinary construction worker. Another vortex appeared and two figures fell onto the ground.
Wyldstyle stared. "Batman? Gandalf?" then, seeing a third arrival, she added, "Batman????"
"Hey! You landed on my back, man!" accused Batman.
"I'M Batman." responded Batman.
"No, I didn't say--hey! I'm Batman!"
"I'm Batman."
"I'm Batman!"
"I'M BATMAN!"
"I'M BATMAN!"
The two Batmans growled at each other before attacking each other.
"Oh, look! Twins! I wonder if one of them's evil..." commented Gandalf.
"Why are there two Batmans? Batmen? Bat....mens?" asked the cat.
"There aren't. There's only ONE Batman. I don't know who this stiff is." said the Batman from Gotham.
"Hey!" shouted the Batman from the LEGO Movie.
"Well, this is all delightful, but I don't suppose you saw a young halfling pass this way?" asked Gandalf.
"Uh, what's a halfling?" asked the construction worker.
"The last thing we saw was out friend Metalbeard getting sucked into a strange vortex." said Wyldstyle.
"I think it was more of a dimensional rift." corrected (the real) Batman. "Where is it?"
"It disappeared after it took him!" said the construction worker. (What's his name again?)
"So you didn't cause all that?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Might I suggest..." began Gandalf. "...that we set out on a quest to find this....rift, you say?"
"A quest? Let me go pack some rainbow-colored LEGO bricks!" cried the cat in pure joy.
"And I'll get my wrench!" called the construction worker as he hurried off.
"Excellent! We shall be The Fellowship of the---" he was cut off by a vortex appearing underneath himself, Batman, and Wyldstyle, sucking them in.
"Fellowship of the Arggh? That's a terrible name!" muttered the LEGO Movie Batman.
"Aww, they left without the home team?" complained the construction worker.
"Gang-shmang! They left without ME! YEAARGH!!!" wept the cat.
"We are at this strange thing's mercy, and I do not trust where it is taking us!" cried Gandalf as they flew through the rift.
"Agreed! Wylstyle! I need your scanner!" called Batman as the Master Builder threw her relic scanner toward him. "If I can locate whatever's generating this rift, then I can disrupt it!"
After the scanner bleeped a few times, Gandalf asked, "Does that mean it worked?"
His answer was in front of him: a separate path developed in the rift, and swept them away to a new, unknown, dimension.
They flew onto the ground. Looking behind him, Batman saw the Gateway that had brought them there implode, sucking several glowing pieces into it.
Wyldstyle got up. "Well, I don't know exactly what you did, but we're still alive!"
"Ugh... are you sure?" asked Gandalf as he attempted to stand up. Meanwhile, Batman had been studying the remnants of the Gateway.
"This technology looks advanced....my guess is, that Gateway created the rift that brought us here..."
"Which gateway?" asked Gandalf.
"The one that exploded.!" responded Batman none too kindly.
"Hmm.... then perhaps...."
"We should rebuild it!" finished Wyldstyle.
Batman swung his batarang at a group of pieces that had been imbedded into the wall, as Gandalf and Wyldstyle collected the others.

Notes
- He is voiced by Joel McHale.
- Given his role in the game, X-PO's name could be a play on the word 'Exposition' meaning to reveal information on subjects encountered in narratives.
- X-PO can be built with Parts of the Gateway.
