Plot[]
The movie stars with Rogue Gunther, the most famed explorer in Venture City, recovering a power crystal from a cavern. He finds a field of crystal and chooses the largest power crystal in the cavity. After removing the crystal, Rogue awakens the Molten Leader and is hunted through the tunnel. As he is about to escape, the Molten Leader blocks the exit with a pile of rocks. Rogue battles Molten Leader using the Mine Mechanoid, but is thrown out of the suit. Rogue, fearing this will be his final moment, is relieved upon finding a mound of wood. Rogue builds a catapult. The Molten Leader crushes the mech, only to realize that Rogue has ejected, and continues to chase him, until a tower collapses, trapping him momentarily. Rogue finishes the catapult and launches himself at the stone pile, knocking through them. As he is about to escape, the crystal heats up, with Rogue dropping it. The crystal shatters, revealing a newborn Lava Monster. Rogue gives the baby a pacifier and a stroller for it. Rogue returns the baby and asks for forgiveness. The Molten Leader is initially reluctant but decides to give him an energy crystal for his trouble.
Confirmed Information[]
Rogue versus a molten Quartz Leader
The film will star Rogue Gunther as the main character.
This film will incorporate characteristics of certain 1001 Spears franchises, bending them all into the story. It should be noted that no 1001 Spears properties involved with rival companies of Sony will appear, thus WWIII, Morphers, Marauders, and Macedon are not involved. This is not only due to Sony's rivalry with those companies, but the fact that Brendan wants to promote his other franchises.
A trailer for the film was shown before Biomecha: Chronicle Revival. The trailer begins with the Sony Pictures Animation logo, then the 1001 Spears logo, panning out to show it as the license plate of a speeding turbo car. It then shows Rogue Gunther, along with his team, going on many adventures to save the world. At the end of the trailer, Rogue duels a molten Quartz Leader from Venturian Battle: Future Mining, this is probably the rumored Magma Monarch.
Images of the film were featured in the January 2022 Triggerzine, featuring shots of Rogue wielding a broadsword, Rogue's squad as astronauts boarding the Universal Enforcer from Universe Unit to go Xeno, a knight fighting a cultist, and two zombie warriors.

Frightening & Intense Scenes[]
Moderate
The space jail is dark and scary, with the scene having jump-scares.
Compared to the rest of the film, the scene of the rising troop of zombies is surprisingly terrifying, even more so because two of the zombies are major comic relief characters.
There are countless other terrifying characters, but it turns out that some of them are peaceful. None of them are overly horrifying given that this is a family-friendly film.
Some of the zombies are murdered by getting cut up with green blood.
The protagonist has a very dark and disturbing backstory, having witnessed his father's killing. However, Rogue's story and arc are often more touching than depressing.
