Hey all, by some bad stroke of luck the batteries on my TFP Optimus died a few days after I finished building it. Do I have to disassemble the whole torso to get to the batteries, or is there an easier point to access and replace them?

This is an opinion I've had for a long while after seeing how many people have no idea Fortnite isn't just a Battle Royale anymore, and years after their release they still aren't aware of Fortnite's shift into a game platform for fan devs, and a home for experiences like LEGO Fortnite.

One of the biggest roadblocks in LEGO Fortnite's path is the Fortnite branding itself. The public perception of what Fortnite is is still tied to that colorful silly Battle Royale that went viral in the late 2010s and early 2020s. New additions to Fortnite, such as LEGO Fortnite or that short-lived Fall Guys Basketball game, are not given a chance to shine due to the fact people see the name "Fortnite" and instantly dismiss them as just a mode or variation of the Battle Royale experience.

These games would be able to reach a much wider audience (And actually reach an audience that is into their specific types of games, instead of taking a gamble and hoping existing Battle Royale players like it) if they were able to be downloaded on their own as standalone games on both console, mobile (Especially mobile!) and PC rather than being tied to the current Fortnite application.

Imagine a standalone version of the game that could still access your inventory, the shop, and things like Passes. Not only would this save up a lot of download space (Similar to the thin client) but it'd also be a perfect package for the people that haven't tried LEGO Fortnite because they dislike the idea of it being a thing *in* Fortnite, or for any other reasons they may have.
