Development
Matt Lee first had the idea for a new series of Hero Factory films while on vacation in New Zealand in 2016.

Liam Benson, who had directed or co-directed all but one of the previous Hero Factory films, signed on to direct the film, as he wanted to make a film that his grandsons could see.

Production
Filming took place in El Kadsre City, Madwyn and the Cicmpillici quarry. The special effects were produced by Fuse Special Effects (with assistance from Nova FX Studio, Magic VFX & Animation and Rendering Associates) and El TV Kadsre Imageworks.
