WHERE ARE MY TECHNIC FIGURES?!?
And on the bumper is that all one huge sticker? Or is it printed. It looks printed but seems very detailed for a print.
I suppose this set is technically a Robo-Rider?
Adjustable suspension!!
I checked the other sets, too... Not the best of years for Lego.
There are certain elements that make me bring up a little bit of sick:
That canopy... thing.
@your future president: no, that headpiece is all printed. it and a couple of others were used for the roboriders line, of which this is a weird little microfighter version
From Lego's era of weirdly photoshopped action! packaging that barely made it clear what you were actually buying.
A very weak design.
I was just wondering when huwbot would get to RoboRiders... it was just a matter of time.
Baby Roborider? Apparently so.
I dunno, I kinda liked the RoboRiders line... *kinda*. It didn't have the interest factor of Slizers, which came before them, but... I guess they had a sort of stylization to them that I did like, after I got a couple of the full-size ones. Or maybe that's just the shameless nostalgia of an old fan of Bionicle (and its predecessors) talking xD
The set I had that was closest to this was the City Slizer/Throwbot 8502 (1999).
