Line 26: * [[Space Plane]]: Given the art depicting spaceships navigating atmospheres and the absence of specialized sets for planetary launches there’s no reason to believe that any of the ships can’t break orbit under their own power. * [[Space Suits Are Scuba Gear]]: Helmets, hosed oxygen tanks and cool uniforms are the only things between a minifigure and the cold, unforgiving void. * [[Standard Sci -Fi Fleet]]: No set builds a craft bigger than a scale corvette or frigate (probably due to the economy of making sets large enough to accommodate larger craft), but everything from there down is represented fairly thoroughly. * [[What Could Have Been]]: Many concepts for [[Aquazone]] were originally created for use in a Space theme, Seatron, taking place on an aquatic planet. However, when Aquazone was actually released, it was as a separate sci-fi theme with no stated location. ---- Line 86: * [[Aerith and Bob]]: Giving wheeled land vehicles crazy names seems to be a Blacktron tradition; Just ask the Grid Trekkor [sic] and Tri-Wheeled Tyrax. Ships and mechs are still named with actual words. ** This doesn’t extend to the Spectral Starguider for some reason. * [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: The [http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=1875-1 Meteor Monitor], a Blacktron I set released in 1990 (as a two-year outlier to the faction’s other releases), has a design that incorporates small amounts of white; This could be seen as a sort of missing link between the iterations of Blacktron. * [[Electric Boogaloo]]: Listed on the box as Blacktron: Future Generation. Only oddly named in that no other faction has a name in this format. * [[Generation Xerox]]: Averted. While the vehicle variety matches its predecessor’s fairly closely, Blacktron II is its own animal in most other senses. Line 124: * [[I Am Not Shazam]]: The faction’s name is not Ice Planet. In fact, the name of the group isn’t really mentioned in any of the supplemental material. * [[Lost Tribe]]: Given the similarities in their faction logos and their mutual civilian scientist roles it’s possible that the colonists of Krysto are a splinter group of Futurons. * [[Orange -Blue Contrast]]: In the sets themselves as opposed to the art. Pair the blue and neon orange coupling with splashes of black and white and the sets gain a very striking color motif based around balancing opposites. * [[Single Biome Planet]]: Krysto; Basically [[Star Wars\|Hoth]] but with none of the native wildlife. * [[The Smurfette Principle]]: This was the first Space set to include an explicitly female minifigure, complete with [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics\|lipstick and earrings]]. Line 151: * [[Cool Shades]]: [[Leader\|Unitron Chief’s]] got some nifty space-mirrorshades. * [[Cool Train]]: The Monorail Transport Base features a space monorail, evocative of Futuron’s Monorail Transport System. * [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: The Monorail Transport Base set was released early in 1994 along with the bulk of the Spyrius sets, a good several months before the rest of Unitron and before the faction’s name was even published! * [[More Dakka]]: Unitron’s MO is to load down ships with weapons for effective offense and defense. * [[No Export for You]]: The majority of Unitron was only released in America; Only the Monorail Transport Base saw international release. (This could have something to do with the aforementioned [[Early -Bird Cameo]].) * [[Oddly Small Organization]]: Probably more of an Oddly Non-Diverse Organization, same as the Space Police II entry. Line 182: * [[Oddly Small Organization]]: Same as above entries. * [[Phlebotinum Battery]]: All Roboforce mecha are fueled by “robo disks.” [[MST3K Mantra\|Don’t think about it too hard.]] * [[Shout -Out]]: The Robo Master set contains a small escape vehicle with a sweep wing design very similar to the Unitrons’ Star Hawk II. Popular opinion is that this was done as a nod by LEGO to the surprising reception of the previous set. * [[Theme Naming]]: Robo Raptor, Robo Stalker, Robo Master… [[Captain Obvious\|hmm]]… Line 225: [[Category:LEGO Themes]] [[Category:LEGO Space]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
