Blacktron

Blacktron I

The LEGO Blacktron theme was a popular space-themed line of LEGO sets and minifigures that was first introduced in 1987. The theme is based on a storyline where the Blacktron faction is a group of space-faring thieves and smugglers who are in conflict with the Space Police, who are trying to maintain order and stop the Blacktron's nefarious activities.

The Blacktron sets and minifigures are known for their distinctive black and yellow color scheme, which gives them a menacing appearance. The sets include spaceships, vehicles, and space stations, many of which feature unique play features and functions, such as hidden compartments and opening cockpits.

The Blacktron theme was popular among LEGO fans in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the sets and minifigures remain popular among collectors today. The Blacktron theme was also notable for being one of the first space-themed LEGO lines to include a storyline and a range of unique minifigures with distinctive personalities and backstories.

Blacktron II

Blacktron II was a LEGO space-themed line that was introduced in 1991 and served as a sequel to the original Blacktron theme.

The Blacktron II sets and minifigures continued the storyline of the original theme, with the Blacktron faction now having established a secret base on an unknown planet and developing new and more powerful technologies to help them in their quest for space domination.

The Blacktron II sets and minifigures continued to feature the distinctive black and yellow color scheme of the original Blacktron theme, but with the addition of transparent neon green accents.

Some notable Blacktron II sets include the Blacktron Super Nova II, which is a massive spaceship with several play features, including a detachable cockpit and a rotating laser turret, and the Blacktron Alienator, which is a smaller spaceship with a unique design and a detachable cockpit.

The Blacktron II line also introduced several new minifigures, including the Blacktron II Cybernaut, who is a highly detailed robotic minifigure with a unique design and play features.
