LEGO® Blacktron Minifigures
LEGO® Blacktron, introduced in 1987, became one of the most recognizable factions in the LEGO® Space universe. Known for their black-and-yellow color scheme and distinctive visored helmets, Blacktron minifigures brought a darker, rival presence to the era of space exploration themes.
Blacktron I (1987)
The original Blacktron minifigures featured split-color torsos and classic space helmets with dark visors. Their ships were designed with modular sections and detachable cockpits, giving the faction a distinctive technical style that stood apart from earlier space explorers.
Blacktron II (1991)
The second wave introduced neon-green visors and updated suit designs. With revised spacecraft styling and expanded fleet designs, Blacktron II refreshed the faction while maintaining its recognizable identity within LEGO® Space.
Modern Revival Sets
Recent tribute releases have revisited the Blacktron aesthetic, reimagining classic spacecraft designs with updated building techniques while preserving the original visual identity.
Blacktron in the LEGO® Space Universe
Blacktron is a key faction within the broader Classic Space lineup. They are often displayed alongside rival space-era themes such as Futuron and Space Police, creating balanced retro sci-fi displays.
