In 1994, a new Lego Space civilian faction hit the scene in the form of Unitron. With black, white and blue liveries absolutely slathered in transparent blue and transparent neon green, they seemed like a visual melange of several themes that had come before.

Like Futuron before them, they boasted an expansive base with an incredible 9V-powered functioning monorail. No wonder the Spyrius droid was sent to spy on their technology.

Unitron’s lineup of sets was even less extensive than their predecessors M-Tron or Futuron. In fact, you can see all four of them in this post.

Like their foes the Spyrius, Unitron’s slipshod designs based on massive windscreen pieces reflect a troubling ambivalence towards the overall build experience, as if all the effort had been expended designing the much cooler Ice Planet 2002 sets. It would take a while for Lego to turn things around.
