hagridshut Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I stumbled upon this on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH7iptLqg6s The first 30 seconds appears to be a television commercial, and the last 2+ minutes is a story that I've never seen before: at a busy spaceport on a distant planet, ships are landing and unloading cargo. An asteroid hits the planet, causing an earthquake that damages the Unitron monorail. M:Tron sends vehicles to rescue an overturned vehicle and pull a derailed train to safety, and an M:Tron ship helps repair the damaged track. M:Tron also takes samples of the asteroid to study. The episode is partly done as a "news report" from a Unitron minifigure, but I they are speaking in a language that I cannot understand. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know what the Unitron astronaut is saying and it what language? This seems to be an official Lego promo video of some kind. I thought it was interesting, and gives some insight into what the Lego designers created M:Tron to represent (engineering, rescue, and natural resource prospecting). Quote
CP5670 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Great find. The reporter is actually a Futuron guy. I think his voice is just gibberish, as if it's supposed to just depict him saying something. Some of these scenes actually appear in the catalogs from that era, like the Futuron monorail coming out of the tunnel. Quote

I sometimes get Futuron and Unitron mixed up, because both themes were famous for their monorail sets Quote
