This has massive John Halo energy.

More recognizable is debatable, but I agree it makes more sense and is more versatile. Or worse, just one.

I know it's a forgone conclusion, but do you all think we'll get the color-blocked uniforms of the early seasons, or the sweater-style/DS9/Voyager uniforms? And will Beverly have her lab coat? I'm also kinda hoping we get a more affordable "crewman" pack, as those torsos will be hell to get on the secondary market. For TOS, I'm content with using plain Red/Blue/Yellow torsos, but the TNG and later uniforms are much harder to replicate. At least it's not the Mirror Universe.

@Mandalorianknight You're both wrong. Tanalorr belongs to the Syndicate. It belongs to Blacktron. This pic is needlessly hard.

Slightly disappointed by the Enterprise-D, the Galaxy-class isn't my cup of tea, but the TNG crew is pretty iconic so it's all good. Hopefully this leads to more stuff, as was mentioned getting the other important crew members, maybe some alien species too.

Enough 501st already. They are overrated. Though I concur, getting the named clones (both Phases) would be nice. *coughDenalhackMixercoughRedeyecoughcough*

I can get behind this. After all... He is Black and Yellow.

Facts, nothing beats the 1701-dash-nothing. I hope we get the OG crew, and a Klingon or Gorn for good measure.

LEGO...the Final Frontier. Can't wait!

To be fair, I was being cheeky to your "convoluted" statement. It's not "convoluted" for Blacktron to be a pre-existing society, it's arguably more convoluted to make them an offshoot of the Federation, with rogue admirals, secret fleets, and the like. Both are equally valid ideas. Humans as in "humans from Earth, but the bad guys". Of course all "alien" races and the like will still be invariably human, that's a non-argument. The star bases being provided by a separate faction is quite the reach, and doesn't make sense within the scope of the themes, where each faction has considerable differences in their technology. Yes, Blacktron II may have stolen technology from M-Tron, but the original Blacktron tech is far different than anything the Federation offers or has offered since (including all 3 Space Police, Ice Planet, Futuron, and Unitron). Including things like the CMF Evil Mech, which is leagues more advanced than the robots of the Federation, and even those created by the Zotaxians. Blacktron is a mysterious faction that closely resembles our Earth-born heroes. It's true origins should always remain a mystery. "Humans but not" are a staple in sci-fi, from Vulcans to Kryptonians, this is an easy explanation for their classic appearance, it doesn't mean they have to be from Earth. I don't think LEGO ever intended that to be the case. As for conquest=exploration, think Prime Continuity Starfleet vs Terran Empire. That's the difference between The Federation and Blacktron, two separate societal paths. Also, exploring space is considerably easier than exploring the deep ocean, at least with our current technology. At the end of the day, you can enjoy Blacktron however you'd like, (Imagination) but it's not "convoluted" to assume that the mysterious space faction is indeed, mysterious.

Spy. Which fits as a Blacktron predecessor tbh. Because Blacktron has better technology, hidden star bases, multispecies agents (Rench, CMF Bounty Hunter), and it has a certain mystique that simply being "humans but evil" tarnishes. Human-like as in, idk Romulan or whatever. Space is massive, parallel evolution and whatnot. I think it's an interesting what if to the idea of if humanity still valued conquest and colonization over coexistence and noble exploration. Blacktron is a dark mirror to the Federation, the perfect enemy in a way. Some of us prefer complex storytelling is all. Yes. I'm going off the movies, but I do know there are differences between the miniseries and the actual show. Jessica is just a national treasure, period. My headcanon on the Space colors, I guess (screw the canon ) Color is equal parts personal choice and official mission specialty, meaning that some color roles may change from ship to ship. In the story I'm working on, it's as follows: Yellow - Command Staff, Blue - Science Officers, White - Pilots, Red - Operations, Black - Tactical, Pink - Communications, Purple - Medical, Orange - Long-Range Recon Patrol, Green - Engineering. I know Brown should be Nursery/Medical, but there are no babies on this voyage, so they're my Hazard-Ops Officer. For Futuron: Yellow - Command/Pilots/Navigation, Blue - Science/Medical/Communications, Red - Operations/Engineering, Black - Tactical/LRRP

The robins don't exist afaik, Hal and Jessica both attend school together, and Supes, Bats, and John Stewart are the JLA/Adults. The canon is there is no canon, not like we know it, anyway. It's just for fun. TBH, they feel like generic space marines/air force/security forces to me. Good for a personal theory, but I prefer the idea that Blacktron is just another human-like civilization that's been on the galactic scale far longer than Earth has.

Well yes, but these direct enemies also exist alongside the exploratory entity of the era. Blacktron exists alongside Classic Space/Futuron, which led to the formation of the Space Police, LoM and MM are basically the same theme (human-wise), just with more security personnel (again, something like the MACOs from Star Trek: Enterprise) In the canon I'm working on, the two branches of Lego's space fleet, while separate, continuously evolve into their respective counterparts as threats arise. Also, a lot of the antagonist factions operate in the same general time period, terrorizing different regions of space. Except for Blacktron. Blacktron is forever. I didn't know Spyrius was a villain faction. I made them a CIA/MI6 analog in my universe. And this is probably unintentional, but I like that the shuttle silhouette of the mission patch just so happens to look like the Galaxy Explorer. And every other space shuttle for that matter, but I thought that's a neat little bonus. Because he was barely in the show. That's why. And he could barely talk. We can't have silent minidolls now, can we?

Yes, that's the current idea. The Buggoids (Arthropod Ascendency) are one of many hostile alien factions active during the Galaxy Explorer's maiden voyage. Eventually, Galaxy Squad is dismantled and slowly replaced by more of a paramilitary faction (Space Police). Mars Mission is hard to place, considering the uniforms, but I've figured that it's after Alien Conquest and Life on Mars, and is active alongside the modern space program. The parallel evolution of LEGO's Military and Space Programs is complicated, but basically I would say it goes Alien Defense Unit, Mars Mission (hence it's plethora of combat vehicles), Galaxy Squad, Space Police I, II, and III. Then space would be Project Artemis, Life on Mars, Modern, Classic, Futuron. That is wrong on so many levels. Glad everyone liked my Space Theory. We'll finally get that comic book Daily Planet! And the Watchtower. And the Hall of Justice. Sadly, they'll probably all cost $1000+

So that means that the Black Falcons are the French? Interesting theory. I'd argue the Wolf Pack/Dragon Knights don't really evolve into anything, the criminal element just kind of exists. The major castle factions changing into "modern" empires makes a lot of sense though. Time for my theory: Modern Space (2024) is the prequel to Classic Space/Futuron. City: Space is the early days of LEGO's space exploration program, before the creation of the Galaxy Explorer, which allowed them to journey beyond the Sol System. The aliens we see inhabit the asteroid belt, or some distant moon. Basically how Star Trek goes TOS -> TNG -> ENT, we have Classic -> Futuron -> Modern. Alien Conquest is prior to all these, and is the inspiration behind Earth's rapid advancement in space travel technology (though humans have grown considerably more diplomatic since then)
