Autumn

Agreed. White especially is long overdue.

You are reading those lists wrong. It is a list of parts that have been released in that colour, ordered by the date those parts were first released. It doesn't mean they appeared in that colour in that year. Dark blue, for example, first appears in 1961 as a few non-System cars and again in the 1990s as some textile clothing for Scala figures, but doesn't appear as a System element until 2001 for Xalax Racer Pip. This list helps visualise it better: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&colorInSet=63&sortBy=Y&sortAsc=A&catType=S Same goes for other colours like medium blue: a few old bricks with no anti-studs and windows in 1949 and 1950 and next appears as some street sweeper brushes in the 1980s. Light blue also has some windows in 1950, but besides some Aquazone baseplates in the 1990s and more Scala fabric clothing, doesn't appear again as a System element until 2003. Admittedly there are some like Maersk blue which appears surprisingly far back, but dark blue, for example, which is far more common, never appears in any Space, Legoland or Castle sets during the 1980s and 1990s. It's a bit of a gray area but certain elements like fabric clothing for Scala figures or sweeper brushes don't count in my books, and when there's a decades long hiatus for System elements (at best you get one or two niche parts the first few appearances) then I don't see how your argument against "revisionists" works so well. I'd like you to show where there was a similar spectrum of colours in the 1980s compared to today that wasn't your typical gray, black, white, red, yellow, blue, green or brown, etc. You can see my comment above for dark blue.

Nice build! I always click on them when you post yours! The chassis was last used in 2021. If it doesn't appear in another set soon TLG will retire it! That would make me sad.

I agree, clever design! I think to make look more distinctively "Futuron" you should change a few pieces to white (like the thrusters in bike form and feet in walker form) and then add one or two trans-blue pieces.

They both look good and so authentic. I can totally see them being official sets back then. The combiner model is nicely done!

Yeah, it's cool and all to see a bit of a more "classic space" approach, but City is supposed to be grounded in reality for people who want something a bit more normal and everyday. Would be better if they were separate themes.

This is a cool head canon! Now it's mine, too.

I love the look of this set and think the asymmetry is the best part about it. I've seen the word "industrial" thrown around and I think it's a great descriptor, I love the function over form vibe the faction has while still looking 80s edgy. There are too many symmetrical vehicles already so it's nice to see something a bit different. One of the best things about Lego is if you want something done a bit differently then you can do that!

I can definitely see the inspiration. Robo-Guardian is one of my favourites and this is really good!

Love it! Kinda cute.

We got an M:Tron CMF this year. That's more than what many older themes can say.

Came across it on Bricklink a few weeks ago but haven't been able to find a higher resolution version. I guess I could just upscale it with AI maybe but would be better if it was original. It's very similar to the jungle one with Johnny and Achu. Wonder if there are any others like it?

Voted. Good luck!

I love the smaller power suit / armour.

Look good! How much is the Baron paying them?
