VikingLord Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Discuss these great lines here. Me and my brother were big fans of Roboriders & Throwbots, but now the only one I still have is this one: Quote
Starwars4J Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Aren't Roboriders under the Space forum? Anyway, I loved roboriders (not to the extent of Space Police I, Blacktron I, or Spyruis mind you, but I loved 'em ;) Don't remember TOO much about throwbots...other than I had a few Quote
VikingLord Posted January 9, 2006 Author Posted January 9, 2006 Aren't Roboriders under the Space forum? No, they're non-system... Quote
The Hordesman Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I bought throw-bots (licensed here as Slizers) sets back in the days when I took pilgrimage to Ullared, the biggest shopping town in the lands of the non-existant icebear that never was there. I bought tons of these, messed them up with space as some sort of giant space monsters, later bought some roboriders for parts like icy spears and green katanas. :D Now, they just remain as ancient MOCs lying around in the shape of fantasy monsters from various D&D settings...

Kikuichimonji Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I own the slizer which had 4 feeth. Just as useless as Bionicle if you ask me... Quote

JINZONINGEN73 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Before Bionicle, I NOTICED Throwbots, even going so far as to look at the packaging... but they were pretty lame-lookin' robots. A year later, they were these "Roboriders", but looked like the same things. When Bionicle came, I RAIDED the discount bins to get these old guys, because they had Bionicle pieces in many colors. Their combiner models shown in the instructions were horrendously illogical. Strictly good parts sources. : ) Quote
VikingLord Posted January 10, 2006 Author Posted January 10, 2006 I own the slizer which had 4 feeth. Just as useless as Bionicle if you ask me... BLASPHEMY! Quote
AaronCrane Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Their combiner models shown in the instructions were horrendously illogical. How so? Yeah, I got the Throwbots. They were alright. Nothing too amazing, but they were alright. They are presently in pieces on the bottom of my box of BIONICLE sets. As for the Roboriders... I was not at all impressed by them. ~AaronCrane-- Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Their combiner models shown in the instructions were horrendously illogical. How so? They had no attention to uniformity of color, or much else. They were structurally "wonky". In a sick way though, they were more mobile than the Bionicle combiners of the first few years. But we're talking my opinion here. You might see qualities in Throwbot combiners outside my perception. Quote
Zarkan Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Have a few of them myself. Really good for parts, since they have some good colors. Just used one of them in my new Makuta MOC. Quote
Darkness Falls Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I was extremely excited when I got Throwbots. I must disagree, though... The Turbo/Ice/Fire/Scuba combiner rocked. A little off with colors, but very poseable. Millenia was awesome, too. Loved the whole tires/feet thing. When they left, I was disappointed. Bionicle has filled that empty hole in my heart, but not fully. I would've loved to see more. Roboriders was... eh, pretty cheap. Except for the huge one, they were pretty bland. Quote
bigfatslob Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I wish that I was not such a Bionicle mocing fanatic, I have multiple sets of most Throwbots and RoboRiders but they've all been utilized as parts sources for my mocs.....Jinzo knows... bfs Quote
TheBlackDog Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 I used to have a RoboRider when I was littler, I think the Ice one. Quote
A. Skywalker Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Just yesterday I received the last disks that I need to complete all the first way. YES! I completed, finally, the collection that I started with my brother 24 years ago ^^'. I have the eight first Slizers Fire-Ice-City-Sub-Judge-Jungle-Rock-Energy (in Europe, you know, were Slizers, not Throwbots) with the 6 disks all of them! Good bye! Edited July 11, 2023 by A.
