Description

Robots instead of minifigures

This LEGO® set needs no figures, since the name already says it all: the robots you assemble from the bricks take the lead. The idea behind the Designer line was to offer several ideas in one box, or at least to encourage you to keep building. With 326 pieces you have plenty of material to make a robot with a character of its own, and then to change it as often as you like until it looks exactly right to you.

Blue, black and two greys

The colour choice suits the theme. Blue is the most eye-catching shade, black and dark grey form the joints and casings, and light grey adds metallic accents. Together they give the impression of a machine without bright patches of colour distracting from the shapes. If you look at the colour split in the parts list, you can quickly tell which bricks are meant for the outer shell and which mostly work inside. That makes a handy template for robots of your own.

94 different elements

The 326 pieces contain 94 different shapes. That is a lot for a set of this size and points to special parts such as joints, angled bricks or sloped plates, which are what bring a robot body to life. You will find the full parts list with quantities and colours further down this page. It helps when you check a second-hand copy, and when you want to reorder individual elements because an older box turns out to be missing something.

More than one robot

Because the parts are so versatile, the set makes a good base for models of your own design. The “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria shows how many other models you can build fully or nearly from them. If you already own Robobots, add it to your collection. The search then counts its parts automatically, and you can see how close your stock comes to new robot ideas or to completely different models, perhaps even a second robot to face the first.
