Description

Space with magnetism

M:Tron was a space theme in which magnets played a central role: vehicles and stations were meant to attract and move energy crystals and cargo. The Mega Core Magnetizer carries this idea forward on a larger scale. The set suits anyone who likes inventing scenarios in which a team operates, guards or recaptures an enormous machine. The play idea carries the parts, not the other way round. The mix of technology and imagination is the appeal, since nobody has to explain exactly how the magnetizer works.

Dark, red and neon green

Black forms the base colour, joined by red, light grey and trans-neon green. This contrast is typical of early nineties space sets and still looks striking today. The glowing elements stand out sharply against the dark background and suggest energy. If you are after such colours, the parts list contains several elements that are hard to come by in other sets, which keeps them appealing for collectors. Transparent neon colours are rarely produced today, which makes the parts sought after.

Three figures, 130 types

Three minifigures are enough for a small task force. With 130 different part types among 506 pieces in total, there are many special shapes that give the machine its detailed look. That makes the build more varied than a set made of standard bricks. The model also works for display, because the dark surfaces and glowing accents draw attention on a shelf at once instead of vanishing into the crowd.

Checking and reusing the parts

The full parts list with colours and quantities is on this page. “What can I build?” shows which other sets you could assemble from the contents and your collection. With second-hand copies, the trans-neon pieces and the magnets in particular matter, so checking before you buy is worthwhile. Afterwards you can put the parts to use in space models of your own. Many dark and red elements are left over, which look good in vehicle and battle models as well.
