Description

A tracked vehicle rather than a static build

Instead of a conventional building, the Dieselnaut is a rolling, tracked vehicle that functions as a mobile fortress for the Sons of Garmadon, with room for interior sections, weapon stations and a walkable structure. The build combines a chassis, armour plating and articulated track joints, which makes assembly more mechanically involved than a display-only set and suits builders with a bit more experience, particularly those who have already tackled larger Technic-influenced models with moving running gear.

The dark palette of the Sons of Garmadon

Black and light bluish grey form the armoured outer shell of the vehicle, dark bluish grey adds technical detailing across the chassis and tracks, and orange provides deliberate, targeted accents – a colour scheme typical of this villain faction's Ninjago season. That darker palette sets the Dieselnaut clearly apart from the brighter ninja vehicles released in the same wave of sets, making it instantly recognisable as an antagonist's vehicle on the shelf, even part-built without instructions nearby. The heavy use of black makes the orange accents stand out clearly once the model is finished.

Seven minifigures for heroes and villains alike

With seven minifigures, the set covers both Sons of Garmadon members and at least one ninja, so confrontation scenes can be played out immediately after building without relying on any other set. That is more than many smaller Ninjago vehicle sets of comparable size offer, which also makes the Dieselnaut a reasonable pick for minifigure collectors looking to complete this season's cast of characters before they leave the range.

288 part types for armour and mechanics

Across 1,188 pieces, the set spans 288 distinct part types, with a strong focus on armour plating, track links and articulated joints for the running gear and superstructure. Anyone after specific pieces for their own vehicle builds, such as particular armour panels or track segments, will find the complete parts list with colours and quantities further down this page, which makes tracking down individual spare parts considerably easier.
