Description
A Slizer from the Throwbot line
The Slizers belong to the Throwbots, a Technic line built around small robot figures with a throwing action. The Blaster Slizer is one of those models and contains 89 pieces. We do not describe exactly how the mechanism works, since we have no reliable details to go on. What matters is that it is a compact build you can finish in a single sitting, and it is ready to play with straight away afterwards. Even at this size it feels like a proper Technic build.
Dark colours with yellow accents
The parts are mostly black, light grey and dark grey, with yellow added. That mix looks technical and robotic and suits a figure cast as a fighting machine. The yellow pieces provide accents and make joints and details easy to spot at a glance. With 25 different part types in 89 pieces, the set carries a good share of Technic-specific elements that can be reused in other constructions once the figure has been taken apart.
Play it or collect it
Throwbots were designed for play, but the Slizer also interests collectors who want early Technic figures from around the year 2000. Because the piece count is modest, a second-hand copy is quick to check for completeness. It takes up little room and sits comfortably beside other robots or Bionicle-style figures on a shelf, where its dark tones stand out well and give a small collection a consistent look. It is also a modest purchase for anyone building up a Throwbot line.
Parts list and robots of your own
The complete parts list for all 89 pieces is further down this page, sorted by type and colour. If you take the Blaster Slizer apart, the joints, rods and connectors can go into robots of your own. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other models your collection allows when you mix several Slizers or other Technic sets, which is a good way to design new creatures from familiar parts.
