Lego Blacktron 1 History and Lore: Spaceport 

I could never understand why Blacktron are perceived as villains when those smiley faces make them look so gosh darn cute and innocent.

Thanks man!! Hoping to do a one about pirates soon! Going to rotate through the three themes!

@@BrickingUpBrad don't forget about Adventurers tho, at least 1 tavern talk would be dope

@@lorenzoselle0937 my goal is to cover every Lego theme at some point!

Living La Vida Blacktron!

*cough* Unitron *cough*

cough UFO cough

May or may not have been waiting to drop that one for a while😂

😂😂😂

Glad to hear it!

I left him out on purpose. He is a blacktron 2 figure and will be talking about him when I do that video. I do talk about him in my ever space cmf video though.

@@BrickingUpBrad His official bio sounds somewhat like a veiled reference to the famous "Tears in rain" monologue, but it could possibly be a coincidence...

Blacktron comrade.

There have been three versions of space police actually!

1989 was when the first SP1 set came out

They are awesome!

That is great! Glad to hear it!! Thank you!

Thank you!!

I also think that every lego theme is connected in some way

😂😂love it!

Thank you, my headcanon was inspired by this video along with your other great video that was about Castle Wolfpack🐺

Thank you! I got some more new videos on original themes dropping soon! Such as power miners this week

Thank you!!!

I plan on doing a video on black tron 2 at some point and will definitely be adding the new blacktron mutant!

SPACEPORT!!

Maybe

Thank you!

The April 1st ones are definitely not an April fools joke because they have been found in the wild!

I hope to do space police in January

Agreed

@@BrickingUpBrad Blacktron III (if it ever comes out) should return to the color scheme of Blacktron I. Or if they do keep the translucent neon green they should at least avoid using white. Blacktron I looked stealthy. Blacktron II looked noisy. Blacktron are supposed to be space criminals. My ideal blacktron would use the new bluish black cockpits they introduced in Space 2024 but still with some yellow accents and the upside down triforce logo.

If Blacktron 2 was called something else that would be perfectly fine and would be much more suited as they're very cool sets but you're right Blacktron 2 doesn't look intimidating or aggressive so I can't imagine any of the guys from M-Tron or Ice Planet being scared of them.

​@@MortonBricksnot sure if Lego would get away with using the triforce emblem as it is now a Nintendo copyright, but I would love a return to the original black and yellow aesthetic.

@@scorpionwins6378 The symbol dates back to feudal Japan. Nintendo shouldn't have a monopoly on it.

Don’t you dare 👀

@@BrickingUpBrad You didn’t hear anything from me! 😉

Sounds like blacktron propaganda to me.

Considering how Blacktron made its debut at the end of Space Classic before the introduction of Futuron, and looking at the funky disco logo of that generation, it stands to reason that Blacktron are the legitimate successors to Space Classic. And the black Classic figures were the most sought after. The recombineablility of the sets is an interesting feature that the Space Classic sets lacked. Space Classic was obviously modelled after real-life space programmes of the time, and has recently been seamlessly integrated into Lego City. The visors originated with the motorcycle helmets of City, where they make sense. Space suits don't need visors, but the old helmets were replaced with the new design everywhere. The only visor-like feature on a space suit would be the equivalent of sun glasses that actual real-life space suits have. Hence it makes sense they would be opaque. This is contradicted by the Futuron line which has transparent visors. Futuron also features the same classic brick colours that Classic Space used. Space Police also have transparent visors, and they arrest exclusively Blacktrons. Either Futuron was not ready in time, or Futuron is simply not being policed. What's odd are the names of the sets. They have differed between the European and American markets for some reason even for Space Classic, but the American promoters seem to have decided that funky disco neon black = evil.

You really made me laugh, awesome😂

​@@BrickingUpBradYou shut the hell up son!

❤

Yes you would😂

@@BrickingUpBradShush!!! Don't blow your cover man!!!

Don’t blow your cover.
