M:tron's Particle Ioniser

[snefroe]

We were all quite excited when M:tron was released in 1990. Red parts in space was a first *sweet* , but it looked cool, even though most of us were hoping for extra set from Space Police or Blacktron.. The Particle Ioniser was this year

Nice review.

This is my favourite M:tron ship.

I always saw this thing as a sort of fire truck, putting out plasma fires with the nozzle on the front.

I never had any trouble with the cargo pod, it just needed to be pushed down to get between the fins.

Maybe the problem arose with this release, it has a different boom construction than the first.

Although, I have both versions and I don't recall any difficulties with it.

Also the rotor assembly was changed in this one. It still works, but I always liked the first type better.

I need to upload the first version's instructions somewhere. I can only find the second one online.

One more thing to put on my "to do" list....

A very interesting set with a good color scheme and some cool and playable features!

Neat. The design is elegant and aggressive and that small robot is lovely. *y*

well the other M:tron ship is really not attractive, making this one the best of both.

i do have a double of this model but it's out of my reach to check the instruction book. in any case, i did have a 1x2 black connector brick left, maybe that was part of the originel set? :-/

I've always wanted this set (one of the few space sets which recieve that dubious honour ;-) ) I liked the Mtron/blacktron range and wish I had the money to acquire them all. Nice review BTW. Now I want one more than ever... X-D

God Bless,
