General Magma Posted December 20, 2008 Hello all! Yesterday I bought two nice little Power Miner sets, and I noticed both of the miner minifigs to have a strange little icon on their back, and a smaller one of the same on the front. I'd like to know more about this, it might be something about what the miners do in the crew, for example - one is the drilling expert, the other is the expert in dynamite and bombs....but I don't know which icons are what, and together we all could find out stuff about it, to know a little more about the Power Miners crew..not much is known about the miners, since the monsters only are featured on the PM website. My webcam makes a bit blurry-looking pictures, so could someone post a picture of a Miners' torso? I hope to find out more about it. P.S. This is my first topic on EB.

Lt. Col. Thok Posted December 20, 2008 I believe they specify what sort of work the Power Miner does (ie, demolition) Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) I believe they specify what sort of work the Power Miner does (ie, demolition)Hope this helps. Now I also try to find out what work which miner does. Power Miners from sets 8956, 8957, 8958, 8959, 8960, and 8961. I believe the one from 8956 does all the drilling stuff..but I still can't figure out the others..In 8957, the miner has a small stick-looking thing as icon on his torso.. 8959 might be the dynamite expert.. Anyone who knows about which work all Power miners do? Edited December 20, 2008 by General Magma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nirdian Posted December 20, 2008 Now I also try to find out what work which miner does.Power Miners from sets 8956, 8957, 8958, 8959, 8960, and 8961. I believe the one from 8956 does all the drilling stuff..but I still can't figure out the others..In 8957, the miner has a small stick-looking thing as icon on his torso.. 8959 might be the dynamite expert.. Anyone who knows about which work all Power miners do? Uptil now I've only seen a demo expert, a drilling expert and a chemist (featured in the biggest set).

Pencoin Posted December 20, 2008 These Icons help distingiush and help you remember the roles of the four miners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
user Posted December 23, 2008 These Icons help distingiush and help you remember the roles of the four miners. Actually there are more than four miners they did not think of all there names though ! I think the symbols show there rank like if you did not notice Brains is the only one with a white shirt and he is obviously the leader! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skipper 24 Posted December 24, 2008 Could someone take a picture of these logos? I haven't got any PM sets so I haven't seen them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
user Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) How do you know his name? Magic! Only four of them have names so far there is Brains ,Rex ,Doc , and Duke! Brains is the one in the white shirt that Nirdian said was a chemist Doc comes with the Thunder drill he is the one that is not covered in grime Duke is the one that is covered in grime and Rex comes with the claw digger and those are all the ones the have named! If the answer magic does not satisfy you then then I will tell you a different way you could find out there names without magical powers. (That is only in case you do not have any magic dirt or if you have misplaced it.) I thought allot of people knew their names but I guess they lost their magic too!

My magic got eaten by one of those rock monsters, sadly. Or let's say, all of them ate a bit of it..that's why they light-up when eating crystals! They get powered up by the magic!!

They get powered up by the magic!! I am very sorry to hear that the same thing happened with my cousin! Well a magical platypus told me you could also find out their names on a brickshelf review of the PM polybag if you veiw image and zoom in! Next time I see the magical platypus I will thank him for spreading his Lego knowledge on to me thus making the world a better place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
