Dannylonglegs, and Jackjonespaw proudly present: "The year is 2515. On the heels of the Liberation of Earth from the Hypaxxians in 2111, humanity spread its wings to the greater galaxy, liberating planets from the Hypaxxian empire as they went. With new allies, Humans and their fledgling interstellar league defeated the Hypaxxians, pushing them back to their homeworld. In the vacuum of power left by the tyrannical empire, Humans and their closest ally species formed the "Congressional Legislative Administration of Space-faring Species and Interstellar Court" or, CLASSIC Space Federation. This Federation has lasted nearly 400 years now, and has grown larger than the Hypaxxian empire ever did, incorporating numerous sentient species in the name of peace and prosperity. Wherever the Federation has a presence, mutually beneficial interstellar trade is fostered, dictatorships are destabilized, and quality of life is improved. That's the official story, at least. There are those who see the Federation as overbearing, imperialistic, bloated, corrupt, and unnecessary. Enter the Blacktron Rebellion. Comprised of dissenters from decadence and those oppressed by the Federation, Blacktron aims to completely overthrow the Federation, restoring independence to all member planets. While their goals may be admirable, their methods are abhorrent. They have brought chaos and death to many a planet, and murder those who question them. Despite this, their numbers continue to grow, and they have established themselves as a true force with which to be reckoned. The rebellion is widespread, and no planet is safe from its brutality--not even planet LI-420, a mining planet on the border of the Federation, and the Insectoid Empire. Devoid of native life, and primarily barren and worthless for Terraforming efforts, the one thing this planet offers is precious minerals. As negotiated by the Federation, the planet is on loan to the Federation by the Insectoid Empire to be mined for its resources in exchange for some tribute. Its isolated, but diplomatically important position has made it uniquely situated as a prime location for the Federation to gracefully dump its rejects. Those involved in corruption charges, or who otherwise seek to avoid the public eye ubiquitous on core worlds find themselves on frontier worlds like this... which also makes them receptive to the cleansing power of Blacktron." Please stop the music now, at whatever point in the song you reached. "This is Falconer LL-10240, escorting OS-Cog 87 on a routine supplies delivery to Mining station on LI-420. Tower, please reply." "Falconer LL-10240 to Os-Cog 87, Something's wrong! The mining station's not responding! How are your coms? I think mine have been jammed!" "WoOOOoah-ly shit!" "I'm hit! Mayday! Mayday!" *grunts* "I've got to warn them! It's Blacktron!" __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sign up here to take part in my very first Mafia Game!

I don't know what to call this thing. Speeder bike? Maybe, but it's supposed to be space-capable.. any suggestions? Lego had a 'Space Speeder' in set 8400... maybe that.

This idea is spun off from another thread, as there was the seed that got me started on this: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=112920 I think Blacktron 3's color scheme could be something like this: black, trans-black cockpits, bluish grays and lime, with yellow and black bumblebee stripes. Blacktron split off from Classic Space, so why couldn't they take some parts of classic space technology / ideas with them? Anyway, here are my Benny's ssS! version in Blacktron III colors. I figured this would be the easiest color change for Benny's SSS. When built in real life, this part should be where the classic space logo used to go on the nose: http://alpha.brickli...858p01#T=C&C=11 With the crew areas visible. I took the liberty of removing the SpaceKitty seat and both of the repair bots. Rear view, and the ldd file for the cruiser: http://www.mocpages....1438719213m.lxf and here is a fighter, one of millions in the BT3 fleet. This fighter was made from the LEGO Universe Classic Space rocket. it does not separate into sections anymore, and features this print on the nose: rear view. LDD file for the fighter: http://www.mocpages....1438719540m.lxf The figures are as follows: Leader / commander: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?M=col038#T=S&O={"ii":1} Robot helper: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?M=col166#T=S&O={"ii":1} soldier (suit only): http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?M=sp110#T=S&O={"ii":1} (all figure pictures from Bricklink)

Who had a better colour-scheme? Blacktron 1 or Blacktron II?
Dannylonglegs posted a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I don't know it it's been asked, but I thought it'd be interesting to see what the Sci-fi community here thought of the different colour schemes from Blacktron I and Blacktron II. Which generation of the faction had a superior colour scheme? Do you prefer Blacktron 1's wasp-y colour palate of Black and yellow, in juxtaposition to trans-yellow "glass" and trans-red blasters or lights? Or do you prefer Blacktron Next Generation's palate of White, Black, and the spaced-out trans neon green for glass and blasters? Furthermore, what are your thoughts in regards to the addition of lime green in neo-blacktron Mocs? Yay or nay? I'm planning on doing something with Blacktron in the near future, and I was curious to see what others thought of the colour palates. ~Insectoid Aristocrat -

:: The Traig Society :: Junali 3815 Hovering over the mountains of Traig, a strange anomaly triggered the scanners. It seems that there is some sort of life on Traig, and it appears they are intelligent enough to use metals and electronics. Something worth exploring. Fey drops the ship to the hard rock soil and Narbilu exits the vehicle in his newly obtained walker. Only a few clicks north before he encounters some sort of entrance. Narbilu was already spotted. A few manlike spacesuited figures guide him to their leader. Kawashita are the first visitors they could actually speak to in over a millennium. The content of the discussion won't be reported in this log, it seems to be secret and board members eyes only. What will happen and what is discussed???

Anybody want a Blacktron fan-girl torso?

Back with another ship for my expanding Blacktron 3 fleet. The Strix Patrol Ship has some very complex futuristic magnetic hovering propulsion engines lining its underside, allowing it to perform intricate maneuvers with ease. (They're so complex I don't even know what to call them ) This little guy fits one pilot and is used for surface patrol on Blacktron occupied planets. As with most of my models I planned the ship in LDD before building in 'real' bricks. Hope you like it - more on flickr - comments and feedback always appreciated! LDD concept

Hi everyone! Having been inspired by Matthias Riedel's Blacktron MOCs, I've been making some builds using the same colour scheme. Namely Black, Dark Bley and Trans Neon Green, which is inspired by the Rench minifig from Raid VPR (5981-1) and the Space Villain minifig (8803-6). I want to say in advance that I was very unhappy with my photography. Sorry about that! Some Notes! - The halftrack is originally by Matthias Riedel: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_blacktron/ - The crawler is based on a Nova Crawler, which is an alternate build of the Exo-Force kit, Supernova (7712), inspired by Matthias Riedel's blacktron MOC of same: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=412775 - The racer is a recolour of the Agents kit, Infearno Interception (70162). - The walker is an updated Sub Orbital Guardian (6878-1) from Blacktron II. - The fighter is a recolour of the Ice Planet 2002 set Blizzard Baron (6879). - The submersible is a MOC with it's main design forms coming from the Aquazone set, Crystal Scavenger (2160-1). Many more pics in my Flickr album: I've also ordered components for 8 more Neo Blacktron minifigs, and am eagerly anticipating their arrival! Comments welcome!

What do you get when you fuse the Blacktron I Invader with Blacktron II's Allied Avenger? The Allied Invader. More than a nuisance than a dangerous treat in dogfights, the Allied Invader is an incredible speedy craft with weak firepower. Due to It's speed, It's not a very steerable fighter and needs broad space to manoeuvre. It's sometimes used as a kamikaze attack, delivering a deep piercing attack that might burst any vessel.

Hello everyone! So every now and then I look at this page and get inspired by many illustrations presented here or just try to remember them, and it inspires me to think about how would I reboot the "classic" Space themes, such as Blacktron, Ice Planet, Space Police, Spyrius... These thoughts has led me to some results that are posted here. And today I want to show you some of my ideas of how would droid/robotic helpers would look like in a rebooted space? Ice Planet Reloaded - Figures by The Mugbearer, on Flickr The Ice Planet robot was the first that I made. The role I had in mind is a fast-moving scout/courier. Space Police Patrol and Apprehension Unit by The Mugbearer, on Flickr For Space Police robot I had a more specific role in mind. This droid is for patrol and apprehension, which means it must have a sturdy frame and be mobile enough to scale the distance between itself and perpetrator. It hovers above the ground and uses it's shoulder boosters for steering. Blacktron Intruder Bot by The Mugbearer, on Flickr The latest robot I made is the biggest among them all, and there's no surprise since it's an intruder battle droid that disguises itself as a recon probe. It's armed with plasma circular sawblade and a laser gun, and it's sole purpose is to sabotage the work of M-Tron's facilities. That's all for now, enjoy!

Hi everyone, I had exhibited at Legoworld the Netherlands with a Space layout. It has been 6 years since I have done something with my Space collection. The last time I had everything in one landscape, but this time I wanted to separate all the sub-themes in different landscapes. The landscapes are also in time sequence. In the landscapes you can see the overlap of some subthemes. One other idea was to connect the worlds with each other with a monorail. The monorail set 6990 was the set to connect all the worlds. The first set is from 1986 and the time line ends at 2011 (Alien Conquest). I do have Space Police III, but I did not have the bricks to create one more landscape. I do not have Mars Mission or Roboforce, because of lack of interest. The link to the pictures: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=549231 I hope you like it. Sander

My modest entry to the SHIPtember 2014 challenge: the Common-class Modular Star Hauler Blackbee Length: 126 studs (101cm) Common-class Modular Star Hauler Blackbee by Veynom, on Flickr The Common-class Star Hauler vessels were designed as modular and easy to assemble ships able to transport a lot of different cargo across long distances. Their modular conception allowed for virtually unlimited capacity as modules can be added or removed upon needs. The Blackbee is a nice example carrying 3 container sections and two power rings.

Têta Fleet of the Alki's Corp. have an opponent in the Legoxie : the Blacktron Fleet. The technology of these starships is old in comparison with the Alki's Corp one, but his firepower is great. So is experienced the crew of the ships. The main ship is the battleship with many gun, in particulary 3 triple turrets guns. 2 cruisers with a smaller firepower but greater mobility surrond it. 2 fighters and a "beetle" complete the Fleet. =>Yamatorax battleship: => 2 Blacktron cruisers => 2 fighters assits the fleet

Hey guys, I found a Message-Intercept Base on Ebay for 130$, shipping is $80 but it comes with a bunch of other random Blacktron parts... Should I get it? My birthday is on May 29, so I'm hoping to treat myself If anyone can find it for cheaper please let me know, Blacktron is my favorite theme! Thank you so much! legozebra

I've had the itch to build but haven't had the time/money/effort to build in actual bricks lately. Thank goodness for LDD - Keeping my creativity alive! Blacktron 3 Torgos Dropship - Holds 12 Blacktron troopers in the belly and is piloted by a crew of three. Has some cannons for added "pew pews" and should be VTOL but it's not. I hope you like it!

If M:tron is my favorite theme, then they must have a sufficient enemy. My expansion of Blacktron II was done to keep in step with the sets and MOCs of M:tron. There are more pictures at my Flickr showing play features and such. "Starwing" (wingman to 6832) "Striker" "Transport" (this is a mod of the ship from set 6988; I wanted a VTOL for troop transport similar to my M:tron "Space Huey") "Interceptor" (tried to base this one off of 6981) "Armored Rover" (let's face it, the M:tron Mega Cor Magnetizer 6989 was an awesome set, and Blacktron II had nothing like it; I tried to keep the style of 6933)
-
All right, I posted Futuron, so now Blacktron I. Obviously the Futuron theme had a lot more sets, so that means I didn't feel the need for as many Futuron MOCs. But Blacktron never had enough sets...so more MOCs. And sorry, I haven't gotten around to photographing any of the Blacktron MOCs yet, so just renders. "Defender" "Cargo Pod" (based off set 6894) Alternate build 1 for set 6876 (back of box) Alternate build 2 for set 6876 (back of box) "Batwing" (cockpit from set 6941 with new wing section) "Hyper-Cruiser" Base extensions on set 6987
