You mention all the other kinds of mini speeders with the Pulsar Charger, and man I just miss those kinds of sets. Up until I was 18, I lived out in the country with not much money for the bigger sets, so those ones were life-savers.
While the mechanism is simpler, I appreciate that even the Mobile Satellite Uplink hinges. 3 ground vehicles boasting a swivel makes the trend as much a part of M-tron’s identity as the magnets, in my eyes.
Thank you so much for the wonderful M-Tron recap. The Stellar Recon Voyager was my “big present” for my 6th birthday and was my “main spaceship” for many years and many modifications! The red and neon green of this theme is so iconic! I look forward to more ranking videos!
Thank you Kelton! Definitely my favourite Space sub-theme. Now, I've got all sets. MCM and Particle Ionizer - just pure mastery and magic :) Funny, 'cuase M-Tron hit the market when I was only 2 y.o. and ''my childhood series'' were SP II, IP 2002, Spyrius and Exploriens.
@@keltondavisLEGO M:Tron will forever contend in my mind for the top Space subtheme rank, along with Ice Planet 2002. All the others from the 90's are very close contenders as well, all for their own respective reasons.
The M:Tron robot is the best robot. I've built it so many times in different colors. M:Tron feels like it's the most premium built of all Space themes. Great video!
I have a confession to make. I used underestimate this sub-theme. Now don't get me wrong, I love trans-neon green just as much as the next person. But I had previously bought many of the other 90's Lego Space sub-themes before it. But the moment I first got the Particle Ionizer, I couldn't get enough of M-Tron! And the satisfaction I got when I finally bought the Mega Core Magnetizer is something I can't describe with words!
My M-Tron experience has been fairly recent and only covering about a third of the sets at best. But I'm still glad I explored it along with Exploriens in the same space lot several months ago. I had two near-complete copies of the Vector Detector, and for a compact spacecraft, these were very fun to swoosh around and still utilize the M of M-Tron. The Celestial Forager scratches the engineering interest in my brain with the way the crane arm moves and sticks in place, while also having a steering function that I love turning back and forth. Really excelled the utility feel of M-Tron in a mid-size vehicle. And lastly the Patricle Ionizer was a compact ship with a lot of punch, between its storage bay for a robot, folding crane arm in the rear, and supply cart for any mission. The angular wings give it some great depth without making the build too much bigger.
Kelton I really enjoy the editing of your videos, they all have a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. And being born in 96 I don’t really know a lot of these 90’s themes so it’s always fun to learn about and see the sets on your channel :)
As much as the US 'mining faction' marketing for this theme must have helped inspire Rock Raiders, the perfect balance of the M:Tron fleet and setup of its gear for search and rescue couldn't be clearer in the design language. It's one of the few complete subthemes I own, and such a well-planned series. I definitely agree with ranking the Particle Ionizer so highly. It packs all the series features into an unforgettable design. Even as a kid, I remember imagining that it used an ionized particle field generated by the rotor to pull itself along.
i have recently bought the mega core magnetizer, and it is deffinetly one of the best 90s sets deffinetly a top 3 lego space set i would also like to mention that there are actually 2 versions of the particle ionizer, you can see the second version on the box art, the only differences between it and the first version are different builds for the crane arm and propeller holder also, lego spyrius ranked next please
I love your review and ranking of sets from one of my favorite LEGO themes! If you get your hands on the Multi Core Magnetizer again, you should check out the 'satisfying' flip of the small storage crate onto the rover buggy if you drive it up to the standing crate with the magnet end of the rover toward the crate as the controls imply. The crate magnet jumps onto the rover magnet and flips over the top to rest in storage on the rover, almost infallibly! It is very satisfying. This was demonstrated in one of the old commercials.
@@keltondavisLEGO 6989 is one of my top favorite LEGO sets. Not to compare or anything, as I've been collecting nostalgic sets for over 20 years (I'm probably around your age) even before the significant market value increase over the last 10 years, but I just found a decent deal on a 4th copy of the Multi Core Magnetizer through a European BrickLink seller and also have all of the critical/rare/expensive parts to complete my 5th copy (parted out) sometime in the near future. I collect for myself, but also like to get multiple copies to eventually gift to my young family members to share the nostalgia. Most of my nephews' gifts right now are custom remakes or my own custom sets from my favorite themes using mostly readily-available pieces today. I hope to keep up this trend, but will also share copies of the original sets when they are old enough.
On the topic of magnetic Lego bits, I got a copy of Alien Fossilizer from the Exploriens line. It has a crane with a magnetic swivel piece as seen in some of these sets, and a magnetized alien “fossil” sticker applied to a 2x2 tile.
I am by no means a certified Lego historian, and I'd actually never seen or heard of M-Tron (to my knowledge) before your Blacktron video. However, the colours in this theme are just stellar (pun only slightly intended), and as you say, that giant rover.. That is one awesome looking mobile base! Probably one of the coolest sets of Lego space I've seen.. Spaceships are cool and all, but rugged land vehicles are something else. Probably why I am also a big fan of Rock Raiders!
Let’s be honest, if the ranking of the Mega Core Magnetizer could have been higher than #1, it definitely should be 🤩 It may totaly be my nostalgia who is talking, but for me this may be one of the best box sets Lego have ever made.
@@keltondavisLEGO The hype is real! 😂 Unfortunately I only had the two smallest ones. That Mega Core Magnetizer is a gem 👌 Love the printed parts and of course the magnet use in this series. 😊
I remember the commercials but it was just before Aquazone come out that I bought lego. I thought it was just a tad to simple. But seeing this now I see some genious builds in this. Small things but very diffrent, it got similar parts Aquazone reused but I think some of these builds are more bold then expected. And wow that last build. WHAT a monster. Now I loved Dinoraiders, sadly had none of the armor parts of the toys available only the Dinos without them but I saw the show. But I liked using other ways to make the armor, Construx if you know about them. But those parts would have fit nicely on a big Brontosaurus toy.
I'm willing to bet that the Beacon Tracer/Inspection Buggy was something I saw in passing in the past decade or so and indirectly influenced me to create a MOC space buggy with the same forward design and using the same shape windscreen, only in trans-brown/old trans-black instead.
Cool. Really cool! I personally have never owned any M-Tron sets or even minifigs in my life. However, they do employ my favorite color scheme, red and black! Perhaps after this, if I can find something on the cheap, I should pick up something small from M-Tron, just to say I have something M-Tron related in my collection! I suppose I do have plans to use a pair of M-Tron small box doors on a spaceship I built, as Brickonium storage no less. So, perhaps that will be where I start my M-Tron collection! Rockatoa, Brickticks out! Oh, and good news, if it arrives from Spain in time, I should have the locomotive and rolling stock from 7740 by Christmas, so, YAY!
This is my first video from you and I really like your narration I normally put video on the background while I work on projects and a the quality of the voice-overs is what I think makes a good channel. Editing be damn, I care not if you edit like a proffesional, if your talking out of a mic from decades ago and are just winging what your saying then im not watching you
I went to my local bricks and minifigs and they had the M TRON set all with all vehicles combined but it was so expensive 🥲 but I did find so Johnny thunder figures
It’s funny, our family had an old VHS tape on which we recorded a lot of Christmas TV specials from the 80s. One of the commercials was for Star Com. I could recite that commercial by heart, even though I never played with the toys 😆
You forgot to mention the M-Tron guy from the collectible minifigure series. In my books he as a part of this lineup. I wish they'd come up with modernized versions of these classic sets.
I believe that was released the following year (1991) and might have been only in the US, as it only had one name as opposed to multiple like the other ones.
@@keltondavisLEGO do you know, as a child I actually had 3x Beacon Tracers, 2x Pulsar Chargers and 1x Vector Detector. These were part of my favourite sets. What was so great about them is that I had effectively an entire space fleet.
I've always been a strong proponent of the fact that LEGO is to be enjoyed, not just sit on a shelf. That said, having an extra sealed copy would have been nice. LOL.
I love these Lego sets. The color scheme especially. For the background on your revolving shots, why did you choose black? It was hard to see some of the details for the sets due to their black color. At times all I could see were floating green or red pieces because the black pieces blended into the back drop.
This was peak LEGO. I have no idea why the company is so insistent on forgetting the entire '90s space theme. They'll show the stuff from the '70s space all over in their games and movies.
@@keltondavisLEGO They're going to have to revive a bunch of discontinued colors then. Last I heard transparent neon orange and green had been discontinued. And funnily enough there's actually two shades of transparent neon green. Nobody seems to have caught it, but the stuff used in Blacktron II was a slightly more opaque shade of transparent neon green than what we saw in the Insectoids series etc.
Hey Kelton! what did you think of the M-Tron Powerlifter in the CMF series? I thought it was a very cool throwback to the sub theme. Got one myself and is the only M:Tron I own ahaha same with the Ice Planet Explorer
A very cool and fun serie Im lucky to have seen them in stores but unfortunatly back then I wasn’t into lego anymore I was lucky to find 3 sets when I came out of my dark years. I wish I could find more sets
I don't mean to be critical here but the choice of a black background for this video was not great. The black Lego pieces just completely disappear into it and I could not make out the silhouette of any of these sets that you reviewed.
Be as critical as you like! Black seemed a natural choice for a space theme, but I can easily see now how it can obscure some of the detail, particularly in higher contrast screens. I suppose hindsight is truly 20/20.
I think the name comes from the Mars craze from 70s and 80s. M stands for Mars rather then Magnet ... Magnets were in older sets too. Rare but present so no matter how you look at it makes no sense that the M is for Magnets. "great introduction sets" yeah rather the only ones we could actually afford ... even then not that great of a value anyway.
I never thought before about the locking mechanism in the Vector Detector 3:33 , that's classic LEGO engineering at its finest!
Revisiting the building techniques of this era has given me so many ideas for my own builds. Great stuff!
I have been looking forward to this one. Well done!
All thanks to you!
You mention all the other kinds of mini speeders with the Pulsar Charger, and man I just miss those kinds of sets. Up until I was 18, I lived out in the country with not much money for the bigger sets, so those ones were life-savers.
They were perfect entry points that kept Lego accessible to just about everyone. Loved that approach.
Glad to see these on here, my dad had the stellar recon voyager from this theme at one point.
That one’s a winner!
While the mechanism is simpler, I appreciate that even the Mobile Satellite Uplink hinges. 3 ground vehicles boasting a swivel makes the trend as much a part of M-tron’s identity as the magnets, in my eyes.
Could just as easily have been called “Swivel:Tron” 😂

“Premium built” is a great way to describe it. Just solid all around.
M-Tron is one of my favourite LEGO themes! I have several of the sets in my collection, and always wanted (but never got) the Mega Core Magnetizer.
It’s not an easy one to get! I’ll be sad to have to give this one back 😆
This channel is soo good. I love the classic space themes and minifigs so much.
Then you’re in the right place! Many more to come.
Another great retrospective, I love this theme! The colour scheme pops so good in person.
Might just be the best color scheme in all of Space.
M-Tron has always been my favorite sub theme. I just finished my collection last week!
Lucky! That’s quite the feat.
Wow, congratulations
Keep up the great work Kelton!!!
Thank you! 🙏 This one’s a special one to me, as it came out the year I was born!
I always loved the color scheme of M-Tron. Great theme and great video!

It’s not a sub theme I had much experience with as a kid, but it’s now one of my absolute favorite sub themes of Lego space. So much creativity here.
The intro / outro for this one was particularly charming!
Thanks! Gotta show off that space chopper! 😆

Please do a retro lego video on Spyrius!
I have one Spyrius set, but definitely want to do a full episode someday!
@keltondavisLEGO thanks for getting back to me I'm a HUGE Spyrius fan😊
M-Tron was my favorite theme. Lego never got better than when Blacktron, M-Tron and Space Police 1 were being released. What a time to be a kid.
The 90s will always be LEGO's golden age for me.

Lovely video! Please don't stop making these rankings, they are amazing
Thank you! Certainly not planning to stop any time soon!

Working on piecing Spyrius together. I’ve only got 1 set as of now. But it’s on the horizon!

Amazing video as always. Nice job , can’t wait to see the next video

6:57 Like in pilotwings 64
I never played that. Did they have a space copter?
@keltondavisLEGO no but when you said gyrocopter it came into my mind. There's even a destroy robot mission

I had the big 6 wheeler. Bought from a boot fair around 25 years ago for £20!

The small rower right after the charger was the only one unknown M-tron set that wasn´t in the catalogues in central Europe.

Simplemente increibles sets, tienen algo especial los sets antiguos de lego 10/10

It certainly was!
Everything was "tron" in the 80s and early 90s. Megatron, Voltron, Gravitron, Jumbotron, M-Tron, and of course 'Tron' the movie.
