Enter 1994’s Saucer Scout to round out my Spyrius collection
This set felt ubiquitous as a kid. I had it, and I’m pretty sure most of my friends did too back then. It’s about as simple yet effective as LEGO can get with a spacecraft!
So for the line that gave my generation the first leg prints, with Major Kartofski, LEGO doesn’t give too much diversity among the Spyrius crew (outside of the Big One).
Enter the Spyrius-verse, anyone?
As a huge fan of Spyrius, I’m very happy to have this little set back in the collection.
More LEGO retro spaceships and rovers to be featured soon!

Here is what I've been working on for a year or so on my computer in LDD, and more recently in real life. Overall this 101 studs long beast in real life is quite light, although it's not to easy to hold while taking a photo... I had to have another person help me with this picture as the 14 top and bottom stands that keep it level on the table don't make very good holding points for flight!
The eight yellow triangular things are movable solar panels, while the cockpit seats two Classic Space mini-figures. The large super-laser emitter on the front is a Death Star-like cannon, used only in times of last resort against unfathomable enemies to the normally peaceful Classic Space fleet. (this would mean potential Blacktron, Robotron or Spyruis incursions, if it hadn't been sent into a Black Hole and time traveled back 200,000 years within minutes of first coming online in 1988.)
This dragon was designed as a prototype biological-machine hybrid for scouting out in space for objects of unfamiliar origin in Blacktron 3 territory. It used a recently-discovered dead race of space dragons' DNA in combination with robotic technology to quickly achieve this goal. As the DNA was degraded significantly, and the robotic tech tried and tested, it was felt to combine the two would provide a failsafe option in case a suddenly aware cyber-being became a reality: a over-ride of the nervous system by a massive electrical pulse, which would kill it dead by its own power source. (basically, a kill switch) This code would be given by a super-secure secret signal delivered via hyperspace to wherever the creature was to kill it in three minutes of becoming aware. (This would be considered a mercy killing by Blacktron standards, as the being in question would be confused and in pain from cyber implants and lack of knowledge of this time / place after it's race had been wiped out.)
The first 13 prototype cyber-beings developed were deemed unworthy of being used for various reasons, such as overloading of fusion core upon primary boot-up. The 14th version, called DRAG-00N (after going alphabetically through the first 13 letters before arriving at prototype "N", plus the two number spaces for possible future firmware upgrades.) was finally approved for further tests by Blacktron High Command three Earth-years (and millions of stud-credits spent) after starting the project. The entire BT3 high command wanted to be there in person upon full boot-up, but decided not to, as it was bad luck in their eyes to be there in person after so much failure. Hologram representation would have to suffice.
It was a very smart move, considering what happened next.
The DRAG-00N, upon final boot-up, became aware within seconds, and, being so firmly entrenched with it's technological implants, deleted the fail safe from it's memory banks in the first minute, before it could even be sent out by the high command. While the creature killed everyone in a 12 mile radius of the laboratory where it was built / born, (It was still too unsteady to kill everyone by flying around yet.) the high command scrambled to get it's codes secured. They had realized the being would slice communication channels to anticipate any strikes against it... Needless to say, they failed to do that quickly enough, and in addition, it armed the planet's missiles and reactor core against any intruder coming near the planet for as long as time still marched forward or the planet's system existed.
It then left the system it was born in, but scorched everything living on that sorry rock before doing so. It flew to the next system over, which happened to be controlled by the Unitron Security League and destroyed several worlds for everything resembling life above cockroaches. (By this point, the Blacktron Commanders had been informing anyone who would listen about it's rogue robot, and trying to stop retaliatory attacks against THEM for something they technically had no control over.) It decimated everything in its path to the galactic core, leveling worlds and entire systems in its wake using it's seemingly-endless Atomic fire breath. The only thing that was thought of to give ALL systems regardless of political orientation a fighting chance of mounting a galactic resistance to their new menace, was a lone, very old Astro-bot, numbered 33 and owned by Classic Space Command.
Thirty-three was awakened, and sent on an intercept path, using all possible hyper-speed to reach the Galaxy Core all in 10 minutes. There, it met its opponent in the field of battle, above the black hole that sits smack dab in the Galactic Core's very heart. The dragon stuck first, and managed to tear off a panel on the front of ol' 33. The robot managed to get in some good shots with it's laser-eyes, before the dragon started to use it's atomic breath at close range. This had a devastating effect on 33's weapons circuitry, and almost killed the robot on the spot. Thankfully, backup arrived in the form of several fleets of varying allegiance, all bonded by the goal of killing DRAG-00N. It was a fierce battle, with several capital ships destroyed or made immobile. One Spyruis cyber-slicer frigate was thrown into the black hole itself for trying to hack the cyborg's implants by said cyborg. Eventually, a hail of fire finished off what 33 had started: the beast died with a final act of vengeance on it's attackers: it initiated the meltdown countdown of it's fusion core, which would kill everyone in the vicinity, including the assembled fleets of most of the galaxy's forces. The Astro-bot then threw the burning hulk into the black hole, which then took the brunt of the explosion when it finally died.
Astro-bot 33 went on to be fixed up and completely overhauled, but not before the assembled fleets gave their unanimous congratulations to the giant robot in the form of a treaty to mark the day, the 3rd of May here on Earth, as "Galactic Robo-Savior" day. Blacktron command even commented, saying it would destroy all materials within the dead planet where the cyborg was born concerning said creature, once it was deemed possible to do so... rumor speculates, however, that some extra copies of parts of the being's cyber-mainframe were removed from the lab it was born in before final boot-up for placement with "top scientific personnel" for future study. No one alive today knows the whole story on that... or do they?

This is a micro-scale model version of Galaxy City from Space Police III. The buildings are all buildable in real life. Two of them are LEGO sets, one is a MOD of official instructions, and the other is a MOC. The sets are the Seattle Space Needle #21003 (minus the legs), and the Death Star #9676 (it's not in LDD), while the official instructions MOD is Nexus Tower from LEGO Universe.
In-universe back-story for the four buildings:
The Classic Space Needle, albeit missing it's three legs, (The legs are not curable in LDD.) was the first building built on the future site of Galaxy City, and used to house the Universal Space Congress. It now houses the Exploration of Space Museum, dedicated to preserving the history of the known regions of space and the interactions with each other.
The dark grey building is Space Police IV's Headquarters, after the last one was destroyed in the Black Hole Gang's final battle against SPIII.
The largest building is Nexus Tower II, based on the destroyed tower in the LEGO Universe's home dimension. It contains the Imagination Nexus and the leader of the Nexus Force, Grand Admiral Bob.
The last building is not visible right now (due to foul cosmic weather) but it is situated on the purple base in the bottom left. It is the Universal Space Congress, founded by the Classic Space Astronauts in 1978 as a way to keep peace in the known Space regions. It was originally in the Classic Space Needle, but has been in "the sphere" since being constructed in 1999. (It is really made of two 'planet series' Death Star bottoms, but they aren't in LDD.) Currently, the congress has 678 1/2 member systems, but here are a few: Unitron, Blacktron, Spyruis Inc, the Nexus Force, Explorien Corporation, M:Tron Company, Insectoids / Bugoids, Martians, United Federation of Earth Nations (UFEN), Krystonians, Roboforce members, and the Futuron Alliance, to name a dozen.
Located on the icy windswept world of *CLASSIFIED* the brave men and women of Ice Station *CLASSIFIED* lead a desperate fight against the Blacktron and their allies, such as Spyruis Inc. The base was built in the mid-1980's when the harmony of Classic Space was destroyed when Blacktron was formed and took over this world. The Lego Empire soon took control when the Space Police beat back the Blacktron and gave the former Blacktron bases to a trusted few worlds. Peace was a scant 6 months young when Blacktron II and later that decade (1994) Spyriuis Inc. showed thier collective might. The soldiers of *CLASSIFIED* fought back, and the base was kept in Imperial hands for the duration of the conflict. Many more wars would ravage the base, but some new allies would come forward in those dark times. The Nexus Force has a presence on this sector, after fleeing their dimension into our universe via a wormhole located near this planet.They keep watch over the barrier between universes, making sure nothing more comes in or goes out.... except for the occasional exiting and re-entry of the TARDIS. But that's another story!

Built by the Spyruis Collective for the Blacktron leader, who remains unknown. The ship is a modified Lunar Limo with more armor and weapons than you can shake a cyber-stick at. The fellow next to the ship is not the mysterious Blacktron leader, but the second-in-command, and noly he knows the true nature of Blacktron's elusive commander-in-chief.
