Throwbot/Slizer Disk

---Today's Brick---

Name: Throwbot/Slizer disk

Size: 5 diameter, 1 thick

Color(s): Several


Back in the late 1990's, Lego introduced a theme called Throwbots in the US, and Slizer in Europe. This theme focused on the adventures of various disk-slinging robots. Each robot had different colored disks that they flung, using a special type of arm.


Although six sets were introduced originally, there ended up being around a dozen Throwbot/Slizer sets when the theme was discontinued around 2000/2001.


Tomorrow, I'll look at one of the arms you can shoot these disks with.
