>>9967006The figures, star defender, and monorail are all the coolest parts, but overall it just feels like its missing some personality that the later space themes had.
All of their functions / gimmicks were done better later, and the color scheme is quite boring - much like how exploriens is not nearly as loved as the other factions unique and striking colors, neon, high contrast, etc.
They definitely pioneered space overall, but they were a stop gap between classic and the truly great era. A lot of the later classic space sets were more interesting and actually seemed more futuristic than futuron.
I wish I liked them more, but I just don't. Even the star defender was just done better with blacktron 2's aerial intruder. I suppose there is value in having a civilian faction, but it's sort of like how a basic creator town building isn't exactly inspiring.
