>>6410841Power Miners failed because it stripped away everything great about Rock Raiders. The gritty aesthetic, the semi-realistic vehicle designs, the claustrophobic nature of the artwork, and most importantly, a team of characters that were unique enough to stand out but similar enough to look like they belong and work together.
Power Miners is like a cartoon made for a 4 year old with the garish color scheme, boring minifigs, the goofy rock monsters that came in a rainbow of colors, and the ridiculously oversized vehicles. The whole theme is just obnoxious
