Slizer

The Slizers was a line of Lego toys released in 1999 similar to Bionicle. They were known as Throwbots in the United States but were called Slizers in Europe. The name Throwbots refers to the unique disk-throwing function the toys had. Eight of them were released characters.

Dual Stories

Two variations of the storyline existed; American and European, each with different names for the characters and settings. In the 'Multiple Planets' Storyline, the Slizers had Eight respective planets where each of the eight dwelled respectively: Fiery wasteland, aquatic world, overgrown jungle, the icy mountains, the industrial city, the stormy fields and the rocky canyons. The Eighth planet- Judge Slizer's- served as the point where they dueled or disputes were settled. Each of them battled the native mutant wildlife or other threats native to their planet. It is debated whether or not this story will diverge into the following 'Singular Planet' Storyline.

The 'Singular Planet' storyline was that there were Eight robots fighting a war against each other on One Planet split into Seven even continents/ regions- with the Slizer Dome situated at the North Pole. In this storyline, some have gone to some lengths to say that there were two sides- Four were 'Good' (Fire, Ice, City & Sub), and the other four were 'Evil' (Judge, Jungle, Rock & Energy). The concept of facing their respective natural threats in their zones were present, with the inclusion that each of them was trying to find an additional mineral, fuel or other item to make themselves stronger. Such as: Lava-Diamond[Fire], Air-Pearls[Sub], Ice-Crystals[Ice], Super-Fuel[City], Herbal-Treesap[Jungle], Liquid-Plasma[Rock], Atom-Energy[Energy]. The last power-up for Judge is unknown. Perhaps a Solar-Aura to take control over the planet.

In either storyline, all the characters/ both sides were evenly matched. The story reached a climax when a Meteor struck the Slizer Planet and blew apart half the planet; annihilating the Energy, Rock and Jungle Regions, and heavily damaging the Slizer Dome; where the Judge Slizer resided.

This part of the story is never fully explained, some believe the new Slizers were brought by the asteroid, or were unburied by the asteroid. However most believe the asteroid mutated the Jungle, Energy, Rock and Judge Slizers.

The 2000 Slizer story was never explained properly, which left dedicated fans with many unanswered questions. This was because the toy line was ended with the sudden release of the LEGO Technic Roboriders toyline in December 1999. Soon after- the Bionicle toyline was released.

Characters

Torch the Fire Slizer

The Fire Slizer resides in the Volcanic Sector and fights off lava monsters. The volcanic sector is one of the most dangerous sectors on the planet. 30-mile high volcanoes, lava and fire glaciers, firestorms and constant volcanic eruptions. Torch's arch enemy is the infurno monster. Fire is equipped with a throwing disk. In the Faction storyline, he plays the leader of the protagonists. His design is a bit awkward as his arms are at the top and the head and legs are on the bottom giving him a hunched, brawling look. He is among the four who survived the Millennium Meteor's impact. Torch collects "Lava Stone" to increase his flamethrower.

Scuba the Sub Slizer

This Slizer is also know as Aqua, resides underwater in the Ocean Sector. Exploding with life. Fish, giant wails, billions of sea creatures. But in the darker parts are were the sea monster live. That is where Scuba's main enemy lives, the giant jelly fish.His secondary weapon is an energy harpoon. Scuba's design is based off a deep-sea diver, featuring a breathing apparatus and a propeller on his back. He occupied himself with the accumulation of rare pearls before the meteor struck. Sub colects "Air Pearls" to breath underwater.

Ski the Ice Slizer

Ski inhabits and patrols the frozen Glacial Sector between the City Sector and the Ocean Sector. It is combletly covered in ice and snow. it is the coldest sector. and in the higher altatudes, Ski's arch nemessis, the avalach monster. Beside his primary disk thrower, his secondary weapon is a ski-pole, which may fire energy attacks. He concerns himself with whatever creatures lurk in the region before the Meteor impact. Ski colects "Ice Crystals" to inhance his melee pole.

Turbo the City Slizer

Turbo resides in the Urban Sector. The small buildings are 2000 feet high, and the big ones are over a mile and a half tall. Some reaching to space. As big as it is there is lots of criminals. But this city is so huge, many of the giant building don’t have any people in them. People make a lot of factories, which cause greened skies, polluted water and waste. City's is very fast but his arch enamy is also fast, the giant simi-trucks. Turbo's design is unique among the Slizer, designed as a singlehanded car with a throwing arm on the right side of the body. He quests for a special fuel that will allow him to achieve blinding speeds, in addition to slaying Mutant Vehicles. He survived the meteor strike. Turbo colects "Power Fuel" to increse his fantastic speed.

Jet the Judge Slizer

This sky flyer resided at the Slizer Dome or the Sky Sector at the planet's pole. It resembles giant parking lots or helicopter pads, due to its gravelled open spaces. It is also lit up with spotlights to look out for enemies in the sky. There are also metallic pyramids that stand alone in the mists and huge blue clouds in the sky. Jet has two throwing-arms instead of a secondary weapon. He is unique among Slizer as he is capable of flight with two wings mounted with propellers. A simple gear system flaps the wings when his head is pulled, identical to the Nui-Rama. He is the leader of the evil faction in some storylines. He is believed to have died when the meteor blew apart most of his Slizer Dome. Jet dos not colect anything in particular, but in his picture its shown as a solar radiation.

Amazon the Jungle Slizer

This Slizer resided in the rugged Jungle Sector, of foliage and rivers. This is the overgrown part of the world. The trees reach over 2000 feet high. There are 2 worlds to this sector. The canopy world and the swamp world. The canopies of the huge trees are big enough to have roads and houses on the branches. And The swamp world is were the main eating plants and animals are. like Amazon's main enemy, the giant carnivorous plant. Jungle design is humanoid, but he wears a feral mask reminiscent of a jungle cat. His secondary weapon is a black katana, presumably repurposed as a jungle machete. He is believed to have died in the meteor explosion. Jungle colects "Herbal Treesap" to increase his machete attacks.

Granite the Rock Slizer

Granite resided in the Mountain Sector of the planet. This is the canyon-cut sector. Huge rock formation, earth-quacks and sand storms are local here. But there is plasma every were. Plasma clouds plasma rivers and plasma stones. But the deeper thret is the skull rock monster. Granite's secondary weapons are his pick axes located on his shoulders which can pivot to attack. His design is that of an insect. His throwing arm is unusually mounted on his back, making accurate throws impossible. He is able to fire energy bolts from his disk launcher and his pickaxes. His region was blown apart by the Meteor Impact. Granite colects "Liquid Plasma" to increas his energy shields.

Electro the Energy Slizer

Also known as Electro Slizer, He resides in the volatile Storm Sector. The constant storm covered plains has not much inhabitance but Electro. The swirling storm is to dangerouse. the landscape is unknown, for the clouds are much to thick to even see the ground. but Electro must fight Electric vortexes. He is the only one not to have a secondary weapon, but instead he releases electrical bursts from his body. this slizer is also designed as a quadruped insect. He is believed to have been destroyed when his region was annihilated. Electro collects "Electric Radiation" to boost his flying speeds.

Millennia the Millennium Slizer

This Slizer is unique since he has two builds, one of them is a tiny Slizer riding a huge motorcycle while the other is a large Slizer nearly the same size as Blaster Slizer. He appeared before the Meteor impact, his origins are unclear. His design is a landmark in Technic robots as his armor-plated bulk and articulated compound joints became a mainstay in larger figures.

Blaster the Blaster Slizer

This menacing Slizer is the leader of the evil robots that emerged from the meteor ruins. He resides in either the City Region or the ruins of the Slizer Dome. He wields a blast shield capable of firing bursts in his left hand and his right hand is a double throwing arm. Contrary evidence can be found on the picture of his throwing disk, which features Blaster navigating rugged terrain flanked by similarly colored and designed Slizer. However, these companions were never released as sets and the mystery still stands.His colors are yellow and black, similar to the former Judge Slizer, making it conceivable that the Judge Slizer was fused with the Jungle Slizer (Due to his faceplate, one side Judge's the other side Jungle's face) consumed by the meteor. or the Judge Slizer/Jungle Slizer reborn.

Spark the Spark Slizer

The Spark Slizer descended upon the Fire Region in the aftermath of the Meteor. His secondary weapon seems like a twin barrelled weapon which can fire energy blast and doubles as a shield. Fan Theories speculate that this is Energy Slizer reborn.

Flare the Flare Slizer

Flare Slizer is the strangest of all because his design is that of an amalgamation of Ice, Fire, and Energy. He has skis, (landing skids)wings and flight, (Energy Slizer)and a Natural affinity for Fire- (He has descended upon the Fire Region) His throwing arm balances by acting as a tail. Again, Fan Theories speculate that this is the Rock Slizer reborn.
