Description[edit | edit source]

This set contains a base and two vehicles. The vehicle is a small 4-wheeler, with a bucket for carrying boulders. It is piloted by one of the Rock Raiders. It goes into a small part of the base, which fits it perfectly. Its colour scheme is yellow, teal, and dark grey. The air vehicle is much like a cross between a Hover Scout and a Hoverboard. It is piloted by Jet. It uses hover propulsion, so it doesn't have a propulsion system like larger air vehicles. This vehicle has a docking station for itself on the base.

The Base itself is on a unique baseplate. It has multiple parts: an energy production/storage area with a power crystal, a crane station for dropping boulders onto vehicles, a boulder splitter underneath the crane, and a rotating laser perched at the highest point for drilling or fighting off Rock-Monsters. The base uses the same colour palette as the vehicle.

Background[edit | edit source]

The Rock Raiders, travelers from a distant planet, landed on Planet U because they were running out of fuel. Luckily, they discovered that the crystals used to power their ship could be found there. However, those same crystals were the food supply of Rock, Ice, and Lava Monsters. They had to fight them to get the power crystals and return back home.
