I never got many sets, but I think they are so cool! You can see two M:tron
creations a t my page, one mech and a small, very small, spaceship. The Mech
is not really M:tron, it has too few black pieces in it.
http://i.am/tobias_m/ , that´s my URL. I really enjoyed all of the M:tron
sets that I had, but now, they´re mixed up in my bucket of lego.
I have been thinking of an M:tron base, using one or two quarter domes in
neon-yellow. Start with a normal, big gray baseplate. Then, some sort of
ramp for driving small cars in and out of the base. The set should have 4
minifigs, and come with two cars and a spaceship. The spaceship landing pad
is located to the left of the base itself, but it is connected to the base
via a bridge. inside the two cuarter domes, that could split up like in the
Exploriens base, there is computers, storage for the cars (that could be
located below the floor).
I don´t know what to do about the open feeling of only using 2 domes. The
dome could act as the back wall, and then the open front is where you
"control" the minifigs.
