Amazing! I had never noticed this part before -- my eyes only scan for
elements when I look at these catalogues, and I have this very catalogue
myself (probably in storage).
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1991/c91eu/c91eu-18.html
It reads: "Who's Who in Lego Space? M:Trons have the galaxy's best computers
and magnetic equipment. Blacktrons are spies who want to steal M:Trons
advanced equipment. Space Police have the fastest space craft in the galaxy."
But, right -- it's BT2, and everyone knows how corrupted Blacktron culture
had become by that point. Apparently, the Blacktrons were also going
colorblind, unable to distinguish between trans-antifreeze and trans-yellow.
Tsk, tsk...
Thanks go to Jason for this fascinating piece of trivia!
