     (...) Ice Planet? (...) M:Tron? (fairly sure about this, but who knows, I just remember thinking that they were "glow-in-the-dark" due to the "glow" effect on the box photos). (24 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

     (...) No, those are trans yellow. Blacktron's colour scheme is Black/(trans) Yellow with a bit of trans Red. If I recall correctly, even the technic wheel pins on the Battrax were black instead of grey. (24 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
