(...) Something to that effect. They had a few really cool Technic motorcycles with ENORMOUS tires. The technic stuff was really cool, especially talking to the designers face to face. I didn't pay much attention to the throwbots, but the Silver (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) Nope. All prototypes. That was meaning that what you saw there was _not_ guaranteed to make production. They even had a technic car with spraypainted yellow panels, because those pieces weren't made in yellow (even internally!). -Tim (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) I really have no idea. I'm not much of a Throwbot fan, so I didn't pay that much attention. I was busier talking to the Technic model designers. -Tim (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) Nick, much of the throwbots prototype stuff was not even made of ABS. It was just a plasticene mockup of possible designs or directions to take the line. Or perhaps even an entirely different line. And most were very crude. Practically molded (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

Actually, those mock-ups weren't described to me as Throwbots in any way shape of form. They looked incredible, especially the larger ones. In terms of size, they were taller than Millennia and wider too. Few (if any) Throwbot parts were evident in (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)
