That's not true. It was a two year line, with sets introduced
for it in both 1987 and 1988.
Notable, because. comparing the first line of sets with the ones
introduced the following year, you can tell which is which by
whether they use the octagonal corridor system elements. The
MIB does, so it was a year-2 blacktron set, as does the Alienator.
The Renegade doesn't, so it's a year-1 set, as are the Invader
and Battrax.
