You're right, the disks are not random.  The picture on the box shows exactly
which disks you get.  Boxes of five discs are $2.50 from Lego Shop at Home.
(Incedentally, so are boxes of four RoboRider wheels.)

The website http://www.technic-uk.co.uk/ has a technic magazine scanned from
last year or so that shows rear-view pictures of the two super Throwbots.
Okay, it's not instructions but they are fairly easy to figure out by
examination.  Fortunately, the latest four Throwbots do have complete
instructions for the combined forms.

So are there available complete instructions for the combined bots? Or
are we expected to just figure it out from the pictures? (Which wouldn't
be unduly difficult, but is more work than I care to put into it.)

On an only slightly related note, I wonder why TLG put "Discs are
randomly placed into Throwbots sets" on the disc posters, when it's
obvious that they are not. My set of eight first-year Throwbots,
purchased at different stores over a period of about a year, just
happens to have garnered me a perfect set of the two topmost discs on
the posters for each bot. And each set contained in it the topmost disc
for that bot. Hardly likely if its truly random. Which also begs the
question, where does one get the other discs? (Not that I actually want
to collect discs; I have no use for them. I'm just curious.)

Forgive me if this isn't the right group to ask this question in...there doesn't seem to be a dedicated Throwbots group on Lugnet. I just finally completed my collection of first-year Throwbots, with the hopes of being able to make the giant (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
