I chose them by colour and appearance.  But if you are a Throwbot expert and
you say Granite is lame, I'll trust you.  I thought Amazon would look good
protecting the sun disk at the 5936 Spider's Secret.  I don't like Jet at all,
except for the fact that he's 42 pieces instead of 32 pieces like Granite.  I
just think Jet is ugly.  I do like Ski, he is one of my favourites too.  He
might make the Arctic scene more winter-like than just a bunch of big orange
vehicles wandering around.

Well, Granite's big limitation is that he's a four-legger.  Arms and legs just
make for more posability.  At least Turbo has wheels and Electro has wings,
Granite just has pickaxes that wack his own front legs.  However, if you're
going for a diorama and have got something that tan color will fit right in
with, be my guest.

And while I'm on the topic, a plug for my own page, hopefully I'll get the 4
new Throwbots and the Roboriders in there soon:

(...) It (...) disc (...) One thing that is cool about the Throwbots line is that the non-throwing limbs are cool for mecha building. Check out what I've done with them on my website, Moonbase Io at (URL) . Todd Amacher (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)
