The intergalactic monopoly and terrorist group, Blacktron Technologies, might have finally won total power. After years of denying any wrong-doings and bloody wars, the power hungry corporation was finally going to win. Nobody was aware of the situation until one day at a Galactic Council meeting a small robotic tank crashed through the wall of the headquarters, alerting every available protection unit.
When units reached the scene, they fell down laughing. A tank the size of a large cat was in the middle of the room. A screen on it flashed, "Do what we say or perish horribly."
The leader of the Council hysterically proceeded to type a response to whomever was the cause of this prank when a huge explosion suddenly rocked the building.

Okay, the Grid Trekkor may not be the size of a large cat in mini-fig scale but it is pretty small. Its dimensions are a mere 7 studs long by 4 studs wide. It is a small ground rover that can barely seat one mini-fig equipped with a groovy jetpack.
The front has a movable satellite dish or light of some sort and a long translucent-green antenna is mounted to the side as a laser-like weapon. The chassis rests on four little rubber tires. The Blacktron 2 fig is the same as all of the others except that he has that awesome jetpack mentioned above.
To make alternate models with this set, you would probably have to dig down deep into the creative part of your brain. I really don't recommend this set, but get it just to have another Blacktron 2 figure and the jetpack.
