Power Miners - Thunder Driller Revenge

Power Miners was one of my favorite Lego themes growing up. I was always drawn to the originality of the builds and characters. Space, pirates, Vikings, ninjas, and the Wild West were all commonplace in pop culture and toys, but crystal miners in wacky vehicles fighting evil rock monsters? That was something unique to Lego. I remember my brother and I combined the parts from all of our sets of the theme into one box to create our own lime green and orange underground vehicles.

Probably the most iconic set that I owned was the Thunder Driller, so I decided give my own take on it at a smaller scale, while still keeping the original roll-and-drill function. I also decided to put my own spin on the story. Some time after the mining expedition, Brains is back in his lab studying the crystals. But deep underground, Firox has commandeered the abandoned Thunder Driller to make his way up to the surface and reclaim what is rightfully his.

I hope you enjoyed my build, thanks for checking it out!
