“Each model featured a hand or claw made of a flexible material which could grip a disc and then, after being bent back, throw the disc. The system didn't work very well at all which may explain why this theme didn't last very long, but the basic idea of such models was... More continued with Roboriders and eventually Bionicle.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The Turbo Slizer is a standout in the Slizer lineup due to its unique car-like design. With a striking teal, black, and yellow color scheme, Turbo rolls smoothly on flat surfaces with its rubber tires, making it fun for racing play. The set’s gear-based mechanism adjusts the front section for added versatility, though the disc-throwing arm can feel unbalanced and awkwardly placed.”
