“Its weapons are two laser beams and Wheel Launcher. It is associated with rock. It can be combined with 8514 Power to form a larger Roborider. The combination however, is a bipedal machine, rather then a motorcycle type. Onyx can also be combined with other roboriders to... More create other combiners.”

“The Roboriders were released in 2000 and overlapped the Slizers. Like the Slizers, they departed from the usual Technic subject matter and parts. In this case, rather than anthropomorphic robots we have robotic motorcycles. Four of them were micro sized models with almost... More no features at all, six were small sized play sets with a single feature, and the final model was substantially larger.”
