Futuron was a LEGO Space line of 1987 to 1989 and the direct successor of Classic Space, with the same planet logo on its astronauts and a white and blue colour scheme with transparent yellow canopies. The minifigures wore new printed suits in four colours. Futuron arrived in the same year as Blacktron, the first space villains, and the catalogues showed the two sides racing each other.
1987 LEGO Sets
1987 reshaped core worlds: Futuron and Blacktron established a new Space rivalry, and the Forestmen arrived in Castle with woodland hideouts and outlaw flair. Early computer-control experiments appeared in the Technic ecosystem, foreshadowing later programmable systems. Across the portfolio, factions and clearer narratives became a defining design focus.
