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.
1988 LEGO Sets
In 1988, Castle introduced the Black Knights era with imposing fortresses and dragon heraldry, while Town delivered large, feature-packed sets such as racetracks and service complexes. Futuron and Blacktron—introduced the prior year—remained central to Space, with sleek exploration craft set against bold, antagonist designs.
