The Rock Monsters get into trouble, as seen in a 3D animation from. One of their lower bases is Lavatraz, for the detainment and containment of errant Lava Monsters. They encounter Lava Monsters, and are equipped with mining vehicles with water cannons to fight the Lava Monsters. They don new silver clothing and armour to protect themselves from the heat. In the 2010 theme, the miners travel farther underground. The profile for Doc on the Power Miners' website in 2009 mentioned a "Portal", suggesting that there is a large hole leading into the underground. In order to investigate the cause of several mysterious rumblings on the surface, the Power Miners were sent underground by the government, where they encountered the Rock Monsters and enigmatic energy crystals. The four main characters are: Doc, the leader of the team Rex, the engineer Duke, the mining veteran and Brains, the top scientist.

The Power Miners have a large base- 8709 Underground Mining Station-and also a mobile drilling rig- 8964 Titanium Command Rig-which acts as a portable secondary base. Most of the vehicles are equipped with drills and include elaborate gear mechanisms. The eponymous Power Miners are a group of mining specialists who have a large variety of mining vehicles and equipment at their disposal, such as piloted bipedal robots and tracked vehicles. Power Miners also implemented several features that only appeared in the planning stage of Rock Raiders, such as the concept of a mobile base and a common uniform for the miner minifigures. Additionally, each character-with the inclusion of the Rock Monsters-is named. However, unlike in its predecessor, the Rock Monsters play a bigger role and are included in nearly every set. The theme reprises several elements that were already present in the Rock Raiders theme ten years earlier, such as the occurrence of Rock Monsters and Energy Crystals. This piece has also been used in Space Police III, Toy Story, and Agents 2.0. Some of these are drills, special spiked wheels, Lava and Rock Monsters, and Dynamite that is three-dimensional as opposed to the more traditional 2-by-1 plate. Power Miners has introduced many new parts. As an exception, the two promotional sets, 8907 Rock Hacker and 8908 Monster Launcher, do not include either a miner-in the case of 8908-or a Rock Monster (in the case of 8907).Ī Power Miners online game called " Rock Rocket" was released on November 28th of 2008. The Power Miners are dressed in blue and gray clothing, and their vehicles are green and orange in a fashion similar to that of real-world mining equipment this is a fundamental difference between this theme and Rock Raiders, which is more futuristic.Īll of the theme's sets include at least one of the Power Miners and one of their vehicles, as well as one or more Rock Monsters, except 8962 Crystal King, which only contains the Crystal King himself and two of the miners with a small, hand-held drilling unit. The team decide to attempt to collect and mine the crystals in order to stop the monsters from consuming them and causing more of the "rumblings" on the surface. While there, the Power Miners discover the Energy Crystals and the Rock Monsters.
