Slizer/Throwbots
Slizer was a line of Lego toys released in 1999 similar to BIONICLE and, Lego RoboRiders. They were known as Throwbots in North America but were called Slizers in Europe. The name Throwbots refers to the unique disk-throwing function the toys had, and as for the name Slizer, it could be to describe the bots that use disks to slice their enemies with.
Twelve types of characters were released in 1999.
Dual stories
Two variations of the storyline existed: North American and European, which are generally very similar, even though each story has different names for the characters and settings.
North American Story
In the North American 'Multiple Planets' Storyline, the Slizers had eight respective planets where each of the eight dwelled respectively: the fiery wasteland, the aquatic world, the overgrown jungle, the icy mountains, the industrial city, the stormy fields, and the rocky canyons. The eighth planet, the Judge Dome, served as the point where they dueled or disputes were settled. Each of them battled the native mutant wildlife or other threats to their planet. It is debated whether or not this story will diverge into the following "Singular Planet" storyline.
