Set Information

Throwbots artwork for the set in its large bot form

The Millennium Slizer set was released in 2000, although was available as early October 1999 in some regions.[3][4] It was part of the Slizer line. The set was known as Millennia Throwbot in America, where it was instead part of the Throwbots line. Containing 137 pieces, it is the largest individual set in both lines.

Features

Unlike other sets in the line, the set features two different models, which can not be built at the same time. One model features a larger version of the Slizer instead of the vehicle. The second model features the Millennium Slizer in a small form riding a large red bike. In the Throwbots line, the second form is known as the Millennia Motorcycle.[2]

In both forms, Millennium Slizer has a pair of flexible arms which can launch one of the included throwing discs. The bike is also able to store both discs.

Collectibles

The Millennium Slizer set contains a black level 8 disc themed after 8504 Judge Slizer, and a drum lacquered gold level 9 disc unique to this set.
