Spyrius was a subtheme of LEGO theme Space in the years 1994 until 1996.
[edit] Details
Red and black, with blue cockpits, Spyrius homeworld appeared to be a craggy, desolate moon. The Spyrius took over the "bad guy" space agency theme as a group of spies out to steal technology and valuable data. Official evidence of a Spyrius attack against Unitron is documented in this 1994 catalog picture.
This nine-set theme was the first to feature robot minifigs.
Popular Spyrius vehicles include Saucer Scout and their largest starcraft the Saucer Centurion (both 1994) (which, like the Unitron's Star Hawk II, is smaller than the largest starships of other space agencies). The base was Lunar Launch Site (1994). The theme also included two robot vehicles, Recon Robot and Robo-Guardian (both 1994).
Though Spyrius officially ended in 1996, Surveillance Scooter (1995) was re-released as Space Jet in 1999.
