M-Tron Powerlifter
M-Tron were the heavy-work crew of LEGO space in 1990: haulage, cargo, magnets. The Powerlifter puts that red-and-black uniform back on and fills both hands with lifting gear.

About this minifigure
The figure sticks to the job literally — it does not explore and it does not fight, it lifts. Among aliens and robots, an ordinary workman looks surprisingly fresh, and instead of a blaster his hands are full of working kit.
Parents have an easy time explaining the point of him: he is a space crane at human scale, made for playing at bases, depots and unloading cargo on an alien world. He pairs well with construction sets, because he speaks the same language as diggers and tower cranes.
For collectors he is one of the main reasons to own Series 26 complete. The red-and-black colour scheme with its distinctive logo quotes the 1990s directly, and for a great many adult fans M-Tron was the first space line they can remember from childhood.
Did you know: The figure's second face shows a screen with a battery-charge readout, and the original M-Tron sets of 1990 held their cargo on magnets.
