8520 Millennia Throwbot, released in Europe as 8520 Millennium Slizer, is a 1999 Slizer/Throwbots set.

Description[]

As the largest Slizer set, it contains 135 pieces that can be built into two models: a large robot, or a smaller robot riding a motorcycle. In either configuration, both of the robot's arms can throw discs.

Background[]

When a meteor struck the Slizer planet on New Year's Eve 2000, Millennium/Millennia is one of the new Slizers that emerged from the crater. His origins are unknown, as he is sometimes described separately from the three mutant Slizers, with whom he battles for supremacy;[1] in most other instances, he is grouped together with them as the leader of the new Slizer generation, attacking the surviving heroic Slizers from the previous generation.[2][3][4][5] In the final piece of the Throwbots theme's storyline, Millennia battles Blaster in the "Battle of the Big Bots". It is unknown who won the battle of the century, with LEGO leaving the victor up to the audience.[6]

The Millennium Slizer and his bike are inseparable. He is the quickest thinker of the new Slizer generation, which makes him their natural leader. His two firing arms and his warp speed make him notorious throughout the Planet Slizer. Mission: to take over the entire planet. Equipment: two disc-throwing arms, spoiler-wings (to keep him on the road at warp speed), bike with special turbo-warp twin-engine (top speed unknown).
