Agents is a discontinued theme introduced in the Summer of 2008 and continued into 2009 as Agents 2.0. It involved an elite team of secret agents using high-powered technology to thwart the plans of an international crime syndicate led by Dr. Inferno.

Sets in the line typically contained elements from both factions in action against each other - members of the Agents, a top secret commando team tasked with investigating and preventing international crime; and the evil Dr. Inferno and his ranks of equally-maniacal associates. Each side had access to top-of-the-line technology, ranging from the minijets and mobile command units of the Agents to the ingenious weapons of destruction and mayhem devised by Dr. Inferno.

The 2008 sets are comprised of eight missions taking place across the globe. The 2009 subtheme Agents 2.0 centers largely around an urban setting, which is specified as LEGO City by the online crossover game The Robot Chronicles.

Each set featured a short comic strip on the box showing the background to that set's action.

8634 Mission 5: Turbocar Chase included a credit card-sized "identity card." Other numbered sets in the line included a star on their sticker sheets that could be applied to spaces on the card to show the agent's ranking.

The Agents line is heavily inspired by the movies of James Bond and is an over-the-top parody of action-packed spy thrillers in general. It acts as a spiritual successor to Alpha Team, and in turn was succeeded by Ultra Agents.

In 2017, an Agents Pack was released for LEGO Worlds. The Agents Pack included Agent Chase, Agent Trace, Dr. Inferno, Dyna-Mite, the glow-in-the-dark octopus, and 4 vehicles from the Agents theme. It was initially exclusive to the PlayStation 4 version before being made available for all versions.

Minifigures[]

Notes[]

  • In the first Shop@Home catalogue featuring Agents, Agent Fuse and Agent Charge are erroneously shown with Trace's torso, apparently giving them female features.
  • A white Agents suit appeared in promotional LEGO Universe trailers and The Great Minifig Mission Mission 5.
  • An ad for this theme was shown on the online game Poptropica.
