Altair is a Martian minifigure from the Life on Mars theme, introduced in 2001.

Description[]

Altair uses the standard Martian build, with bright yellowish green torso and legs and bright bluish green arms and head. His head is printed with eyes and drooping eyelids, small white freckles, and what appears to be orange hair on his head; however, since The Test describes all Martians as bald, it is unclear whether this is actually meant to represent hair.

Background[]

Altair is a friend of Mizar, and he does not believe that the human astronauts are enemies.[1] He is one of the best Martian pilots and is known for driving the Red Planet Cruiser too fast, listening to strange music, and eating Jeezbirgrs.

In Лёгкое потрясение! (Slight Shock!), Altair has become friends with BB, although their fun with Aero Tube hypersleds interrupts Riegel and Doc's important work. They fly a small craft and discover Riegel and Doc trapped on unstable ground, so they quickly get help.

Altair appears in all version of LEGO Racers 2 as a minor NPC who does not partake in races. In the PC and PlayStation 2 versions, he is near the Aero Tube Hangar, laughing as he tells the racer that he hid a Golden Brick nearby. In the Game Boy Advance version, he is found at the Excavation Searcher's hangar, where he tells the player that Martian racers use a liquid space dust formula for powering their racing crafts.

In Soccer Mania, Altair is a defender of the Martians team, which challenges the player's team during their pursuit of the Brickster. His stats (out of a maximum of 272) are 240 speed, 240 shooting, 272 passing, 272 tackling, and 48 goalkeeping.[2] This marks Altair's only playable appearance in a video game.

ALTAIR (say all-tar)
Altair is one of the younger Martians. He listens to strange music and drives his RP Cruiser too fast. Even so, he is one of the best pilots on Mars. His name, like the star Altair, means "The Flying Eagle."
