- This article is about the Exploriens minifigure. For the Rocket Racers character, see Gypsy Moth.
Ann Droid[1][2] is a robot minifigure from the Exploriens theme in 1996.
Description[]
Ann Droid's body is white with black hands, featuring robotic printing on her torso, hip, and legs. She has a transparent head with robotic face printing and a transparent fluorescent green light on top of her head. She is also seen with a dark grey helmet with a transparent fluorescent green visor. Her prints are very similar to the previous Space droid Major Kartofski, suggesting both droids are the same model.
Background[]
Ann Droid is an Exploriens droid programmed by Nova Hunter to locate aliens. She is a valuable asset, leading to the Spyrius robots attempting to steal her.[1] Her brother, Andy Droid, was abducted by Zotaxian UFOs and reprogrammed as their techdroid, although his memory banks tingle whenever they see each other.[3]
In The Adventures of the LEGO Maniac comic Adventures in Space with the LEGO Exploriens, the LEGO Maniac rescues Ann Droid from a robo-napping on planet Spyrius.[4][5] In Adventures at the Nebula Outpost, she is assigned a mission to deliver presents to the Nebula Outpost on Christmas but accidentally loses the gifts though the Explorien Starship's broken hatch, so the LEGO Maniac recruits Dr. Cyber, Thresher, and Sheriff Wild Wyatt West to help her.[6][7]
Ann Droid is featured as a CPU racer in Circuit 1 and Circuit 4 of the video game LEGO Racers, representing the Exploriens-themed Magma Moon Marathon track on the menu. Her minifigure parts are available by default in the character builder. She does not appear in the Game Boy Color version as a CPU racer, although her headlight, torso, and legs are available in Build mode.

Ann Droid Programmed by the original space cowboy, Nova Hunter, Ann is a one-of-a-kind alien finder. Her one weakness is clearly her head. Ann must put No. 1,536 sunscreen over her entire head when she is out in the sun. Otherwise, her circuits could overheat and cause her to malfunction. Favorite food: Circuit peanuts |
