The Aquanauts are one of the two factions that appeared with the introduction of Aquazone in 1995.
The Hydronauts from 1998 were called Aquanauts outside the US.
Details
In the original Aquazone line, the heroic Aquanaut miners fought against the villainous Aquasharks and their leader Thrasher for control of the crystal mines. The Aquanauts were a group of miners based at the Neptune Discovery Lab, who utillised submarines and submersibles of all shapes and sizes to look for Hydrolator crystals, presumably to make oxygen, or to sell.
The yellow base color of the subs and the bowl-shaped cockpit pieces gave the Aquanauts a rather realistic appearance that was close to actual mini submarines. However, the second wave in 1996 brought a vessel that featured wheels.
Aquanaut Minifigures
An Aquanaut Commander Minifig
There are three types of Aquanaut minifigures, the Technician, the Diver and the Commander. All have standard black sleeves, zipped and belted suit with logo, white hips and blue legs. Also the standard top is the Aquanaut white diver suit, with built in propellor. Most have flippers and 2 knives as standard.
- The Technician has a 'radio' head, with microphone, and a black visor.
- The Diver has a head with ginger hair and green sunglasses. Black visor.
- The Commander has a head with freckles and a red headband with the letter C in the middle. They are usually in the drivers seat in subs, and have Trans-blue visors.
New or exclusive pieces
Some Aquanaut-Unique pieces
With the Aquanaut range came all sorts of new pieces, most notably the printed control panels and hinged panels, as pictured below. The Large Transparent Blue Dome is thought to be a new piece for Aquazone too. Many fans were pleased the panels were printed and did not rely on stickers.
