Mission Deep Freeze is an Alpha Team subtheme, that ran from 2004-2005.
Story[]
Evil Ogel is planning to use his new Ice Orbs to freeze the world. Alpha Team searches the globe for his new base, eventually tracking him to his Mountain Fortress in Antarctica. Radia discovers the truth about Ogel's master plan to freeze time itself; Ogel freezes her to keep the rest of Alpha Team from finding out, but she is rescued by Diamond Tooth in his Tundra Tracker.
Ogel's climate tampering disrupts the time stream, briefly causing Prehistoric Creatures and Titan XP to appear in World City, Morcia, and Yavin 4. Although Alpha Team makes it past Ogel's Ice Drone legions, they are instantly frozen by Ogel, who succeeds in freezing the rest of the world and even time itself.
The team is saved by Zed, an Alpha Team special agent, who was protected from the time freeze by his Blizzard Blaster, which was equipped for such an event. He defrosts the Alpha Team agents and then goes to destroy Ogel's fortress. He is interrupted when Ogel himself attacks Zed in his Scorpion Orb Launcher. The LEGO Magazine invited members to send in submissions of what they thought would happen in the battle, although they were not published in the magazine and members did not see the end of the battle. However, it is generally assumed that Zed defeated Ogel.
In the United Kingdom, the penultimate comic has a different ending. After the Tyrannosaurus rex defeats Titan XP in World City, Ogel's time freeze ray is sucked into the time portals and potentially causes the Ice Age. Dash's emergency beacon activates Alpha Team's global geo-thermal de-icer, freeing himself and his teammates without Zed's help.[1] While unconfirmed, it is likely that the final comic did not run in the UK magazine.

Notes[]
- The subtheme was never officially named anything but "Alpha Team" during its run, with K4748 ALPHA TEAM Deep Freeze Collection being the only use of "Deep Freeze" in official media at the time.[2] However, fans took to calling it "Mission Deep Freeze" on forums online,[3] which LEGO eventually officially adopted and used in later books that mentioned the theme, such as The LEGO Book.
- The subtheme had an animated commercial produced at Treehouse Animation, the same company that created LEGO Star Wars: Revenge of the Brick. Royce Graham was the director, and Carlos Sandoval was the lead animator, modeler and rigger. Sandoval uploaded a "Promotional DVD Art Cover" for the commercial on his portfolio,[4] although the commercial was never known to be released on DVDs.
