Modularity
This entire set is based on the concept of modularity, and the key to
that modularity is the attachment concept shown in the image. Many of
the 9 modules in the set connect using a pair of pins and a central axle
in a protruding 2x2 box. This system is strong and secure, but
consumes a lot of space.

|
Module 1
The first module is a two wheeled rear chassis with a seat. The
red vertical arms are for attaching things that don't belong there.
|
|
|
Module 2
The second module is a two wheeled front end with steering. It is the most traditional looking module.
|
|
|
Module 3
The third module is..... well I don't know what it is. A tower can
be rotated through a worm gearbox, and a pole reverser handle at the
top can be used to attach various bits.
|
|
|
Module 4
The fourth module is the front end of a motorcycle or Reliant Robin.
|
|
|
Module 5
The fifth module is a bevel gearbox for making things rotate. It works well with the rotor.
|
|
|
Module 6
The sixth module is a single cylinder engine with an 8 tooth gear that can be driven by an axle.
|
|
|
Module 7
The seventh module is a two blade rotor.
|
|
|
Module 8
The eighth module is a geared propeller.
|
|
|
Module 9
The final module is a radar dish which can be mounted stationary or made to rotate.

Combinations
With so many modules, you can imagine that they can be combined in a
significant number of ways. The photos to the right show a number
of ways that I came up with, but many more are possible. Try to
pick a favorite. Given that none of them are very plausible, my
favorite is the least plausible of all shown last.
In the photos you can see some additional decorate elements which
compliment the modules. There are some wings, some flexible axles,
and some skis.

Dude
But wait, that's not quite all. This set also comes with an
eccentric Technic figure who apparently came up with all these things in
his garage.
This figure style is the most common, appearing in 6 sets.
