Original Plans
The Ultimate Lego book contained concept art for Lego Rock Raiders on pages 30–31, showing how the theme developed over time. The original plans were vastly different:
- Different outfit designs for the Rock Raiders, with goggles and scarfs.
- Mysterious aliens traveling with the Rock Raiders.
- Rock Monsters were larger, and some had tails and acted more like animals.
- The Chrome Crusher appears with two drills (similar to its upgraded form in the Rock Raiders PC Game) and no laser.
- The Loader Dozer has a drill and a gun.
- A scrapped flying rocket-like vehicle which somewhat resembles the Tunnel Scout.
- A scrapped vehicle with robotic arms, a drill and laser turrets.
- A Mobile Rock Raiders HQ, with Crystal and Ore Refineries and giant arms.
- A Hover Scout with cargo capacity.
Other pictures in the book included:
- Different Granite Grinder, much sleeker look.
- Ice-themes Loader Dozer.
- Ice Monsters in a set.
- Flying transport truck.
Had the theme been more successful, these elements might have been reconsidered.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or plans:
“The product of mental labor—science—always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
