LEGO Agents is a theme which began in the summer of 2008. It continued in 2009 with Agents 2.0. Many of the sets involve the Agents thwarting evil plots through such means as retrieving an energy crystal, or stopping a giant robot's attack on the city. Each LEGO Agents set comes with at least one agent and one villian, each with their own vehicle or base. Agents 2.0 consisted of 5 sets, and later the LEGO Agents theme discontinued. No continuations were heard of yet.

Details

The Agents theme pits two factions, the evil robotic team lead by Dr. Inferno, and the Agents, a top secret commando team tasked with protecting the world from the Inferno menace, against each other. Both sides have an immense collection of weaponry and gadgets. All of the sets involve some aspect of Dr. Inferno's quest for world-wide domination being thwarted by the Agents. In the first year, all of the environments featured were in exotic, rural locations, like the Amazon, or a volcano. In the next year, all of the battles were moved to a city environment.

Rootings

Agents has a heavy connection in the world of James Bond. Minifigures, vehicles, and many other elements are either borrowed then retooled, or are nearly carbon-copied from James Bond movies (for example, the car in 8634 has a very similar appearance to some of James Bond's various Aston Martins). Agents 2.0 is not as strong in this relation as its predecessor, but still maintains somewhat of a connection.

Future sets

Agents was discontinued in 2010, and no future sets or questioning of bringing the theme back have been announced.

Subthemes

Agents only had one sub theme called Agents 2.0.

Notes

  • Each set has an illustrated storyline on the box showing what events occurred to lead up to the set's events.
  • Agent Swipe, Agent Chase From Mission 4, and Agent Charge are the only Agents who have single-sided heads.
  • The theme is very similar in plot to Alpha Team.
  • In the first Shop@Home catalogue featuring Agents, Agent Fuse and Agent Charge are shown with Trace's torso, giving them female features. This was most likely a mistake.
