Galaxy Squad is a Space theme that was to be introduced in 2013. However, several of the sets were released prematurely in Canada and the United States of America in November 2012.

Description
The theme features a group of humans and their robotic sidekicks defending Earth from an impending invasion by seemingly malignant alien "bugs", which resemble anthropomorphic insects.
Story
The story behind the alien insects invasion or how our heroic Galaxy Squad was formed is currently unknown, but more information is likely to be released soon.
Galaxy Squad
The humans and robots are split into different "teams" or "squads", distinguished by the designated colour of their minifigure printings and vehicles, as well as an unique insignia. These teams are as followed: Blue team, Red team, Green team, and Orange team. Each team consists of one robotic sidekick and one human (or, in the case of Orange team, two humans). Their vehicles are mainly white, with certain detailing sharing the respective team's colour.
Alien Insects
The aliens consist of Alien Mosquitoids and Alien Buggoids (the latter of which has a green as well as red variant). They pilot vehicles that resemble various insects. These vehicles are primarily lime-green and crimson red, with transparent-red cockpits.
Squadron Advantages
Each squadron has a different strength:
Green Team: Green Team's primary skill is defense.
Red Team: Red Team's main trade is speed.
Orange Team: Orange Team's interesting ideal is firepower.
Blue Team: Blue Team's momentous art is strategy.
