8080 Undersea Explorer is a limited edition Atlantis set, released in late May 2010. It comes with a red Atlantis Key (the Shark Key), the Sea Serpent, and a Bobby Buoy minifigure.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Undersea Explorer has two arms and a missile launcher on one of them. On the other arm there is a grabbing hand which can pick up keys. It has six wheels and an assortment of lights. Two flick missiles are mounted on the top, along with lime green propellers. It can transform from a six wheeled, surface rolling tank-like machine into a massive walker that has two rocket-powered torpedoes. It also includes a black and yellow sea serpent.

- The Undersea Explorer was designed by LEGO Employee Mark Stafford. The set originated as a Power Miners concept, but was eventually adopted as an Atlantis set.
