Description
The Ultra Sonic Raider is a large white tank (which can convert to an aircraft), and is piloted by 2 ninjas in both tank mode and aircraft mode. The tank has two treads in the front and a double wheel in the back. In each tread is a large, gold flick-fire missile (in the movie, these were grapple claws). Also, one row of golden sai daggers comes from each side of the front of the tank. The Four Golden Weapons can be attached to the front, next to the bottom cockpit. At the back, there is a small cage in the vehicle, possibly to put captured snakes in. In the middle, there are two attachable flames to place in the center of two chrome black Spinjitzu crown pieces that can be used for the game. Two adjustable speaker cannons are on the sides of the removable flying part. On each side are 3 golden blades (also found in 9442 Jay's Storm Fighter) that can be taken out. The main feature of the model is that the top half (from top cockpit to in front of the back wheel) can detach and represent the vehicle's "flight mode."
Background
When The Great Devourer is awakened, the ninja rush to Ed 'N Edna's Junkyard, where they find plans for a vehicle of massive size. Kai explains to the other ninja's what it is, and they use the "Tornado of Creation" to make the Ultra Sonic Raider from junk. Zane's memory banks contained Sensei Wu playing the sacred flute, so he had the sound installed in the vehicle. The Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu together created the massive tank. It later got destroyed by the Great Devourer. The Ultra Sonic Raider was later used by the ninja to get to Ninjago City to catch up to The Great Devourer.
Notes
- Pythor P. Chumsworth is exclusive to this set.
- In the show, Pythor wasn't around when the Ultra Sonic Raider was built and used, despite him being included in the set. (He was eaten by The Great Devourer.)
- This set is the first set to have Zane, Kai, Jay and Cole all in one set.
- This is the only set to include Spitta, excluding his spinner.
- This set has two modes, the normal vehicle mode seen in the image and an aircraft mode.
- The Ultra Sonic Raider was destroyed before the aircraft mode was ever shown in the show. Yet was rebuilt when the ninja came into Ninjago city.
- This set includes the Fangpyre Fang Blade.
- As seen in a video on YouTube, the set includes Lasha without his headgear instead of Spitta.
- In the same YouTube video it is shown that the set originally came with NRG Cole, NRG Kai, NRG Zane, and NRG Jay instead of their ZX versions.
- This set comes with an orange brick separator.
- This is the third set to inlcude all four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. (Jay and Zane are seen holding their respective weapons while the Sword of Fire and Scythe of Quakes are attached to the vehicle, as seen in the NY toy fair.)
- In the show, all four ninjas fit inside, but in the set only two minifigures are able to fit in the vehicle.
- This is the first set to have the tracks coloured brown.
- This set is the ninjas' vehicle in the season 2 finale.
- this set has a lot of gold little strikers

In the amazing Ultra Sonic Raider, the Spinjitzu masters spot supreme leader Pythor and his protector Spitta, soldier of the Venomari tribe, taking off with the Fangpyre fang blade. Chase them across everything with the all-terrain tracks or detach the flying vehicle, extend the golden blade wings and take the battle to the skies! If all else fails, crank up the huge speaker cannons and tame the snakes with some ancient snake music. Don't let them get away! Includes 6 minifigures: Cole ZX, Jay ZX, Kai ZX, Zane ZX, Pythor and Spitta. Set includes Ultra Sonic Raider, Fangpyre fang blade with red anti-venom capsule, 4 golden weapons and 5 regular weapons.
