Teleport Pad
The Teleport Pad is a fictional building in the LEGO Rock Raiders theme.
A physical model of it was released in the LEGO construction set The Rock Raiders HQ (item #4990) in 1999, where it is used to park a small hovercraft. In the LEGO Rock Raiders video game, it is used to transport minifigures and vehicles to the planet from the LMS Explorer. In the game's PlayStation version, it is used to transport the player back to the Explorer at the end of most missions.
Game information
LEGO Rock Raiders (Windows)
In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Teleport Pad is considered an advanced building.[1] It costs 8 pieces of Ore (or 2 Building Studs) to construct one Teleport Pad.[2] Its layout consists of two blocks in a 1×2 configuration, with one solid block for the building base and one entrance block below that.[3] It takes one Energy Crystal to power it.[4]
The Teleport Pad can be upgraded twice.[4] As with all buildings, each upgrade costs 5 pieces of Ore (or 1 Building Stud).[5]
- Level 1: Upgrading it to Level 1 allows the Docks and Power Station to be constructed.[2]
- Level 2: Upgrading it to Level 2 is one of the upgrades required for transporting the Small Mobile Laser Cutter and Tunnel Scout, along with a Level 1 Support Station.[6][7]
