Asimo (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) is a humanoid robot made by Honda. It was unveiled in 2000 as the first bipedal robot with a convincingly realistic human gait. LEGO released set 1237 as a promotional set with Honda. The only feature is a few pinned, posable joints.
This rare little set is a source of a few very uncommon white parts.

In 1999 and 2000 the Technic line included a totally new theme called Throwbots in North America and Slizer elsewhere. These were not made from traditional Technic parts, did not have traditional Technic functions, and were not vehicular scale models. Rather, these were anthropomorphic robotic dolls. The common function was a printed disc projectile. Each model featured a hand or claw made of a flexible material which could grip a disc and then, after being bent back, throw the disc. The system didn't work very well at all which may explain why this theme didn't last very long, but the basic idea of such models was continued with Roboriders and eventually Bionicle.

The Roboriders were released in 2000 and overlapped the Slizers. Like the Slizers, they departed from the usual Technic subject matter and parts. In this case, rather than anthropomorphic robots we have robotic motorcycles. Four of them were micro sized models with almost no features at all, six were small sized play sets with a single feature, and the final model was substantially larger. The common feature of the sets used a specialized flexible housing to throw the wheel discs. Sadly, this feature didn't really work at all which helps explain why this series only lasted a single year.

This little green cruising tricycle has only a single apparent function: a steerable front fork. However, as part of the Speed Slammers line it is also made to use with the slammer launcher. It is the only such model to come without a launcher so you need to own one of the other models to use it. Even without the launcher, it is a perfectly good small model in its own right.
The 3 speed slammers released this year are modular and can usually be separated into a front and back section which can then be combined with the other models.

This is one of the smallest Competition sets, but also one of the most unusual. While the set is very simple and the flying vehicle is pretty standard, the scorpions are totally unique. Not only do they come only in this set, nothing anything like them has ever been available before or since. The concept of the set is that the vehicle hunts the scorpions and tries to shoot their tails. If struck, the scorpions flip over. They don't really have a counterattack. This set makes use of stickers to decorate both the vehicle and the scorpions.

I've categorized the "Road Rebel" as a racing car although it is not really recognizable as any such thing. Still, it seems closer to that than any regular car. With a single cylinder engine and yet, oddly, dual exhaust, this is a true enigma. The 1 stud wide seat looks particularly uncomfortable.

This little air boat was released in 1999. Although not quite as small as the 4 tiny micro models, this mini model was still obviously targeted at a young audience. It has only a single belt driven function but also has some curved detail added by using semi-rigid hoses and ribbed hoses.

This aptly named "piston car" was released in 1999 came in multiple packages with different numbers as part of a series of 4 micro models. As 1260 it came in standard Technic packaging in a small box. As 3005 it was available as a polybag only in Japan with Kabaya candy. There is no difference apart from the packaging.
This is a particularly unconvincing model as it does not really look like anything recognizable. However, for all its lack of realism it does sport a truly massive single cylinder engine which, to scale, must have a bore of close to a meter.

This model is very similar to, and could easily be confused with, 2544. However, that other model had front suspension in addition to the rear, and this model adds a fairing. Apart from the color, this model is even more similar to 3054.
In a surprising twist of complexity, the front wheel is spoked while the rear wheel is not.

I've never seen an air powered dune buggy before so I'm not entirely sure what this is supposed to be, but I support the use of blue.
Does this model have the least interesting "function" of any Technic model? Quite possibly. But at least, even at this tiny scale, the designers considered it important that a Technic model have at least some function.

While it is not clear whether this is a motorcycle or a child's tricycle, it does feature simple suspension. Technic models don't get much sipmler than this, so it is an example of a model accessible to virtually any age group.

The 8213 Spy Runner is an an example of the rare transforming Technic models. A simple flip of the spoiler converts this model from a car to something that might be a hovercraft or maybe even a flying car. This single function is simple but special. Other than that, the green color is the only thing making this model unusual. Although the model and seat are scaled for a Technic figure, the model does not come with one.
Of all the models in my vast collection, this is the one that my 8 year old son identified as his favorite and the one he wanted to own himself. Apparently that transforming function has great appeal, and yet there were really never any further models using this theme.

The Sky Flier 1 is a bit of an oxymoron in being one of the larger micro models. This little red plane has a rear spar and horixontal stabilizer made of nothing more than an axle, and a leading edge made from a flexible tube. Unlike the other micro models, it actually has a couple of gears and an real mechanical function.

Although released as two different sets with different numbers, the 2854 and 8202 Bungee Choppers are exactly the same model in a different color. In fact, they are also nearly the same as 2129 and 8205. They were clearly intended to be used as a pair for competition racing and have only a single feature: a bungee cord which stores energy to launch the models.

Along with its very similar brother 2544, the 2544 Technic Motorbike is among the very tiniest Technic sets ever made. Although more colorful, this little model has even fewer features than the other microbike. On the other hand, it does have a sweet fairing.

Along with its very similar brother 3054, the 2544 Technic Motorbike is among the very tiniest Technic sets ever made. With only 27 parts and 10 studs long, this model isn't exactly packed with functions. However, for the size the functional suspension is rather impressive. This was the first of many micro sized Technic sets released over the next couple of years. This particular model was a promotional item together with Shell petroleum company.

This little F1 racer, released in 1997, had an unusual blue and white color scheme with flowing lines created with flexible tubing. Its sole function is front rack and pinion steering. Unlike many other Tech Play sets, it does not have a seat for a Technic figure although one can be made to fit. The stickers in this set feature the familiar Octan racing logo. The model does not have any kind of suspension.

Although released as two different sets with different numbers, the 2129 and 8205 Bungee Blasters are exactly the same model in a different color. They were clearly intended to be used as a pair for competition. They were released in 1997, a year before the official Competition series was launched, but were an obvious prelude to that concept. These were pure playsets with a single function: racing. The availability of a surprisingly durable bungee cord made the concept possible.

This small buggy released in 1996 continued the line of Tech Play vehicles for beginners. Steering and suspension had been present in buggies before, but the new presence of a seat made it possible to put a Technic figure in the buggy, and they fit the scale very nicely if you think of this as a go-kart sized vehicle. This buggy also added a flowing rear arch made from flex system tubing. This use of flex tubing as a decoration would become commonplace even though the flex system itself had been discontinued.
This buggy features rack and pinion steering as well as rear axle swing arm suspension.

The 8225 go kart, released in 1995, is quite an accurate representation of a real go kart. The wheel base is almost square, and the tires are wide and smooth. The center of gravity is low, and a single cylinder engine is rear mounted to a solid drive axle. The steering uses the flexible rack assembly. It includes a sticker sheet and a Technic figure to drive. The driver follows the "safety first" principle and wears a helmet. Using the figure for scale, this is actually a very large go kart, perhaps 10 feet long.
There's nothing groundbreaking in this set, but you get introduced to a lot of features for a small price. Additionally, it was the first and cheapest Tech Play set and a way to get one of the Technic figures. This particular figure is one of the most common, appearing in a total of 6 sets.
One bit of trivia is that, if you look closely, you can see that the driver's feet actually extend through the floor suggesting that this model employs some sort of "Fred Flintstone" braking system.

This little motorcycle, released in 1995, is extremely similar to set 8810 - Alpha Racer released only 4 years earlier. It is so similar, in fact, that I was able to use the same computer images of the internals and merely change the color. Even the set number differs by only a single digit. The primary differences involve the lack of a kickstand on this model, the addition of a windshield, and the presence of stickers.
This set uses a head tube element to support the fork. It also features dual rear shocks supporting a swing arm type suspension.
This is one of only a handful of Technic sets to include an actual transparent windshield. More typically, windshields are "implied" by constructing only the outer frame. This set, like the other new Tech Play sets from 1995, makes considerable use of stickers. In this case, the stickers are printed on transparent stock that resists UV light degradation quite well.

This little F1 racer, released in 1994, foreshadowed a trend of smaller, less intricate Technic models for beginning builders. Its sole function is front rack and pinion steering. It was really out of place in the 8800 series and would have fit better in future years.
This set seems more like a System set than a Technic set, utilizing studs almost exclusively for the build, but it is still a good introduction and an attempt to bridge the gap between the two themes. There is not much to say about it other than that the printed "28" piece on the nose is unique to this set. The logos on the spoiler are stickers.

This 4x4 ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) is the first of its kind in the Technic line. Its steering is unique and was never repeated (for good reason). There is nothing particularly remarkable to mention here; this is just kind of a goofy set. No new parts or techniques are used. The function is so minimal that it's a bit of a stretch to even call it Technic, but it is entry level. The other sets of the same year make up for any deficiencies here.

The 8815 go kart, released in 1991, was extremely similar to the previous set 1972. There were dual tires at each corner for extra width and a roughly square wheelbase. The steering used the flexible rack assembly. One rear wheel drove a single cylinder reciprocating engine. None of the new 1991 parts were used on this model.
There's nothing groundbreaking in this set, but you get introduced to a lot of features for a small price.

Set 8810 was released in 1991 as a model of a small motorcycle. It used the new head tube element to support the fork. It also featured a kickstand and dual rear shocks supporting a swing arm type suspension.
This was one of the smallest sets released so far, but it is a pretty good looking model and a good source of those rare white beams.

This simple set would hold little interest in and of itself, but it compliments the rest of the Arctic Action theme nicely. Arctic rescue is obviously a hazardous profession as is evidenced by the driver's severed arm. Luckily the cold climate froze it immediately so he has it stowed for later re-attachment.

Set 1972 was the only Technic set released in 1985, was only available in the USA, and was only available as a promotional set. Consequently, it is rather difficult to find. This set features rack and pinion steering as it's only technical function, and at the time was the simplest Technic set to date with the possible exception of 1924. Even the engine was just a stack of gray Lego plates mimicking a cooling fins.
