Help the Ninja escape from the awesome Nindroid MechDragon!
Enter the MechDragon! Sensei Garmadon and Lloyd are trying to escape with the Techno-Blade in Nya’s car, but Sensei Wu, who has turned evil, and the Nindroids are flying the MechDragon in hot pursuit. Drive clear of the MechDragon’s fast-spinning circular saw blades on the huge wings and dodge the missiles fired from the cannon. Evade its mechanical mouth, giant claws and dangerous whipping tail. Evil Wu is at the controls with two other armed Nindroids below ready to jump off into battle. Don’t let them capture the Ninja and imprison him in the hidden cell to power their MechDragon. Speed away in Nya’s car and fire the harpoon and unleash flick missiles from the hidden cannons to repel them. Includes 5 minifigures with weapons: Sensei Garmadon, Lloyd, Evil Wu, General Cryptor and a Nindroid.

Designer's notes[]
Ahhhh About time we had a bad dragon in our Ninjago lineup. The first thing I wanted is to have a brick-built head that would better match a mechanical dragon. Some lessons learned from the Epic Dragon Battle, including having a handle on the back helps with the play. You might notice that the prison pod has a very classic almost space police I feel to it.
The buggy was put together in just over a day. The shooting function takes a bit of practice to master, but when that happens the dragon has a proper challenge on his hands (paws)[2]
Trivia[]
- Of the nine Rebooted sets, this and 70722 OverBorg Attack are the only ones not to include any Techno Blades. This is due to Lloyd not having a Techno Blade.
- This and the OverBorg Attack are the first two sets to feature Lloyd's blond hair piece, as well as his new head piece.
- This is the only set to include Techno Wu and Sensei Garmadon's first variation. It is one of the two Ninjago sets that include Sensei Garmadon, the other being 70750 Ninja DB X.
- This is the second largest Ninjago set produced in the Rebooted wave, the largest being 70728 Battle for Ninjago City.
- This is the first set that has a dragon without a head with a rubber head mold and that has a brick-built head instead.
