Min-Droid (alternatively spelled Mindroid) was a member of the Nindroid Army designed by P.I.X.A.L.. He was indirectly created shorter than the other Nindroids as a result of not enough metal, leading General Cryptor to give him the nickname "Min-Droid."
Min-Droid was short-tempered and highly sensitive about his size, which contributes to his vicious disposition in battle. Despite being shorter than the average Nindroid, his combat skills were still a force to be reckoned with.
History[]
The Art of the Silent Fist[]
Min-Droid was first deployed to guard the Storm Farms. While being briefed about the situation with the other Nindroids, General Cryptor noticed Min-Droid's small size and joked about it with the other Nindroids. He also appeared when he was fighting the ninja's who were trying to shut down the Power Station.
Blackout[]
Min-Droid was one of the many Nindroids taken to Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk after the Power Station's destruction and later revived by Techno Wu.
Codename: Arcturus[]
Min-Droid makes his comeback during the battle of the Nindroid Convoy and was the last Nindroid remaining after his two companions' heads were cut off. Min-Droid then remained to fight Kai, getting sparked during battle.
The Void[]
Min-Droid was in the rocket ship along with half of Nindroids and Cryptor as he helps them use one of the control panels in order to reach the comet to get the Golden Weapons. But when he and the rest of the Nindroids discovered that the ninjas were on the ship all this time, Cryptor ordered him and some of Nindroids to get rid of them. As he used a laser rifle, he was hit, but he managed to catch the rope to try and stay on the ship but fell and got burned by the jet of the ship. When they got the Golden Weapons, he used one of the space vehicles with Cryptor to quickly drive back to the ship but when the canyon was too large to jump, Cryptor told him to go but Min-Droid looked at him feeling fearful and shakes his head, refusing to. Then he got kicked off by Cryptor as he takes the wheel and drives fast as they jumped their space vehicle to the other side of the canyon. Then Min-Droid tried to get back to his seat but he was kicked off by Kai as he tried to get the key from Cryptor. And when the ship was destroyed by the astro parasites, the rest of the Nindroids along with Min-Droid decided to take the golden weapons and used their jets to fly back to earth leaving the ninja behind.
The Titanium Ninja[]
Min-Droid was one of the Nindroids to be present during the Overlord's transformation into the Golden Master.
Min-Droid was seen carrying junk when he noticed General Cryptor insulting him behind his back to Nya. Angered, he punched Cryptor, and a small fight ensued. He and his General were frozen once Zane defeated the Golden Master, and they both froze, shattering into pieces.
LEGO.com description[]
“Min-Droid” is a nickname given by General Cryptor to a small version of a Nindroid.
Cryptor jokes that the manufacturing process must have run short of metal, which would explain Min-Droid’s size.
Min-Droid is different from standard Nindroids in ways besides his height – for example, he is very sensitive about his appearance and quick to anger when insulted.
Although miniature, Min-Droid is still dangerous.
The ninja would be smart not to underestimate this robot.[1]
Relationships[]
Cryptor[]
Since his creation, Min-Droid has had a fairly tumultuous relationship with Cryptor, his immediate superior. Upon meeting Min-Droid for the first time, Cryptor paused to note Min-Droid's smaller stature and derisively commented that the latter must have been the "Last one off the production line," before nicknaming him "Min-Droid" alongside a dismissive pat on the head. Nevertheless, Min-Droid continued to serve under Cryptor without question up until the final battle for Ninjago City, where Min-Droid would overhear his superior talking down about him behind his back. This would prove to be the final straw for Min-Droid, who immediately ceased his current activities to punch Cryptor, leading to a fight between the two.

- The only reason he is short is that Borg Industries ran out of metal.

- Despite Min-Droid's apparent lack of voice, he said "Quit?" in "The Art of the Silent Fist" when Cole said that Min-Droid never knew when to quit.
- He also said in the same episode "Uh oh" when he got himself into the power source but in a different tone.
- In LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids, Min-Droid had the power to drain power from the Power Station, allowing him to create a shield and to shoot a powerful energy beam.
