8956 Stone Chopper

8956 Stone Chopper was released in January 2009 as part of the LEGO Power Miners line (it was numbered 1st of the sets in the series). It includes a Miner and a Meltrox rock monster Minifigures. The vehicle failed to play a significant role in the story line for the Power Miners theme. After the first couple months, the vehicle nearly disappeared from the story line altogether.
==Description==
The Stone Chopper is a small bike-shaped vehicle. Its back wheel is a normal tire, while its front wheel is made up of a two blades ("choppers") with a disc-shaped piece in between them. The driver stands at an angle between the two wheels, and holds onto a handle used to drive the vehicle. There is a small crystal on the side of the Chopper to act as a power source. However, on some set images, it is on the right side of the vehicle, while in the instructions, it is situated on the left.
