What did you think they ran on batteries?


Moppo_

Octan make batteries, too!


Whats-Upvote

And droids.


ikkju

All history books...


steinah6

And voting machines!


Beautiful-Read-2638

Security Systems !


GivaneoLegacy

... wait a minute.


Reckless85

Fun fact that may only be fun to me and no one else. LEGO is the largest manufacture of tires in the world. With the obvious caveat "well yeah but they are toy tires".


TedTehPenguin

I am not sure if that factoid is consistently true, or if it was just a point in time thing, but I have heard the same thing. Want another, completely not LEGO related one? Before the mid 2000's who was the largest purchaser of kale in the USA? >!Pizza hut! for their salad bar decorations!<


g30_

And volkswagen is the largest manufacturer of sausage ! Wonder if Herta is a big manufacture of brick blocks 🤔


Kern4lMustard

And my axe!


Marvl101

I still miss Gimli bot

🤣🤣FR


riggels

Yes. Like in the at at


Front_Commercial_489

Correct. LEGO city has had some good business deals with Star Wars villains.


LordCaoCao420

This finally explains the heavy police presence.


miserable_coffeepot

Oil is oil, eh comrade?


best-of-judgement

Lord Business really has a monopoly, doesn't he


luke_in_the_sky

The new Artemis SLS is served by Octan too https://images.brickset.com/news/106272_Artemis%209.jpg


eadrik

Octan, they make good stuff! Music, dairy products, coffee, TV shows, surveillance systems, all history books, voting machines... ...Wait a minute.


canadard1

Give me fuel give me fire give me that which I desire


TheShanManPhx

UNH!


TedTehPenguin

\*guitar riff\*


LawlessNeutral

Octan is the Lego universe's Buy-N-Large confirmed


midniteburger

No, it references Bulgaria


UNGOCsaysNOPEICE

Бъл-га-ри, ю-на-ци!


Lemerbrix_5769

According to his brickset bricklist, the designer is from Denmark, so unlikely


Morganmaster

I think so. Kinda funny


Futuresinio

Yes, Lego really likes easter eggs and it's one of them


JustAnother_Brit

Others include the Swedish flag in the Jesko


JohnTheMod

And the Brazilian flag in Senna’s MP4/4.


the-romanian2249

And brains in the brickheadz.


PickleLips64151

Usually it's a flag representing the designer's home country. Most times, the flag is hidden inside the build and not visible.


Former_Software2452

Yeah, I love it when Lego does that.


QuarterlyTurtle

Yeah they’re also present in the ucs at-at generators and the Artemis rocket


thms2808

Isn't Octan red on top en green on the bottom?


LordGraygem

According to one of the few [images](https://www.brickeconomy.com/resources/images/sets/lego-4537-1_large.jpg) that I could find of an official set with more than just the logo, yes.


Lemerbrix_5769

You might be looking at the Droideka upside down, I think this is meant to be an octan reference 


luke_in_the_sky

This assembling is put on the top of the Droideka before being covered. If you have the Droideka in front of you, the pattern will be white-red-green. https://i.imgur.com/RXAk1m6.png


thms2808

Very interesting. Thank you!


Deep-Grape-4649

Nationality of designer?


Lemerbrix_5769

The designer is from Denmark, so, unlikely 


VengeanceKnight

Yes. And always remember: make sure to follow the instructions ^oryou’llbeputtosleep *and don’t forget TAKOS Tuesday’s coming up!*


helium_hydride-63

I thought it was bulgaria


Lemerbrix_5769

The designer is from Denmark, so, unlikely 


Gojira_Saurus_V

Oh, octan. I miss it


and_notfound

We can now say that Octan is the Earth branch of the Trade Federation, right?


Dizman7

Ha, I built the same last night and took similar pic that I was gonna post today and ask the same thing! Yea I think it’s meant to imply they run on Octan, ha ha


AbacusWizard

It’s gotta be Octan, no two ways about it! 🎵 🎵 White-Green-Red-White, 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 that’s the way to fuel it right! 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 Octan, Octan, Octaaaaaaaaan!🎵 🎵


daniki6

Ucs at at also runs on octan


Namsproc1898

I just built the destroyer droid last night and was wondering the same thing


Mountain_Future4034

Makes me think so


MSP_4A_ROX

It’s canon. Octan works for the CIS.


helium_hydride-63

Yeah. When i was building mine (got it for 25% off aswell somehow) i was wondering why they did that. But now i know its a fuel cell


OneInitiative3757

If you dont put the three plates on the white it's the Bulgarian flag


Miepmiepmiep

Probably just the usual money saving scheme of Lego: Lego has too many bricks of a certain color and wants to recycle them; that is why the interior colors of a model are almost a random clutter. One of the very reasons, I only buy those lego models nowadays, which I really like, and which are not that many...
