Maybe not power miners but something similar.
Basically, Power Miners is a reboot of an older series called “Rock Riders”.
So, Lego would come back to this idea at some point sometime. They always reboot older ideas for a new public.

Naah… I would enjoy it more if the would bring back the old “Rock Riders” but Power MIners was also very cool. ^^
only if more drills
I would love to see more of a literal underground civilization thing. That would be cool.

oh i din´t know Power Miners was a reboot to Rock Raiders, hell i thought you couldn´t get Rock Raider sets, then again they are pretty similar so i could´ve guessed it
I’d like to see them try the idea again, I think the issue was they focused too much on making weird sets later on.
We started with this sort of thing;

Which I ended up buying a lot of due to its Thunderbirds Mole inspired design. Then later we got more water and catching based sets rather than mining themed.
To make the line work they need sets and vehicles that actually look like realistic mining equipment with a slightly futuristic vibe and Rock Monsters that could actually be a threat - throw in some transparent pieces to the monsters and vary them with a collectable nature and the line would be popular.

That set looks way smaller than I remember it being.
There is a really long version of it made as a mobile base

i have to agree with you there they should try to keep it mining themed and throw in some transparent peaces for the monsters i´d like to see new peaces being made for the monsters that would allow us to make custom ones, but they should also give us them in a lot of different colors, but maybe they could add some sort if liquid as the miners would have to get for their vehicles for them to run.
i´d like to see some sort of a bad guy human faction who would have their won vehicles and use the crystals for something bad.
and i´d like to see more valuable items then just the crystals such as: iron, gold, copper, any kind of underground material. and having small sets that is just like battlepacks were you get 4 minifigs with some extra tools.
overall i want to be able to emulate a similar concept to the pc version of the rock raiders game with the theme so like: the miners need to gather crystals for researching so they can develop new weapons and buildings and upgrade their economy, oil to keep vehicles, buildings and turrets running(cause they´er gonna need turrets to protect themselves against attacking rock monsters and other hostiles down in the mines), gather iron to upgrade weapons and tools, gold for credit to build up their economy and defenses and all that.
as long as LEGO brings us sets with enough stuff to do just that i think it´s going to be awesome:)
may be a lot to ask for but hey, we can always use our creativity to make that happen our selves

Seeing as power miners was a reboot of rock raiders, and they came out 9 years apart, I wouldn’t expect another underground theme for a couple years.
When it does, however, I don’t really know what I’d like to see. Power miners pretty much capitalized and built upon what I liked with rock raiders. It really had it all when it comes to that theme.
I would love to see Lego make something similar to Power Miners. I loved that theme.
I just want more sets with giant drills.
Maybe some sets with giant drills that aren’t bright green.
Juuuuuust sayin’.
But seriously, that was my only issue with Power Miners. Otherwise, a fantastic theme.

I really liked it when I was young,
don’t really care if they bring it back or not now.
Though I think the main thing that drew me to the sets were the variation in crystals and rock monsters.
I especially liked the lava monster designs
Just don’t bring them back looking like this v v v

YES! I lived power miners even more than bionicle when I was younger!
yeah i also want rock monsters in different colors and different elements
The should go with the Rock Raiders style;
Or just give us Slimy Slugs;
i think they should come in different sizes too

What if TLG does something similar to “Ultra Agents”, where we have a character from a past line, leading a new crew into the abandoned mines of The “Power Miners” as wave one and maybe even The “Rock Raiders” in wave two. My personal lead for the New line would be “Atlantis’” Lance Spears, with him bringing the “Atlantis” color scheme of red and trans. apple-jack green to the new vehicles. The villains could be the classic rock monsters, but in a more raggedy, chipped, and destroyed form. This is due to their time fighting the “Power Miners’” machinery. The only issue would be the name, which would either be the exact same as one of its predecessors or have two words which basically comes down to the word miner. Will any of this happen, probably not, but that would be my perfect reboot/continuation.
