1290 Lava Buggy is a RoboRiders set released in 2000 as a Kabaya promotion. It lives in the Lava District with 8510 Lava. It seems like a miniature version of Lava, because the head is the same, however, it never appeared in the storyline of the Roboriders. It also has been released as a normal set (8003 Volcano Climber) which is identical.
