Rex is a Power Miners minifigure introduced in 2009. He is the engineer of the Power Miners and he invented most of their machines. He is seen wearing the new, silver, heat-resistant armour in one of the 2010 line-up of sets.
Description[]
2009[]
The first variation of Rex features the standard bright blue Power Miner helmet (Part 30325) as a head accessory. He also has a grumpy expression along with several scars and some stubble facial hair printed on his face, and an alternate scared facial expression on the reverse side. His medium stone grey torso is like most other Power Miners torsos, with the printing on his torso features a black picture of a bomb in the centre, a pair of pliers hanging from a pocket on his right and a magnifying glass hanging from a pocket on his left. His arms are bright yellow (representing a sleeveless top) with his hands being dark stone grey (representing gloves). His legs are the same as all Power Miners, being bright blue with a black hip piece.
Uniquely, in 8963 Rock Wrecker, Rex's helmet has dark stone grey goggles.
2010[]
The heat-resistant armour variants torso and legs are identical to other Power Miners, being a medium stone grey torso and legs with silver armour printed on them. The helmet is the same as the 2009 version (Part 30325), but is coloured in silver. The helmet also bears the accessory of a visor which looked very similar to the visor introduced in the Ice Planet 2002 theme, but with the exception of no antenna and being silver coloured.
Background[]
Rex was hired as the Engineer for the Power Miners team to investigate the severe Earthquakes happening above ground. He worked at a geothermal power plant near the center of the earth and designed and drove the majority of the vehicles in the theme. According to a short biography, he has a constant rivalry with Firox, who enjoys destroying his creations. He also gave Brains his nickname when they first met.

Notes[]
- Due to sharing Rex's uniform and occupation, along with having scars on his face, the Engineer is frequently mistaken for a variant of Rex by fans. However, Shop At Home consistently distinguishes the two minifigures in its Summer 2009 catalog.[1]
