Awesome set
Posted: November 23, 2008
"This set is extremely cool and durable. I just moved recently and i had to pack it in a box. I got nervous because i thought it was going to break. But it didnt! They cool thing about the set is you can take the cockpits off and make them into different ships! over all great set i would really recommend this product"

"I think this is an excellent set. At the front are two little astro fighter things that come off. At the top there is a satellite. It even has a little mining unit. It also has an elevator for the mining unit to go on to get onto the aircraft, to the ground, but the ship is kinda pricey, but I think it's worth it."

"Before the pros cons list, I will first compare it to the the Armoured Drilling Unit. This was way bigger than the Armoured drilling unit, the permiter, at least, but its easier to build than ADU. It doesn't consist many technic bricks like the ADU, but still quite a few. The hardest part to build was to push those red pegs to lock the bricks up. But other than that, its about it. One more note this thing will make even the mothership scream ''mommy!''.
Pros:
Very impressive size
Awesome features (The lowering platform especially, its awesome!)
Loads of guns
Detailed
Cons:
3 (2 on the ship, 1 on the driller) astros to pilot this big mother of an assault ship?
This ship is a bit heavy if you hold the ship using the handle.
VERY fragile satellite
HORRIBLY designed interior!
But overall its quite good. I added one astronaut from the 5616 and another one from 7646 to look after the lab.

"I acquired this set a few days ago and have enjoyed it ever since. It is composed of quite a few techic pieces, but the construction is still easy and everything stays together well. This set has quite a few features: a small lab in the central section, a small driller, a satellite, and two detachable flyers; this ship is the most powerful in the astronaut fleet. With all of its equipment it could function as a mobile command center that could start the beginnings of a new astronaut base in even the most hostile conditions. I might also point out that it includes the mission commander minifigure and a new astronaut face. The alien ship is somewhat outgunned against such a heavily armed ship, but still adds some playability to the set. The only thing I would change would be to add an extra astro minifigure or two. For all of the features and pieces, this set is definitely a good buy."

explanation
Posted: September 8, 2008
"The MX-81 Hypersonic Operations Spacecraft is a fast-moving, alien-scouting, mobile destroyer ship that can split into 5 vehicles such as a mini rover, 2 scout ships, a giant jet, and a satellite up link probe. A fine product from LEGO industries and company. The Recon Dropship is seconded to the new mobile base like the MX-81 Hypersonic Operations Spacecraft."

Hypersonic Operations Aircraft to the Rescue!
Posted: August 3, 2008
"A very long name, but a lot to it. This set has it all. Five detachable ships and cockpits, push a knob on the top to drop a loading bay for the mini drilling unit, HUGE veichle, tons of cannons, missile launchers, lasers, and guns, comes with an Alien Strike ship, AKA 'The Needler'. Driller has a spinning drill when pushed forward, two astronauts, and Alien Commander minifigures! This set has TONS of equipment and semi rare pieces. You know how all the Mars Mission veichles have a special type of animal? Well this Aircraft is the animal of a bat! A great and amazing set if you ask me! I would defineatly get this set. It may be expensive, but truly amazing!"

amazing set!
Posted: July 15, 2008
"This has to be one of the best Mars Mission sets EVER! You can tell that LEGO took a lot of time in this set.
Pros:
Big set with a lot of minifigs.
New alien commander.
Part of the ship deploys a platform to release crystal miner.
Cockpits and cockpit wings break apart to form a smaller ship.
TONS of shooters on the ship.
Cons:
Top of the ship and satellite is a bit fragile.
Alien commander is hard to get in and out of ship.
Slightly hard to deploy platform.
Over all this is a great set. I'd recommend it to any one who likes LEGO and/or Mars Mission
10/10

"This set is the Astronaut's mother ship. The cool thing about this set is the two cockpits and the size. This set is the next generation of Mars Mission sets. The little drilling vehicle is cool too."

Human Mothership
Posted: July 8, 2008
"This is a human mothership! it has huge wings, lots of lasers, a total of six ships to be built, and a unique landing gear
it is one of the few pricey sets to be possibly worth more than it is currently
so get it!
pros
lasers
alien ship
5 seperate ships
handles everywhere for play
firing rocket
cons
only three astros

I would recommand this to a friend.
Posted: July 6, 2008
"This Hypersonic Aircraft is a very good lego that can separate into 5 ships. It is a lab also. This is an ultimate ship that can hold off any alien attacks anywhere! THe price is very resonable because of its size. The five reasons that this MX-81 Hypersonic Operations Aircraft is so good is;
1. The price is very reasonable.
2. It has pieces that you can't find anywhere.
3. With the pieces of the Aircraft, you can build an army of your own.
4. It can be one of the collections of your own.
5. You will like it very much if your a Marsmission fan.
I would very recommand this lego to a friend.

"Ok, lets make this clear. This is just the coolest and best LEGO Mars Mission set at all time! I mean, look at it! i bought it with the Alien Infiltrater, and they just looks cool together. Actually, i did not see the alien spaceship that followed with this cool set, so i just got more happy. I can totally say that you should buy it."

Great set!
Posted: June 20, 2008
"This ship is pretty impressive. The quality of design reminds me of the original space sets, where the series usually revolved around one big ship. The design is very creative. I would have to say that the only downside to this set is the rather steep price. In spite of this, I would still recommend this set to friends. I was very excited to get my hands on it."

AN EXCELLENT AIRCRAFT
Posted: June 7, 2008
"MX-81 HYPERONIC OPERATIONS AIRCRAFT (7644) is one of the best lego products I have ever seen.
I think it is a bit expensive, but it has several advantages:
1) The set contains many really useful bricks, so if you want you can use them to build your own models.
2) With this product you can make very good videos.
3) The set contains three astros , a cool drone and their ships.
It is a really cool lego set.
Thanks for reading,
I hope my review was helpful to you.

Hot Set
Posted: May 21, 2008
"I picked this set up the other day because my eye caught the design. This is definitely a must-have set for any hardcore space type of collector. The design is reminiscent of the old Deep Freeze Defender, with some upgrades including an antagonist in the alien craft. But you can definitely see many elements from that set, including the rocket probe, the twin fighters on the side and the rear vehicle. The elevating architecture is an interesting touch where the moving parts adds playability (although I don't see a practical purpose). A truly epic set, I think combining this with the MT-101 Armored Drill could produce some awe inspiring creations. Go get it now!"
