6837: Cosmic Creeper
6837-1: Cosmic Creeper, 1998. Ant-like ground vehicle driven by an Insectoid alien features large compound eyes and magnetic mandibles. The entire front (head) swings up for some reason that I couldn’t fathom.

2965: Hornet Scout
2965-1: Hornet Scout, 1998. Legged ground vehicle and small winged flyer that connect rear-to-rear like a pair of lovebugs mating. Piloted by an Insectoid alien and a droid.
2964: Space Spider
2964-1: Space Spider, 1998. Weird 4-legged ground vehicle driven by an Insectoid alien. The metallic sticker on the crystal was magnetic. There’s another set in this series that made a far better spider…
