6977: Arachnoid Starbase

6977-1: Arachnoid Starbase, 1998. A giant spider-shaped vehicle / base – this thing is awesome and hands down the best Insectoids set. Includes a small flyer, a scooter, a small base, two droids, two aliens, and four magnetic crystals. The two rear legs serve as magnetic cranes.

6919: Planetary Prowler

6919-1: Planetary Prowler, 1998. Large grasshopper-shaped ground vehicle has shock absorbers (and wheels!) on the rear jumping legs. The main ship is driven by an alien, but there’s a small flyer piloted by a droid. A cargo payload contains a crystal with a magnetic sticker.

Sonic Stinger lights

The new integrated electric system in Sonic Stinger features flashing lights and 3 space sounds and runs on 2 AA batteries. It was only used in 3 Insectoids sets. (In contrast, the 9V system it replaced appeared in 22 sets over a 12-year span.)

6905: Bi-Wing Blaster

6905-1: Bi-Wing Blaster, 1998. Small winged flyer, piloted by a droid, that docks onto the back of a larger winged flyer piloted by an Insectoid alien. Each ship has a crystal with a magnetic sticker and a rear-mounted magnet to carry it.

6903: Bug Blaster

6903-1: Bug Blaster, 1998. This small flying wedge doesn’t have anything very-insecty about it apart from the single forward-facing compound eye thingy. Includes an alien carrying a crystal with a magnetic sticker (but no magnet).

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.

6817-1: Beta Buzzer, 1998. Small winged flyer piloted by an Insectoid alien.
