“The Cosmic Creeper is a mid-sized Insectoids land vehicle. Unlike many other vehicles, the pilot sits in the back. There is one control panel. The Cosmic Creeper moves on a pair of large wheels and a pair of small wheels. It also has four legs.”

Lego Maniacs' Guide
“I would recommend this set to any Space fan. It is a good set to start with for the Insectoid line. This little buggy vehicle is in the shape of a giant ant with only four legs. The color scheme is black, dark grey, blue, and both shades of translucent green. The front of... More the vehicle is the head as you may imagine. It has a magnet on the front to gather energy crystals, but since I left the magnetic decal off of the crystal because I like it better plain, the magnet is just for show.”

About Space Insectoids

Insectoids was a LEGO Space subtheme released in 1998 that consisted of 17 sets. The Insectoids story line was based on the cybernetic Zotaxians and their droids who fled their home planet of Zotax after a war with their leader. During the escape they crash landed on the massive planet Holox, but the planet was too hostile on the surface for survival so they tunneled underground and built cities. The Zotaxians owned vehicles called Insectoids that were insect-like in appearance and were desigend to escape the underground insects.

Insectoids consists of 17 sets that ran from 1998 to 1999. As of today, 6977 Arachnoid Star Base is the most valuable Insectoids set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $444.
