Lego Maniacs' Guide
“The Sonic Stinger is a bug and a mean looking one at that. After building it and looking at it for a bit I figured that the Sonic Stinger is either a Hornet or a Bee. The front of this bug is the eyes, which are transparent yellow spheres that look really cool. Between the... More eyes are to antennas. Behind the eyes is where the Insectiod figure can sit. Then behind there is a blaster and two very big wings which have pre-printed stuff on it and are transparent blue in color.”

“The LEGO Sonic Stinger (6979/6999) from the 1998 Insectoids line offers a fun build with 96 pieces, including a unique female pilot figure. Its standout features are a light and sound brick that mimics insect-like noises and a large wasp-inspired design with wings, a stinger, and jet engines.”
 

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 $429.
