Bug Obliterator Reviews
Brickset
“This set is just amazing. A huge tank and jet like vehicle that can split into 2, and a mosquito/scorpion mixture of an enemy vehicle. The enemy's vehicle comes with a mosquitoid, with clear green wings, head with rubber eyes, and 2 antennae. It also comes with one cocoon,... More which fits behind where the mosquitoid sits. It also has a bendable tail, legs that can move up and down (although not stable), and pincers that can hold a minifigure.”
