The set includes two opposing models: a turquoise flying craft with two extensible scissor-mechanism cannons and a purple motorized spider that wobbles and weaves using a vertically mounted 9V motor. Both models have a spring-loaded ejection seat that launches the pilot when the target is hit, making it one of the more action-focused Technic Competition releases of the period. It was also known as Blue Flash Versus The Arachnophob and was released in the same year under set numbers 8266 and 3038 with the same contents.

A new and sealed Spyder Slayer is currently valued at around $117, with annual growth of 6.2% that is expected to level off to around 1.8% in the coming year. The average used price is $48 for those in good overall condition. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $118 within the next year. The 2 included figures account for approximately 34% of the set's total value.

“The two models are completely different and include a flying piloted turquoise hunter and a purple arachnid quarry. The flying machine sports a pair of extensible scissors mechanisms with competition cannon tips. The spider, meanwhile, is not an easy target. In wobbles and... More weaves in an attempt to escape. It has no defensive weaponry, so the only options are defeat or escape. If the target is successfully struck, a spring mechanism ejects the cybernetic pilot.”
