The SpiderWalker is built entirely of LEGO® elements. Four hinged rods and one straight rod comprise each leg. |
|
The hinged rods come from multiple copies of 2152 Robo Raptor and 6829 Radon Rover. The leg tips are classic space antennae. |
|
The body of the spider consists of ten corner-connecting hinge-plate pairs. These alternate above and below the leg connector hinges and hold the body together in a circle. |
|
The belly of the walker supports a minifig. |
|
The minifig is held in place by a harness which descends from the belly of the walker. The harness comes from an old classic Space set. |
|
Two control sticks govern the direction and speed of the walker. The walker can move forward, backward, sideways, and pivot in place. |
|
The pilot's legs tuck away neatly into the walker's abdominal cavity. This is view from directly underneath. |
|
Eight legs provide a considerable amount of flexibility. An experienced SpiderWalker pilot can open hatches on Metroliner Club Cars while using the hind legs for support. |
|
Using four legs for balance, the SpiderWalker deftly reaches down into the Club Car. |
|
Those victims which are not immobilized by fear are immobilized by a nearly instant nerve injection. |
|
The SpiderWalker then easily removes the victims... |
|
...for cocooning and later to feast on the delicious entrails. |
