~ 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 {6289
  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 a 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.
