70700 Space Swarmer is a Galaxy Squad set released in late 2012 in Canada and the US, and 2013 in other nations. It contains 86 pieces and one minifigure: the blue Robot Sidekick.

Description[]

The set is mainly focused on the "Space Swarmer" taking on a Blue Team Galaxy Squad robot, who is armed with a large blaster, using a camera piece with two red studs on one side, two connector pegs with nobs on both sides of the gun, which support 2-stud long TECHNIC beam, as the end of the gun. The robot also has a jet-pack, made with two space guns, which originated in Alien Conquest. The back of the jet-pack is where an antenna is positioned.

The Space Swarmer resembles a small bug and is made of predominately dark red on the inside of the ship, and lime green on the outside. On both sides of the swarmer is a transparent green wing piece, with an alien sonic gun just behind it on the left of the ship. There are four legs at the bottom of the ship to hold it up, with claw like feet. The cockpit supports room for one minifigure, the Alien Buggoid, with a control panel, which is printed with a silhouette of 70701 Swarm Interceptor, a print which is common for most of the alien vehicles to have. The cockpit screen is a dark red transparent piece, which is also very common in the theme, and is able to be opened up. The front of the Space Swarmer is a grabber mouth, with three robot arms as mandibles to hold a victim in. A 2x2 round tile is printed with a mouth, to decorate the set.

The Space Swarmer model contains 67 pieces. The rest of the set contains 19 pieces.

Background[]

The Space Swarmers were vehicles that were utilized by the alien bugs during the War for the Planet Selva Galaxy. They participated in many battles, but they were eventually destroyed or forced to retreat.
