[MOC] Galaxy Squad Assassin Bug

Recommended Posts

The Assassin Bug (a.k.a. Wheel Bug) most commonly have an elongated head with a distinct narrowed neck, long legs, and a prominent, segmented tube (rostrum) for feeding and defending itself. These predators use the long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva contains enzymes that predigest the tissues they swallow. This process is generally referred to as extra-oral digestion. The saliva is commonly effective at killing prey substantially larger than the bug itself.

This is a nasty bug! And the perfect model for another Lego Galaxy Squad Alien Bugoid creation! A powerful Bug that strikes absolute fear into any Galaxy Squad Team member especially if caught alone out on the battle field. The Assassin Bug can make a quick meal out of any unsuspecting human, or store it in its purplue coccoon for later consumption or to bring back to the hive. Good luck humans...they will need it!

Very nice :thumbup:

The cockpit idea is great.

Maybe a more flexible rostrum would be better, this one seems a bit stiff to stab those galaxy squad members.

I'm not sure what to call this but it looks awesome and I love the base concept of it! :thumbup:

Thanks for resurrecting this old thread! And thanks for the nice compliments. Glad you guys liked the design. I really wish Galaxy Squad would have lasted at least another wave or two.
