The Robot is on the blue squad and has some nice printing on both sides of the torso. The headpiece is shaped very well for a robot. It has a brick-built blaster with scope as well as a jet pack for accessories.

The main part of the set is the Space Swarmer. It looks similar to a large beetle. The majority colors of the Swarmer is bright green and red. The cockpit opens up to sit the Alien Beetle inside. The wings are able to flap much like a beetle’s. The main function is that it has a grabbing action to capture the Robot.
