Here comes the Green Team's ultimate weapons platform, the Bug Zapper. This vehicle can unleash a load of firepower on the Alien Insectoids from the air or ground with the ability to switch being jet flyer and ground assault modes. Once in ground assault mode with the wings folded in and the fuselage retracted, the 6 main engines serve a dual purpose and give the Bug Zapper limited ground mobility. An extra feature of ground assault mode is the ability for the Green Team Speeder Bike to connect using a landing post mounted high on the rear portion of the fuselage essentially turning the Bug Zapper into a battle tank with 360 degrees of protection.
This creation was derived using the retired Mars Mission set 7647 MX-41 Switch Fighter as a starting point. I really like this set since it has a converting function which fits in well with all the Galaxy Squad Team vehicles. I added lots of Galaxy Squad styling elements, got rid of all the Mars Mission orange bricks and added just the right amount of dark and bright green bricks to make my creation fit right in with the other Green Team vehicles. Hope you like it!

Neat. I'd hate to be the tail gunner when that thing's flying, though. A bird strike would be quite a headache!

That's why the Green Speeder Bike (which becomes the turrent/tail gunner) is only permitted to dock there when the Bug Zapper is in ground assault mode.

I'd pay premium bucks for that set if you could find it in stores. If ever you want to let go of it, let me know
