70701 Swarm Interceptor is a Galaxy Squad set released in late 2012. It contains 218 pieces and two minifigures: Solomon Blaze and an Alien Mosquitoid.
Description[]
- Mosquitoid Speeder
The speeder is built from only a few pieces, and has just enough room for the Alien Mosquitoid to stand and fly it. Interesting construction techniques include a piece commonly seen as a jackhammer as the steering mechanism. Two black lightsaber hilts are used at the front of the speeder as its only weapons. The main colours used in the small speeder are black, lime green and dark red, prominent colours in the theme for the Buggoids and Mosquitoids.
The Mosquitoid Speeder contains 18 pieces.
- Swarm Interceptor
The Swarm Interceptor itself is the main feature of the set and is mainly built with black, white and blue pieces. The cockpit can separate from the main body to make a small escape pod. This escape pod has small wings that can fold out and in. The two sections are connected with a technic axle that allows the cockpit to turn 360 degrees, allowing the pilot to stay upright when the ship turns to one side or upside-down.
The wings of the main section fold down to become a stand for the starfighter. The Interceptor's cockpit canopy opens forwards, allowing room for Solomon Blaze to sit at the controls. Also, a section of the vehicle's back flips open to reveal two flick-fire missiles.
The front end of the Swarm Interceptor contains 56 pieces (58 pieces with the blasters attached).
The rear end of the Swarm Interceptor contains 128 pieces.
The complete Swarm Interceptor contains 184 pieces (186 pieces with the blasters attached).
Background[]
Solomon Blaze's Swarm Interceptor had participated in many battles during the War for the Planet Selva Galaxy. In the early battles, it had taken out a swarm of Mosquitoid Speeders.
