Creepozoid

Blarg!

The Creepozoid is an animatronic prop for the movie Creepozoids of the Crab Nebula, directed by Rollie Friendly. It doesn't seem particularly OSH safe, given that a short circuit causes it to erupt in flames, but considering Friendly Films International, Inc.'s other dubious practices, it's not surprising.

Marvel The Transformers comics

During the filming of Creepzoids, the Creepozoid animatronic burst into flames. Rollie Friendly was less than happy.

Rollie scheduled the machine for repair in three months, but the hiring of Skullgrin put that plan on hold. It is unknown whether the film was ever repaired or completed. Monstercon from Mars!
