Creepozoid

Blarg!

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

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

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

The machine was scheduled to be fixed in three months, but the hiring of Skullgrin put that plan on hold. It is unknown if it was ever repaired, or the film completed. Monstercon from Mars!
