2015 - Debuted in set 70170 Ultra Agents Mission HQ
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. Exclusive to the theme's flagship set, which had a limited shelf-life compared to evergreen themes like Star Wars.
Head
Lime green lizard-man face with a mechanical red cybernetic eye, orange hair tuft, and a jagged smirk. Traditionally paired with a black motorcycle helmet with a trans-clear visor.
Torso
Dark gray and olive green tactical vest over orange arms. The print features gold chains, straps, and pouches. Hands are black.
Legs
Black hips and legs with elaborate print including olive green knee pads, silver mechanical boots, and a continuation of the gold chain motif from the torso.
Accessories
Includes a specialized black neck bracket with four mechanical 'spider' arms (black clip elements and handles) to simulate his character's gimmick. In the set, he also utilizes a high-tech aerial vehicle.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Black, Orange, and Olive Green, with Lime Green skin and Metallic Silver accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with high detail density typical of the 2014-2015 era. Includes detailed hip and leg printing which was becoming standard for premium villains at the time.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of this specific character design, though some parts (like the mechanical arms) are common in other themes.
Condition Notes
The mechanical arms are prone to loose hinges (clutch power loss) over time. Check for silver paint wear on the toes/boots and scuffing on the transparent helmet visor.
Estimated Value
Used: $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New/Mint: $15.00+ USD. Value is mostly tied to the unique head and torso prints.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 70170, which retailed for $99.99 USD in 2015.

Character Background
Spyder is a tech-focused villain working for the hacker-mastermind AntiMatter. He is characterized as a half-lizard, half-human thief who uses his mechanical appendages to scale buildings.
Design Notes
The Ultra Agents theme was a spiritual successor to Agents (2008), utilizing more vibrant colors and 'AppBricks' technology. Spyder's design blends animalistic and cyberpunk aesthetic perfectly.
Similar Minifigures
Terabyte (uagt004), Toxikita (uagt003), and various LEGO Ninjago 'Snake Charmer' or 'Serpentine' figures due to the reptilian skin tone.
Collectibility
High for 'cult-classic' theme collectors. Ultra Agents has a dedicated following because of its unique molds and high-quality printing despite its short lifespan.
History
Launched in 2015 as part of the second wave of Ultra Agents, which shifted the narrative toward the 'AntiMatter' conflict. This was one of the last waves before the theme was discontinued.
Interesting Facts
The lizard-head design is a direct nod to the classic LEGO 'Dino' or 'Alien Conquest' eras but updated with modern cybernetic printing.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Wave 2 villains like AntiMatter and Terabyte in a backlit case to emphasize the translucent effects of the theme.
Modification Potential
The neck bracket and mechanical arms are highly popular for MOC (My Own Creation) builders making custom Doctor Octopus (Marvel) or General Grievous (Star Wars) builds.
Overall Assessment
An excellent example of LEGO's high-detail era for homegrown themes. A must-have for fans of sci-fi or reptilian characters, offering great piece-value due to the unique head mold and back-accessory.
