You are correct, it is the Alienator, set 6876.

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=6876-1

As a kid, this was possibly my favorite set. I used the instructions to build several others for different factions, and treated them like fearsome war machines. I recently rebuilt one on a whim and posted some cheesecake promotional pictures of it with this fig, which I've been calling the Blacktron Booth Babe, on /toy/. She's also the Pig Girl up thread >>40728519

I don't have any of those pictures anymore, but I rebuilt the Blacktron Alienator into a racing hovercar, then used the template to put together the stomper seen in this episode, with a lot of ornamental crap on top.
