[Invid Scout] [Armored Scout] [Invid Trooper] [Shock Trooper] [Invid Command Unit]
[Royal Command Battloid] [Invid Enforcer]

     The shock trooper is a "trooper" outfitted with two powerful plasma canons attached to the main body above the shoulders. The cannons can swivel up and down in a 90 degree position, making them effective against ground and air attacks. The body is identical to the trooper/worker in every way.

     The shock Trooper is usually assigned to similar duty as its unarmed brother, with the emphasis on combat. This is the invid foot soldier.

 * The sensor eye is the most vulnerable part of the invid's mecha body. Destruction of the sensor eye will kill/destroy the mecha and pilot (goes right through crew compartment).
