After Ridley's defeat at the hands of [[Samus Aran]] on the planet [[Zebes]], the [[Space Pirate]]s resuscitated him and began reconstruction on his mortally damaged body on [[Frigate Orpheon|Frigate ''Orpheon'']],<ref>{{cite|Subject >> Meta Ridley<br>Weapon update complete<br>Stinger ballistics >> online<br>Plasma fuel cell >> online|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Subject >> Meta Ridley<br>Cerebral casing stable.<br>Exoskeloton seal holding.<br>Begin umbilical retraction.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> enhancing him with metagenetic and cybernetic improvements and an array of weapons systems, including a [[Multi-Missile System]], a [[Kinetic Breath Weapon]], an [[Ultrathermal Flamestrike Projector]], and a [[Meson Bomb Launcher]]. These supplements resulted in a drastic increase in strength, mobility, and offensive capability, making him a perfect candidate for the pride of the Space Pirate security force.<ref>{{cite|The reconstruction of geoform 187, code-named Ridley, was recently completed. After his defeat on Zebes, Command ordered a number of metagenetic improvements for him. Though aggressive, we were able to implement these changes in a cycle. The metamorphosis was painful, but quite successful in the end. Early tests indicate a drastic increase in strength, mobility, and offensive capability. Cybernetic modules and armor plating have been added as well. We believe our creation, now called Meta Ridley, will become the mainstay of our security force, a job he will certainly relish.|[[Space Pirate Data]] "Meta Ridley"|Metroid Prime}}</ref>

Meta Ridley was on-board the Space Pirate Frigate ''Orpheon'' when the mutated [[Parasite Queen]]s being experimented upon there broke free and began wreaking havoc, and briefly encountered Samus Aran before escaping the deteriorating Frigate and heading for [[Tallon IV]]. Samus follows Meta Ridley but does not encounter him again until she is exploring the [[Phendrana Drifts]], where his shadow is seen as he flies overhead in the direction of the [[Phazon Mines]].

 

After Samus obtains all 12 [[Chozo Artifact]]s and is about to enter the [[Impact Crater]], Meta Ridley confronts her in the [[Artifact Temple]] and a battle ensues. Initially, Meta Ridley attacks Samus from the air with his long-range arsenal, destroying the [[Chozo]] totems in the process. After incurring sufficient damage, however, his wings disintegrate and he engages her in melee combat on the ground.

 

Samus defeats Meta Ridley, and he is assumed dead after a direct hit by a laser beams emitted from the statues adorning the Artifact Temple and a fall off a cliff into the Impact Crater.

Meta Ridley was revived after that fall, re-equipped with the same systems, and given [[Phazite]] Armor before he appears again. Samus witnesses Meta Ridley attacking [[Norion]] and was first seen attacking a platoon of [[Galactic Federation#Trooper Classes|Galactic Federation Marines]].

 

Samus has to face him while in traveling through confining spaces in [[Morph Ball]] form and use [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bomb]]s to shake him off while evading his attacks.

 

Afterwards, she manages to get to [[Generator C]], where Meta Ridley attacks again. He lunges at her from above and forces them both through the floor into an extremely long shaft beneath the generator. They engage in battle while in a state of free-fall, and Samus manages to emerge victorious [[Countdown|before they impact]] the base of the shaft. Meta Ridley is presumed destroyed, but he is revived again as [[Omega Ridley]].
