'''Plated Beetles''' are more rare, larger, armored variants of [[Beetle]]s. Like Beetles and [[Ice Beetle]]s, Plated Beetles attack by ramming. Although their armored bodies are resistant to most weapons, Plated Beetles' abdomens are vulnerable to attack and are relatively brittle. These stronger variants however could be leading figures in the Beetle community. It is interesting to note that [[Ice Beetle]]s do not have a Plated Beetle equivalent.

An officially released screenshot of a scanned Plated Beetle shows various styles not present in the final version of the game. The scan visor style seems to have been dramatically changed before the final version. Additionally, the logbook scan for the Plated Beetle also has been expanded. Matching logbook images were lacking in the beta version, also the Energy bar and other HUD features were changed completely.
