Aerotroopers are a variety of space pirates with aerial abilities. They use jetpacks to fly and are often sent on suicidal missions. Making their first appearance in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, they also appeared in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as common enemies and as a transformation of Gandrayda.
Description
These space pirates are often sent on highly dangerous missions and often employ suicidal tactics as a last resort move. Their jet packs can be ignited using the light beam in Echoes, while in Corruption, a combination of the charged Plasma Beam and the Grapple Lasso can be used to strip them of their jetpacks and send them to the ground. The explosion of the jetpack would kill them if they did not fall to their doom.
When on the verge of defeat, as a final maneuver, they will employ a high-damaging, swirling attack on their opponent which can be avoided by the usage of the Dark Beam or the Ice Missiles.
In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Aerotroopers appear infrequently, but are well equipped and armored. They need 3 missiles (or 6 missiles or a Super Missile in Hard Mode) to be shot down by Samus. They have a rather large and bulky jetpack obtruding from their left. They have good evasive abilities but their armor, jetpack adds to a very rudimentary appearance. They are equipped with modified green Galvanic Accelerator Cannons, swirling homing Missiles and their characteristic suicidal attacks.
In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Aerotroopers make a return in Corruption and are upgraded with the Twin Remote Attack Pod which replaces their bulky jetpacks. Their new attack pod is capable of releasing two pods that fire Bombs, Missiles and other attacks. The new jet packs increase their evasiviness for a flaw that may cost them their life. If the pack is ignited by the Plasma Beam, the jetpacks can be ripped off their backs using the Grapple Lasso making them crash into the ground and die. Samus obtains a friend voucher "Crash Landing" for the first time she kills them by this method.
Varieties
Several types of Aerotrooper exist in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Armored Aerotrooper
- Main article: Armored Aerotrooper
These Aerotroopers are armed with the standard armor which slightly resists the beam weapons. Missiles penetrate their armor easily.
Advanced Aerotrooper
- Main article: Advanced Aerotrooper
Their enchanced armor can be penetrated by missiles only.
Assault Aerotrooper
Their armor resists Missile attacks but are susceptible to beam attacks. Aerotroopers of elite ranks can join this order.
