'''Ingsmashers''' are powerful [[Luminoth]] machines built to fight the [[Ing]]. Their primary mode of attack is creating shock waves by slamming their arms into the ground,<ref name="Logbook" /> by alternating between arms, they can generate shock waves in rapid succession. A larger shock wave can be generated when the Ingsmasher slams both are into the ground simultaneously. These Mechanoids are not just limited to shock waves for attack. When a target is out of reach they are armed with [[Ingsmasher Missile Launcher|missile launchers]] that fire several homing projectiles.<ref name="Logbook" /> At close range, the Ingsmashers will attack by hitting their targets with their powerful arms. | '''Ingsmashers''' are powerful [[Luminoth]] machines built to fight the [[Ing]].
