Ice Troopers are Space Pirates featured in Metroid Prime. Unlike standard Pirates, Ice Troopers are equipped with a weaker variant version of the Ice Beam that was reverse engineered to use against Samus along with the Power Beam, Wave Beam, and Plasma Beam.[1] A design flaw renders Ice Troopers vulnerable to the Ice Beam.[2] Ice Troopers are found in the only Phazon Mines, mostly on patrols. They are among the Pirates that the Omega Pirate summons for reinforcements.

Space Pirate armed with Ice Beam technology.​ Space Pirates have reverse-​engineered several of your weapons,​ including the Ice Beam.​ A flaw in the design makes these Pirates vulnerable to their own Beam weapon system.​ These weapons are inferior to your Chozo-​designed originals,​ but still quite potent.[2]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • In the NTSC version of Metroid Prime, Samus can only damage Ice Troopers with the Ice Beam and the Ice Spreader, as well as freezing them with a charged shot then shattering them with a Missile. In other versions, Samus can kill them instantly with Power Bombs.

  1. "Science Team is attempting to reverse-engineer Samus Aran's arsenal, based off data acquired from here assaults on our forces. Progress is slow, but steady. Command would dearly enjoy turning Aran's weapons against her. We believe we can implement Beam weapon prototypes in three cycles. Aran's Power Suit technology remains a mystery, especially the curious Morph Ball function. All attempts at duplicating it have ended in disaster; four test subjects were horribly broken when they engaged our Morph Ball prototypes. Science Team wisely decided to move on afterward." —Pirate Data "Hunter Weapons" (Metroid Prime)
