'''Ingsmashers''' are powerful [[Luminoth]] machines built to fight the [[Ing]]. They can create shock waves by slamming their arms into the ground. By alternating between arms, they can generate shock waves in rapid succession or if they slam both arms simultaneously to generate a larger shock wave. They also have Missile launchers allowing them to attack foes at a range. They will generate shields with light or dark energy to deflect nearly all attacks, but it can be disrupted with a beam of the opposite polarity as well as the [[Annihilator Beam]] stunning them in the process. They can be instantly destroyed with [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]] even with their shields activated.  [[Samus Aran|Samus]] battles a number of them in [[Sanctuary Fortress|Sanctuary]].<ref name="Logbook" />
'''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. Defensively, Ingsmashers are capable of raising shields of light or dark energy that make these already resilient Mechanoids even more difficult to take down, though they can be overloaded by a beam of the opposite polarity.<ref name="Logbook" /> These properties make Ingsmashers priority targets for [[Darkling|possession]].<ref>{{cite|Once the Ing discovered they could possess intelligent machines, the mighty Ingsmashers were top priority targets for the Horde. The drones retain all of their attacks-shock wave fists and Missile launchers. It uses an energy shield in battle that can be adjusted to protect against a variety of beam weapons. The shield can be overloaded by opposite-polarity beams.|Logbook entry of Dark Ingsmashers|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref>
 
While they are capable of taking numerous hits before succumbing to the damage, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] is capable of destroying an Ingsmasher instantly with a [[Power Bomb]], even with their shields activated.

==Trivia==
*Ingsmashers are similar to the [[Elite Pirate]]s in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. Both attack via shock waves and a shoulder-mounted long range weapon and neither return once they are defeated.
*Ingsmashers share several similarities with [[Elite Pirate]]s. Both are armed with shoulder-mounted concussive weapons that can be destroyed, both are capable of generating shock waves, though the Ingsmasher can generate them at a much higher speed. Ingsmashers are Elite Pirates are also capable of rendering themselves invulnerable to attack, though the Ingsmashers shields can be overloaded while the Elite Pirate will only deactivate their energy siphon system when they choose to.
