DOSSIER

The Invid Shock Trooper is the basic "foot soldier" for the Invid forces. Twin Plasma Cannons mounted on the shoulders rotate in 90 degree arcs and fire bolts of energy called "annihilation discs" with a range of 4,000 feet (1200 m). However, the mouths of these weapons will glow white for a few moments before firing, giving some warning to defenders. The Shock Trooper can be most dangerous in hand-to-hand combat with its enormous claw-blade hands. With a maximum flying speed of 300 mph (482 kmph) and a top running speed of 60 mph (96 kmph), the Shock Trooper is an ideal first strike weapon. Only one possible weaknees is known: firing directly into its sensor eye will destroy the Shock Trooper Mecha and incapacitate the pilot.
