Raptor (Orbital Frame)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Konami video game Zone of the Enders, its sequel, and the associated franchise, the Raptor is an unmanned orbital frame used by BAHRAM as a basic combat unit.
Raptors are usually some of the easiest enemies encountered in the games. They are equipped with two energy rapiers which they use as their main weapons. Other Raptor weapons include Javelins, Geysers, and Bounders. Raptors are fast but often have weak defence. One Raptor was briefly playable for a segment of the first Z.O.E. game, when Leo attemtpts to get through a barrier. It can also be unlocked in versus mode in the first game. In 2nd Runner it is capable of shooting out a burst of plasma energy from its head. They are the most common opponents appearing in all the series so far. Raptors resembles a humanoid skeleton with wings. The simplicity, adaptability, and low-cost of Raptor model orbital frames have lead the Raptor chassis to become the basis of several other unmaned orbital frames, including the Mummyhead, the Cyclops, and the Clod.
