Rocketeer

Rocketeer is a zombie encountered on Day 9 of Zomboss Labs in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders
Rocketeer flies over your Plants like a Balloon Zombie, but moves much faster and has a reinforced rocket instead of a balloon. Its rocket takes three Cactus shots to be destroyed but can be blown off-screen by Hurrikale or Blover, or have its rocket deactivated by E.M.Peach.
Upon reaching the fourth column of the lawn, Rocketeer Zombie will release its rocket and drop to the ground, acting like a basic Zombie until it is destroyed.
== Origin: ==
Rocketeer Zombie is primarily based on a rocket; a missile,  spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle that obtains thrust from a rocket engine. 
== Appearance: ==
Rocketeer is based on the stereotypical scientist, a person wearing a white lab coat and large safety glasses. It is tied to the rocket with a series of ropes wrapped around itself and has its arms hanging down as if it was trying to grab at Plants down beneath it. Its appearance uses sprites from Gadget Scientist, the Zombot Aerostatic Gondola, and the unused PvZH Dr. Zomboss.
== Overview ==
Rocketeer flies over your Plants like a Balloon Zombie at a much faster rate and has a reinforced rocket instead of a balloon. Its rocket takes three Cactus shots to be destroyed but can be blown off-screen by Hurrikale or Blover, or have its rocket deactivated by E.M.Peach.
Upon reaching the fourth column of the lawn, Rocketeer Zombie will release its rocket and drop to the ground. This can be dangerous if you don't have offensive Plants back there, as Rocketeer Zombie will likely be able to defeat a few of your plants before he's taken out.
== Strategy ==
Use Cactus to destroy Rocketeer's rocket before he can get too far on the lawn, or use Blover to blow him off-screen. When using E.M.Peach to stun other dangerous Zombies, try to time it so that Rocketeer is caught in the bast as well.
Once Rocketeer drops, you can use Split Pea to take it down from behind or knockback Plants to move it up to the front of your defenses. Otherwise, try to plant attackers in the back to take Rocketeer down or use Sunflowers to stall until it can be destroyed.
