Pylon Robot

Pylon Robot is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2 XL found in the final world of Adventure Mode: Zombopolis. It is meant to be paired with the conveyor belt mechanic of Zombopolis that will make zombies travel faster. If this zombie goes on a conveyor belt, it will dash forward and deal 6000 damage to the first plant it meets.
It can also shoot plasma balls in five directions towards your plants. This attack will only be performed one time every twenty seconds, though.
==Origins==
The zombie is based on the traffic cone worn by Conehead Zombie. The idea for the zombie came from a Plants vs. Zombies dream its creator had.
==Almanac entry==
==Overview==
The zombie's appearance will change upon absorbing 800 and 1600 damage. After that, it will fall apart upon defeat.
==Encounters==
Zombopolis
Memory Lane
Mystery Portal
Mini-games
==Strategies==
You should plant a cheap, weak plant (if possible) in front of the conveyor belts if you see a Pylon Robot approaching it before planting a defensive plant, since it will deal 6000 damage to the first plant it meets after leaving it. It also won't stop until it reaches a plant, so planting your defenses far away won't work.
Using a cheap plant to absorb the damage of the plasma ball attack doesn't really work, because the balls deal 500 damage to plants, which is enough to one-shot the average plant, meaning only one ball will disappear. It's better to do it anyway, though, because less damage will be dealt to your main defenses.

==Trivia==
*It appeared in a Mystery Portal event despite Zombopolis not being released yet.
**Though, it still never appeared in the almanac until Zombopolis was released.
*Its almanac description is a joke about how the Pylon Imp's mech from Garden Warfare 2 looks very similar to it in appearance.
*Despite being just a bot, it is still called a zombie even though it doesn't have a zombie in or on it at all.
*As with nearly everything made by MistaNik, this zombie originated from a Plants vs. Zombies dream.
*The plasma ball attack was made in Geometry Dash.
