Iron Bean

Iron Bean is a boss in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 encountered in the Mystery Portal, in the game mode Boss Hunt. He resembles an orange-coloured Super Bean with armour similar to Iron Citron and a brown, spiked cape. He appeared in Z-Tech Factory in the mission Iron Bean’s Comeback Special. According to the mission's description, he somehow returned after being banished to Jupiter for 7 years. His attacks are much more dangerous than Super Bean’s attacks and have considerable amounts of splash. His bait is Heavy Metal Boys’ Body Spray.
==Abilities==
*Laser Breaker: Fires a rapid burst of lasers from his eyes in bursts of five with splash damage.
*Spiked Cape Twirl: Spins around to damage, knockback and stun enemies.
*Explody Warp: Warps a short distance away and drops a Chili Bean Bomb where he was.
*Heavy Metal Megashield: After losing a quarter of his health, Iron Bean will raise a completely indestructible shield. A set of objectives must be completed in order to destroy the shield. Notably, it is a part of the map, as shooting the shield does not show a hitmarker and it will leave a marking on the shield.
*Last Resort: Once he only has a single percentage of his health remaining, Iron Bean will use this very powerful attack. While this is active, Iron Bean suffers damage 10 times reduced and can fire an absolutely devastating beam from his mouth that deals massive damage and can demolish even the strongest of characters in a few seconds.
==Health==
*Normal: 50,000
*Hard: 40,000
*CRAAAAZY: 30,000
==Boss Battle==
Depending which bait the player chose, the player would have been greeted by either Iron Bean, Super Iron Bean, or Epic Iron Bean.
At the beginning of the boss hunt, the group of players would have to defeat waves of Plants. Plants in this battle include:
*Metal Petal
*Armour Chomper
*Iron Citron
*Armoured weeds
*Super Bean
*Marigold (Objective only)
*Sunflower (Objective only)
*Fire Flower (Objective only)
*Mystic Flower (Objective only)
*Sun Pharaoh (Objective only)
*Vampire Flower (Objective only)
*Sunflower Queen (Bait defense & Objective only)
*Squash (Bait defense only)
===Phase 1===
Once Iron Bean appeared, he would begin his attack patterns, and the group would have to work together in order to lower his health. Once a quarter of his health was depleted, he activated his Heavy Metal Megashield ability, which began phase 2.
===Phase 2===
Iron Bean’s shield is completely indestructible, so Zomboss instructs you to vanquish plants while he figures out something to do. The team would need to vanquish a set amount of Plants to proceed onto the next phase, starting at 15 and going up to 30.
===Phase 3===
Once the set amount of Plants vanquishes have been achieved, Zomboss returns and tells us that he has located a Champion Marigold that keeps an elusive object known as the Shield Breaker. The players then need to vanquish the Champion Marigold to obtain a Shield Breaker, which is the only thing that can destroy Iron Bean’s shield. Once the Champion Marigold has been defeated, the Shield Breaker spawns at a random set place on the map.
===Phase 4===
Turns out the Shield Breaker needs energy, and it’s solar powered! The players must then vanquish Sunflowers to fill up the Shield Breaker’s energy to 100%. Sunflowers start to spawn plentifully, including some variants that are not part of the hunt’s wave data and a Sunflower Queen. A single Sunflower vanquished increases the charge by 7%, while vanquishing the Sunflower Queen increases the charge by 60%. 
===Phase 5===
Once the Shield Breaker has been fully charged, the players must lure Iron Bean to the Shield Breaker in order to break his shield, allowing him to be damaged again. Unfortunately, Iron Bean cannot see with his shield active, so you must shoot at his shield to regain his attention when he loses track of you and starts to wander off, as Beans have poor attention spans, and very good hearing (but beans don’t have ears!). Once his shield has been broken, you can continue attacking the boss until he reaches a half and three quarters of his health, where he raises his shield again and phases 2-5 must be repeated until the boss is vanquished.
After losing three quarters of his health, Iron Bean "called for help," which summoned a Sunflower Queen. Ideally, this Sunflower Queen must be preserved until phase 4 when another Sunflower Queen spawns, easilly allowing the players to fully charge the Shield Breaker. 
When he only has 1% of his health left, he will use his Last Resort ability, which makes finishing Iron Bean off a difficult task.
After beating Iron Bean, the player would receive a variation of the "Heavy Metal Headgear" depending on the difficulty beaten (Standard, Enchanted, Scrumptious etc.), exclusive to Super Brainz.

==Trivia==
*Iron Bean has been in the mind of Flipsane since 2017
*His baits’ descriptions are as follows:
**Heavy Metal Boys’ Body Spray: A full-to-the-brim boys’ deodorant can. Smells like cheese, baked beans, pencil shavings and/or freshly cut grass.
**Enchanted Body Spray: Made of solid gold; you can’t even lift it off the ground. Smells like kerosene on the rocks.
**Scrumptious Body Spray: Completely edible, and contains 5,455 different vitamins! Smells like regret.
*The start text for the second Bait wave of this hunt is BODY SPRAY REMAINS HEAVY
*Similar to other Boss Hunt exlusive bosses, Iron Bean has lower health on higher difficulties.
