Buzzcock

Screenshot

**Buzzcock** is a boss from Armed Police Batrider.

## Details

Buzzcock is an aircraft designed for wide-area bombing. It comes equipped with a multitude of weapons, including optical cannons, large cartridge style guns and a laser sword which allows it to easily cut through steel. It is weak in close combat, however, with smaller craft being capable of easily engaging it without much opposition.

## Characteristics

Buzzcock is a large aeroplane seemingly based off on the B35 Flying Wing. It has sharp pointed wings and round hatches mounted onto them, and thrusters underneath. It also possesses an arrow-shaped head with a pair of turquoise eyes on them, and there are grey vents next to the head. Its most notorious feature is the laser sword on the back, which almost looks like a tail. All these features, and its blue colour scheme, make Buzzcock resemble a stingray.

## Battle

At the end of the level, Buzzcock makes its entrance by slicing off the head of the large aeroplane that is encountered near the end of the stage. It then flies out and unfolds its wings, thus beginning the fight. Buzzcock will attack by swinging its laser sword, deploying various guns from the hatches on its back, and calling upon smaller versions of itself to ram the player.

While Buzzcock seems like a vicious and menacing foe, it is shockingly easy to defeat. All the player needs to do is get near Buzzcock without touching it, then charge up their melee attack and use a bomb to defeat it.

## Trivia

* Buzzcock is the only non-final/rival boss which has its own exclusive boss theme.
* Quite oddly, if using a Sorcer Striker character, there is a chance that on the airport stage, Buzzcock might not appear and the fight against the Great Mecha Goblin begins instantly.
* Buzzcock’s first form resembles a [[https.//‘en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop\_YB-35|Northrop B-35 Flying Wing.
* Buzzcock slices off the head of a large aeroplane that resembles a Boeing 707 airliner

GiganTech Cybertron

**GiganTech Cybertron** ("GC" for short) is a villainous corporation and an antagonistic faction from Armed Police Batrider.

## History

igantech Cybertron was founded in the year 2002, born from the fusion of 2 high-tech industries, the Japanese Gigayama Industries and the American Sai Electronics. Through the genius of it's namesake CEO, Gigayama Tiger, the company quickly grew from a small food manufacturer into one of the world's biggest researchers in cyborg technology, specializing in the manufacturing of artificial human parts.

The company highly benefited from the various policies created to recover the world economy after the Mancrise Disaster, the explosion of a power plant in England which threw the world into a economic depression. This allowed GC to move it's head office to the man-made island of Zenovia, which was created south of Manhattan in an attempt to counter the increase in criminality and poverty in New York. As GC starts purchasing portions of Zenovia, a population boom starts on the island. but Zenovia became just another big slum, with no visible plans on law enforcement.

In the year 2018, GC finally claims full ownership of Zenovia Island. Various evidence arise that GC had been employing high-class criminals and mass producing weapons and war machines which were been smuggled to various countries and terrorist groups. Concerned about Gigantech's illegal activities, the US government secretly enacts a plan to destroy GC and arrest Gigayama Tiger, choosing 9 convicts from the Helter Special Penitentiary which are offered a reduced sentence in exchange for combating crime. Thus the "Zero-Cops" are sent to Zenovia to take down GC at once.

At first, they merely developed their aircraft, but soon began hosting "Dogfight games", elaborate performances that resemble actual battles, even using live munitions and weapons, before officially becoming "Air Fighter's Show" annually hosted and sponsored by "Landa"\*. These shows were eventually known by the people as "Bakraid". The aircraft demonstrated in these shows have reached levels of performance incomparable to the strongest planes of other countries. On the day before the 7th annual Bakraid, Deneb, an expansionist country from the continent of Shtarterra. The Randa Security Council(RSC) imagined the request to be a ploy to get Deneb's forces into the country. Despite this, the RSC allows Deneb to enter the show. Secretly however, the RSC contacts the pilots scheduled to participate in the show, promising large-prizes to whoever partakes in a special Bakraid (likely, the titular Battle Bakraid) against the forces of Deneb, with real war conditions instead of simulated ones, seeing it as the perfect opportunity to test the planes they spent so much money on. 9 pilots accepted,(9 out of an unknown number) to see who was/had the strongest fighter in the BATTLE BAKRAID.

## Details

Judging the design from its huge body and the armament for general-purpose arms with a characteristic flame radiation function, it seems that it is almost the same attack craft as the chinese prototype ultra-class hover tank "Ryukakuzan". The attack craft had a strong meaning as a kind of siege weapon developed for the purpose of destroying the enemy fortress from the front of the ground, but its usefulness is often questioned from the Japan military, and only two were prototyped. It is completely unknown how it came to be owned by the "Small and Medium Enterprise Liberation Front", but it seems to have something to do with a certain corporate nation that is hidden behind the organization.

Bloody Roar

Arcade flyer

**Bloody Roar**, originally released in the Arcades as **Beastorizer**, is a fighting game developed by Raizing and originally released in 1997. It was ported on the same year to the PlayStation by Hudson Soft, which also published it in Japan while SCEA published it in western territories. It is the first game in the *Bloody Roar* series.

## Gameplay

Bloody Roar is a one-on-one 3D fighting game, similar to *Tekken* and *Virtua Fighter*, with characters fighting on a three-dimensional arena. The game only has a button for punches and one for kicking, with combos being done by pressing the attack buttons in a specific order and special moves executed by doing simple direction+button combinations.

The main gameplay mechanic of Bloody Roar involves the Beast Gauge. Below the character's lifebar is a second gauge, which fills up when executing moves. Once enough of it is filled, the word "BEAST" will flash over it, allowing the player to transform into it's Beast Form by pressing a third button. While in Beast Mode, the character becomes stronger and gets access to more special moves, while the Beast Gauge starts depleting whenever the player sustains damage. Once the gauge is emptied, the character returns to Normal Mode. While in Beast Mode the player can also activate a "Rave" mode by pressing a fourth button, making the character much faster and eliminating recovery time between moves at the cost of the entire Beast Gauge, which is completely depleted.

## Story

This is a story in the future, not so long from now...

It is discovered there are mysterious people who have capability to transform themselves into a beast figure. "Something mysterious which has been latent in their genes", related to the formation of figure and capability of various animals, awakes one day suddenly due to anomalies. They are called "Zoanthropes," but few people know their extraordinary potentialities.

Under such circumstances, some researchers have found that almost all of us equally have the gene in fact that could "beastorize" ourselves. A special information code is contained in this gene, and this information code is called trigger gene. It is considered that only those whose trigger has been activated can transform into a Zoanthrope.

It was Tylon, Inc., a multinational company that planned conquering world using military force and technologies, and they were aware of the Zoanthropes' extraordinary power, about which a few scientists had been studying. Tylon schemes utilization of Zoanthropes' powerful capabilities for military purpose, and captures many of them as the subjects of the experiment. Furthermore, Tylon intends to brainwash and modify them to make them the fighting forces.

However, Tylon's plot that is going to abuse Zoanthropes is smashed by the counterattack by gallant Zoanthropes who fight risking their lives. Tylon's evil deed is exposed to the world, and many Zoanthropes who are captured regain the freedom.

## Details

When Bashinet first appears it blocks the player attacks, as the player has to deal with the enemies constantly appearing from the sides. Once the track ends Bashinet attaches to a large unit and begins the fight, shooting energy blasts from its hands and from the many cannons on its shoulders.

Victimizer

**Victimizer** (秋嵩, *Akitaka* (Autumn Heights)) is the fourth boss from Terra Diver.

## Details

Two minutes before the loss of contact with the asteroid "Tengen" for resource mining, a surveillance camera installed in a nearby rock mass caught its sight. Immediately after that, the camera stopped functioning, and it is almost certain that the destruction of the "source" was also made by this aircraft. Judging from the four large thrust jets that greatly extend to the left and right that make up the intimidating silhouette and the increased cooling tank, maneuverability and operational time are thought to have the same performance as a 6th generation spacecraft. Based on the above predictions, it is believed that this aircraft will make full use of attacks centered on single-stroke release tactics, and it is highly possible that it has strong armor and overwhelming firepower. Avoid direct engagement whenever possible.

**♪ ORGANIC METAL**
Eight Luck Interstellar Development Inc.

**Eight Luck Interstellar Development Inc.** (八福星間開発公司) is the main villainous organization from Terra Diver.

## History

Eight Luck is a space development company headquartered in the corporate-oriented country Enigma. It boasts the second largest share in the world after Jin-Sei Co., Ltd. At one point, it was the world's largest space development-related company, but it had to be scaled down once due to the rapid growth of Jin-Sei Co., Ltd. However, after that, they succeeded in rebuilding the entire company to its current position by securing a forcible sales policy and a low-priced labor force. There are many inquiries regarding satellite launches, etc., as they can undertake work at a lower price than Jin-Sei Co., Ltd., including the launch of supplies in orbit.

After some years of relative peaceful competition, the companies started attacking each other over the mining areas. Eight Luck successfully took over various smaller companies, intending on conquering Mars completely so as to establish a monopoly on the minerals outsourcing. In response to Eight Luck's attacks, Jin-Sei formed an alliance with the Japanese Defense Force, creating a space fighter program called Scarlet Lotus Team (SOQ), which utilized a new laser technology named Non-blind spot All-range Laser System (NALS). Hiring the best pilots and mercenaries, the SOQ are sent with the mission to protect Jin-Sei's areas and eliminate Eight Luck's war machines.

On Mars

**On Mars** is the final stage from *Terra Diver*.

## Details

Due to the efforts of the investigation department of the head office, the entire series of incidents was found to be the work of "Eight Luck Interstellar Development Inc." As has been suspected for some time, it has become clear that the company's purpose is to take control of the development of Mars and to monopolize the concessions that accompany it. We also obtained evidence that Eight Luck Interstellar Development Inc. had already secretly constructed an energy plant and a landing site on Mars, which was originally supposed to be led by Jin-Sei Co., Ltd. It seems that most of the sabotage work so far was for the purpose of concealment.

The head office, which has been boiled down by repeated sabotage work, decided to directly attack the military base of Eight Luck Interstellar Development Inc. on Mars. As a result of considering the concentration of the atmosphere on Mars and the strength of the aircraft deployed in the "Terra Diver", it was found that it was possible to enter the atmosphere without deceleration, and a surprise attack operation on the enemy base by vertical descent from the satellite orbit was carried out. The player avoids the enemy network and starts from the back side of Phobos, and after descending, takes control of the enemy base as it is. A large number of anti-aircraft lasers deployed around the enemy base will be suspended by another unit that acts at the same time as the demonstration battle on the surface of the Earth. The success rate of this operation drops to about 0.9% when a surprise attack is detected. Pay even more attention to operational confidentiality.

**♪ BREAK INTO MARS**
Conflict

Screenshot

**Conflict** is the first boss from Armed Police Batrider.

## Details

Conflict is a hovercar originally designed and sold by GC Co. as a firefighting machine, being equipped with hovering engines which allow it to travel over water and rough terrain. However, its high-performance engines and high horsepower mechanical arms also meant the machine was built with other purposes in mind other than firefighting.

The machine has been employed by criminals and retrofitted with many stolen weapons, being used by them to rob banks. It travels through subways and sewers and smash bank walls with its powerful arms, taking all money stored on the vaults.

## Characteristics

Conflict appears to be a large firetruck-like robot. It has a robot-like upper half and a tank-like lower half. The lower half has a dark red colour while the upper half has a more light red colour. The most distinguishing features of the robot are the shovel-shaped claws on its large blocky arms. Conflict has rectangular shoulders with turrets mounted on them, and a large block-like back compartment with abnormal tubes attached to it. Due to the appearance of the tubes it can be assumed that the backpack was what was used to store water when the machine was still used for firefighting. It has a grey head with a green robotic eye and its shovel claws are decorated with caution tape. The lower half appears to be hovering above ground, hence its nickname.

## Battle

Conflict first makes its debut by bursting out of the bank. Throughout the battle, it will aim its head towards the player's direction to fire bullets out of. First, the player needs to destroy the shovel claws (which prove to be harmless), then when they are broken, Conflict will reveal machine guns under the claws. The turrets on the shoulders will occasionally activate to fire more bullets, and the arms will be protecting the shoulders from damage. Destroy the arms then the shoulders will be vulnerable. Once both shoulders are destroyed, Conflict will fire missiles for the remainder of the battle, and will carry on shooting missiles until it is killed.

## Trivia

* Quite unique, Conflict's design resembles the Tragos from *Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.*

**♪ LETS ASS KICK TOGETHER**

Shorty

**Shorty** is one of the main characters from Armed Police Batrider.

## Story

"Shorty", as she is called, is a former police officer, having gained this nickname due to her relatively short stature and hair-trigger temper. Not only does she have various degrees in martial arts, she also has a very high IQ, often playing chess against AI opponents because nobody is crazy enough to play against her.

Once she learns of D.D.'s arrest she immediately gets suspicious and starts conducting her own investigation, but ends set up in much the same way as him and is arrested under the accusation of being involved with drug trade. She causes enough trouble in prison to be noticed by the government and is recruited to be part of the Zero Cops forming the Police Team alongside D.D. and Juuji. She pilots the Carry Carry.
Honest John

**Honest John the Automatic Armor** is one of the main characters from Kingdom Grandprix.

## Story

Busturtle

**Busturtle** (ガメグロン *Gamegron*) is the first boss from Dimahoo.

## Details

Busturtle is an autonomous heavy armored large walking tank. It is a fortified shell of a giant omnivorous land turtle that lives on "Glen Island". In addition to its heavy armor, it boasts a large power output that allows it to fly for a short time. However, the food needed to maintain that power has climbed to 100 Gobligan soldiers. There seems to be room for improvement in cost performance.
Gambiter

Screenshot

**Gambiter** (黒瞥, *Kokubetsu* (Black Glance)) is the first and final boss (except in the PSX version) from Terra Diver. It initially appears as a bomber aircraft that was causing havoc on Ota City as the first boss and will eventually reappear upon Zodian's destruction as the final boss (in all versions except for the PSX port of the game where it serves as the penultimate boss before Chromium) in Stage 6, under the name "Gambiter 2" and equipped with the NALS system the player does in battle.

## Details

Its shape, reminiscent of a jet-black boomerang, is very similar to the YF-152, which was announced by the United States Air Force for temporary adoption in the 2040s. However, it can be seen that the equipment and the like are aircraft specialized for suppression, unlike those already known. It is thought that the airframe configuration that is inferred from its maneuvering and the like is considerably different from the one announced by the United States Air Force, and it is highly possible that it is a copy that imitates only the appearance. The photo captures the thermal light irradiator being released and trying to leave.
Cold Corridor

**Cold Corridor** is one of the fourth tier stages from *Kingdom Grandprix*.

## Details

This stage takes place inside of a frozen dungeon. The player must watch for the terrain and the ice traps around. Halfway through is a large stash of treasures which the player can pick up for extra points.
