M.A.C.E

* In-game
* Full Body

M.A.C.E. is a giant robot made by Teochrome that serves as the final boss of **Intrusion 2**. It's fought in the level VS M.A.C.E. It's one of the deadliest enemies in **Intrusion 2**, having laser eyes, missile fingers, fireball fingers, fire breathing, laser hands, unparalleled strength, flight capabilities, and a seemingly endless amount of missiles.

## Appearance

M.A.C.E. stands as an intimidating mechanical behemoth. It has a green-gray color scheme that covers most of its body, with areas of light-gray and yellow trim. It has a completely metal construction, boasting sharp angular metal plates along its face. It has six yellow metal flanges along the sides of its face, with a yellow piece of metal down the center of its forehead. In place of its eyes, it sports a collection of five small black spheres. It has seven sharp metal 'teeth' that protrude from its mouth, and has a similar single large spike for a chin. The face itself is light gray with yellow and green-gray trim.

It has broad shoulders with sizable arms. These arms have a dull green-gray color scheme, with sharp angles and gray trim that match the hands on each arm. There is a Teochrome logo on its shoulders, along with a single yellow stripe near the top.

Its torso is quite thin compared to the rest of its body, with its stomach section thinner still. The torso itself is round and has a green-gray color scheme. There are four light-gray vents near its middle, just above its stomach section. There are two propulsion jets on its back that are visible from the front. Its stomach section is very skinny and has two more light-gray vents, one on each side. It comes to a black point on the bottom that is straddled by its two legs.

Its legs are connected to its torso by black joints. They are mostly green-gray in color but have a large angular light-gray metal plate that protrudes from its thighs. Going down the leg, its calves have a blue-gray color scheme with two large propulsion jets on either leg. Its feet are light-gray in color and have two yellow stripes near its top. The feet resemble actual shoes.

Based on its sprite compared to the player, it is around 150 feet tall, around the length of half of a football field, or the height of the Statue of Liberty without the base.

## Phases

### Phase 1

M.A.C.E. will crush both sides of the hallway you are in to prevent escape. It will shoot solid lasers from its eyes and sweep down the hall from left to right, and then back. This is repeated again, going a little faster each sweep.

It will then bite a hole into the hallway, breaking it into two. It will put three fingers through the hole it just made and will start shooting fire balls down the hallway. After enough damage is sustained, it will remove its fingers and crimp the hallway again, further down this time.

It will repeat the same laser sweeping as before, but this time will add another left to right and then back again sweep where it will briefly pause in the middle of the hallway to bait out a jump.

It will bite another hole into the hallway, breaking it in two. It will put three fingers through the hole it just made and will shoot missiles and fireballs down the hallway. After enough damage is sustained, it will chase you down the hallway by crimping the hallway in front of you and biting holes in the hallway behind you until you make it into a building.

M.A.C.E. will tear the building from its supports and will expose its thumbs through the windows to maintain a grip on the building you are in. These thumbs are the targets. It will violently shake the building back and forth, constantly changing its grip on it and changing the positions of its thumbs in the process. When both thumbs are destroyed, M.A.C.E. will lose its grip on the building and the building will fall to the ground.

M.A.C.E. will smash two holes in the building and destroy the flooring inside. It will put three fingers into the hole on the upper right and shoot fireballs and missiles towards the player. After sustaining enough damage, it will pick up the building and smash it over a silo until the floor breaks and the player will fall onto a roof with two platforms.

### Phase 2

The fight from here is somewhat unpredictable. There are many attacks that M.A.C.E. can perform in this phase, and the main goal is to damage its head. On average, M.A.C.E. will perform seven to fourteen of these attacks during this phase:

* Dump two Ball Droids, a blue barrel, an intact crate, and a propane tank into the arena (This attack is guaranteed)

* Smash the ground with either of its fists

* Shoot lasers from its eyes, sweeping left to right, then back

* Shoot lasers from its eyes, sweeping right to left, then back

* Produce two to thirteen sets of fireballs that shoot outwardly in a wave

* Produce two to seven fireballs that, once they hit the ground, produce a wave of fire from its origin

* Dump a Fire Balloon, a gray crate, an intact crate, and a propane tank into the arena

* Dump two Fire Balloons, a gray crate, and an intact crate into the arena

* Dump a Rocket mech, a gray crate, an intact crate, and a goo canister into the arena

* Dump a Grapple mech, a gray crate, an intact crate, and a goo canister into the arena (Only seen on hard)

* Clear objects if there are too many in the arena (specific amount currently unknown)

At 9,200 health, an audio cue of multiple short explosions is heard, and M.A.C.E. will fly onto the building in the background.

### Phase 3

M.A.C.E. will start this phase by either shooting a sweeping laser from the left side of the arena to the right OR the right side of the arena to left.

It will then send a barrage of missiles that come from both sides, with the first missile coming from the top and subsequent missiles arriving from lower and lower sides of the screen.

Then it will send a barrage of missiles that come diagonally from the upper sides of the screen.

Then it will send a barrage of missiles that come from the top of the screen.

It will then either send a barrage of missiles that come from the left side of the screen or the right side of the screen.

It will then sweep its laser from right to left, or left to right.

It will then send a smaller barrage of missiles from the top of the screen, and then will fly back to the arena.

### Phase 4

This phase has the same attack list as phase 2 plus two new ones. No new attacks are introduced after this point. The two new attacks that are unlocked in this phase are electric fists and laser fists.

* Electric fists is an attack where M.A.C.E. will raise both fists in the air as an electric current runs between both of them, and smashes the ground.

* Laser fists is an attack where M.A.C.E. will produce two lasers that come out of each end of its fist and will slowly spin its wrists.

At 5,200 health, M.A.C.E. will retreat to the building in the background once again.

### Phase 5

M.A.C.E. will start this phase by either shooting a sweeping laser from the left side of the arena to the right OR the right side of the arena to left.

It will then send a barrage of missiles that come from both sides, with the first missile coming from the top and subsequent missiles arriving from lower and lower sides of the screen. These missiles will home in on the player.

Then it will send a barrage of missiles that come diagonally from the upper right side of the screen which will also home in on the player.

Then it will send a barrage of missiles that come diagonally from the upper left side of the screen which will also home in on the player.

It will then sweep its laser from right to left, or left to right.

It will then send a smaller barrage of non-homing missiles from the top of the screen, and then will fly back to the arena.

### Phase 6

This phase has the same attack list as phase 4. Only two attacks are guaranteed in this phase, which take place at the very start in this order:

* M.A.C.E. dumps a container with a pilotable Rocket mech, an intact crate, and a propane tank (sometimes two) into the arena.
* M.A.C.E. then initiates its laser fists attack.

The battle will continue alternating between phase 5 and phase 4 until its health is depleted. When it does, the fight is over. Its head explodes in spectacular fashion and the player flies away in their ship as the credits roll.
