- "Where is the creator?"
- — The Syborg
The Spyborg is an unfinished robot guardian aimlessly adrift in Sector X in Star Fox 64.
Methods of Attacks
When the fight begins, it will fly out from behind the player, so one should fly down low to avoid collision.
Its main methods of attack are the lasers it fires from its yellow eyes and detaching and launching its large arms at the player. Both of which, can be easily avoided.
After it loses half of its life meter, the Spyborg will explode by itself only to return without its head gear, apparently with better vision of his opponents, as he quotes "The view is clear".
On occassion, the newly beheaded robot guardian will spin around with its arms outstretched or it will grab a nearby panel and throw it in the player's direction (though how it does this so accurately without the ability to see is unknown).
Story Role
The machine is consistently inquiring about its master's whereabouts (which is assumed to be Andross, though this is purely speculation), striking out at anything in front of him.
If the battle takes too long, its mad flailings eventually tag the Arwing of the hapless pilot Slippy Toad, sending him crash landing on the nearby planet Titania where the next stage will take place.
If the guardian is defeated quickly enough, the next stage will be the planet Macbeth.
Trivia
- The robot itself resembles the top half of a R.O.B. (Robot Operating Buddy). Evidence for this is backed up by its Japanese name: "HVC-09" which is similar to the Nintendo serial code "HVC-12", the serial code for R.O.B.
- Further evidence is that it also resembles the Great Commander II which also resembles the R.O.B.
- The Spyborg asking about its "creator" would seem to be based off of the V'Ger cloud from the first Star Trek movie.
- Coincidentally, Spyborg's head is shaped like a Nintendo 64.
- Spyborg is one of the few "talking" bosses where the pilot (the Venomian on the communication channel) can be seen. If one looks closely at the area where Spyborg's head used to be during the second phase of the battle, one can notice a small panel that is primarily blue with a red circle in the center not unlike Spyborg's communcation channel portrait.
