The '''Meteo Crusher'''<ref>''Star Fox 64'': Official Nintendo Player's Guide, page 39</ref>, originally known as '''Rock Crusher''', is a utility ship designed by the [[Venomian Army]], and it appears in ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' and ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', including its remake, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''.


The '''Rock Crushers''' (also known as '''Meteo Crushers''') are utility ships designed to, as its name's sake, crush down asteroids and planets in the [[Asteroid Field]] into dust and extract the raw ore and minerals found within them. These materials would then be transported back to [[Venom]]ian bases to be refined and later used to construct weapons and starfighters.
As its name suggests, the Meteo Crusher was created to crush the asteroids and planetoids in the [[Meteo|Asteroid Field]], clearing a path for [[Andross]] and his fleet. Aside from destroying the asteroids, the Meteo Crusher could extract the raw ore and minerals found within the asteroid. These materials were transported back to [[Venom]] bases to be refined and later used to construct weapons and starfighters.


Despite being utility vessels, the Rock Crushers aren't defenseless having a cluster of four cannons on either end of their structures. Once the cannons are destroyed, however, there's nothing keeping its heavy body secured to the main core inside and it flies off into space exposing itself.
== History ==
=== ''Star Fox'' ===
In the first ''Star Fox'' game, two Rock Crushers were sent to clear asteroid fields near Corneria for Venom's forces to build bases, as well as allow the [[Space Armada]] to attack Corneria. In [[Sector X]], one of the two Crushers has already destroyed many asteroids. Despite being utility vessels, the Meteo Crushers aren't defenseless, having a cluster of four cannons on either end of their structures. Once the cannons are destroyed, however, there is nothing keeping its heavy body secured to the main core inside and it flies off into space exposing itself.


The core is where the minerals are thought to be stored and is the weakest part of the crusher. Its only defense is a single rapid fire cannon at its center.

=== ''Star Fox 64'' ===
In ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', [[General Pepper]] sends the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] to take Meteo Crusher out. Its manner of defenses are a shield that can absorb laser shots and fire three powerful blasts, missiles, ring lasers and lighting-like beams. After bringing the Meteo Crusher's strength down to half, the pilot, who often makes sarcastic remarks, will attempt to fool Fox by faking a surrender- the pilot can blow his own cover, or Falco will expose his lies.
