The '''Spyborg''' is an unfinished robot guardian aimlessly adrift in [[Sector X]] in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.
 
Built during the [[Lylat Wars]] by the [[Venomian Army]], Spyborg was apparently meant to be a weapon to be used against Corneria. However, a malfunction in its programming made it uncontrollable, and it destroyed the base it was housed in. The Star Fox Team encountered it outside the remains of the base in Sector X, and were forced to destroy it.

Line 29: Line 19:
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).

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.

==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.
*Coincidentally, Spyborg's head is shaped like a [[Nintendo 64]].
*If one destroys Spyborg without Slippy crash-landing on Titania, the player can still Change Course and go to Titania, even though Slippy doesn't need to be rescued.

*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.
*If one destroys Spyborg without Slippy crash-landing on Titania, the player can still Change Course and go to Titania, even though Slippy doesn't need to be rescued.
