'''Armaguiddons''', also known as '''Apokalifters''' and '''Hoodflyers''',<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc: Official Strategy Guide|the official strategy guide of ''Rayman 3'']].</ref> are [[Hoodlum]]-controlled flying machines which are encountered in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

==Description==

~~They~~ are piloted by ~~Hoodlums~~ and only ~~found~~ in [[The Tower of the Leptys]]. ~~They can~~ shoot ~~green plasma~~ in ~~bursts from cannons mounted~~ on the back of it and can also ~~shoot bombs~~. ~~The latter~~ of ~~these two weapons are not used by~~ the Hoodlum pilots.

Armaguiddons are small, levitating crafts built and piloted by the [[Hoodlum]] army. On the rear of each vehicle is a cannon capable of firing blasts of damaging green plasma in short bursts. At the front of each vehicle is a mechanism which can launch bombs; however, the momentum of a flying Armaguiddon is required to launch them by more than few feet. Both the plasma cannon and the bombs are used by [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] during the portions where they pilot an Armaguiddon, but only the bombs are ever used by the [[Hoodlum]] pilots.

In the second-last phase of [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], [[Globox]] is captured by a mechanical arm, which takes him into a room containing several Armaguiddons; however, when [[Rayman]] approaches the doors to this room, they spring shut, and [[Globox]] is heard screaming. [[Rayman]] went on to fight and destroy the [[Horrible Machine]], causing [[Hoodlum Headquarters|the Headquarters]] to explode; exactly what happens to [[Globox]] is not known, but he appears to have taken control of an Armaguiddon and escaped with it.

As [[Rayman]] escapes from the exploding [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], the blast sends him flying through the air, and he lands at the foot of [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. As he nears the upper levels of [[The Tower of the Leptys|the Tower]], he is taken by surprise when he encounters [[Globox]], who is now at the helm of a flying Armaguiddon. [[Globox]] crashes the vehicle almost immediately; at this [[Rayman]] is distraught, but [[Globox]] quickly reveals that he has not been injured. [[Rayman]] climbs into the Armaguiddon with [[Globox]], and the two characters begin to fly upwards through the tower; [[Globox]] loses his sunglasses, which have never been seen before, in the process. The vehicle is controlled directly by the player; it is completely manoeuvreable in 360 degrees, and can withstand many crashes before breaking down. As the heroes ascend, they encounter other Armaguiddons; these ones are piloted by enemy [[Hoodlum]]s. For these portions, the game switches to a first-person perspective as the player takes control of [[Rayman]], who must use the Armaguiddon's rear cannon to fend off the enemies (who only utilise the bombs launched from the front of their vehicles). The game alternates between steering the Armaguiddon and fighting off enemy Armaguiddons. Both modes of gameplay become progressively more difficult as the level proceeds – the driving portions become filled with difficult obstacles, such as gigantic rotating gears, and the shooting portions involve ever-increasing numbers of enemy Armaguiddons.

Eventually the characters reach a point where [[Rayman]] can continue by himself. [[Globox]] stays behind in the Armaguiddon after this point. At the top of [[The Tower of the Leptys|the Tower]], [[Rayman]] battles the increasingly powerful [[Reflux]], who has gained the power of the [[Leptys]] by stealing the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]]. After the third stage of the battle, [[Reflux]] sprouts wings and flies upwards into the world of the [[Leptys]]; at this point, [[Globox]] arrives in the Armaguiddon, proclaiming his wish to find [[André]], whom he has grown to like. The two fly upwards in pursuit of [[Reflux]]. During the fourth stage of the battle, [[Reflux]] chases the Armaguiddon in circles through the world of the [[Leptys]], and [[Rayman]] must use its plasma cannon to shoot down the red energy balls thrown by the pursuing [[Reflux]]. [[Rayman]] must also shoot the magic barrier which [[Reflux]] has summoned to protect the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] embedded in his back – this is the source of his power and his only weak point. Once the barrier is down, [[Rayman]] must shoot the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]], damaging [[Reflux]]. This causes [[Reflux]] to land on the ground to recuperate, after which [[André]] (who also seems to be inside [[Reflux]]'s back) uses the power of the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] to spawn [[Black Lum]]s, which fly out of [[Reflux]]'s body and turn into [[Hoodmonger]]s once they reach the ground. The heroes must use the Armaguiddon's bombs to destroy as many [[Hoodlum]]s as they can, before they march back into [[Reflux]] and are absorbed by him, thus healing him. The process is repeated until [[Reflux]] is defeated.

The Armaguiddon also makes an appearance in [[Special Invaders]], a minigame within ''[[Rayman 3]]''. [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] pilot the vehicle through an obstacle-filled building. Other, [[Hoodlum]]-piloted Armaguiddons race against the player, but outracing them is entirely optional; the only objective is to clear the course within a certain amount of time.

==Trivia==

*The model used for Armaguiddon pilots is the same model that is used for the [[Hoodstormer]]s.

*During the development of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Armaguiddons were called “Taille-Facteurs”<ref>Dialogues from the ''[[Rayman 3]]'' PlayStation 2 demo game files.</ref> (lit. "Mailman-Slicers” in French), in reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIE_fighter TIE fighters] from ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars]''.

==~~Hoodlum Headquarters==~~

At the end of [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], [[Globox]] is taken into a room with several Armaguiddons in them; when Rayman gets near them, the doors spring shut and Globox is heard to scream. It is unknown what happens to him after the factory explodes.

~~==The Tower of the Leptys==~~

[[fr:Armaguiddon]]

It is later revealed that he survives the explosion in part three of the Tower of the Leptys and crashes his Armaguiddon upon his first meeting with Rayman. Rayman is distraught by this, but is shown to be alive a few seconds later. Globox flies up a long tunnel (losing his shades in the progress), where Rayman has to shoot many other Armaguiddons down with a cannon in the back of the vehicle to progress to the last part of the level. Globox stays in the vehicle after this part, not showing up until [[~~Reflux~~]]~~'s last transformation, where he is determined to find~~ [[~~Andre~~]]~~. During this part, Rayman must shoot the red energy balls Reflux shoots with the cannon, while shooting the magic barrier around the~~ [[Sceptre of the Leptys|sceptre]] embedded in his back. Once the barrier is down, Rayman must shoot the sceptre once again for Globox to take over. [[Black Lums]] will fly out of Reflux's body, which turn into [[Hoodmongers]] ~~once they reach the ground. Globox must use the bombs to destroy as many Hoodlums as he can. The two phases repeat each other until Reflux is dead.~~
