'''Boss Biditank''' ('''''Poubelus Agrovis'''''), referred to as just '''Biditank''' by [[Bimbette]], is a mechanical boss piloted by the [[Spyglass Pirate]]. It appears only in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', where it is fought in the [[Pirate Factory]].

==Description==
==Description==
The Boss Biditank is an experimental tank resembling a giant barrel or [[Barrel Pirate]]. The machine has three wheels and an eye-hole for the [[Spyglass Pirate]] to peer out from. Its primary attack is a cannon at the front of the machine, which fires a round of small shots (similar to those used by [[green Henchman 800]]s). Its sides also open up and release two [[helicopter bomb]]s, but only when there are none chasing [[Rayman]]. At times, it shakes violently and releases electrical discharges; it is firing up a powerful laser beam that always hits unless Rayman is hiding behind something. Mounted on top of it is a mechanical eye, which is its only vulnerable spot, which can only be hit by the high-firepower laser gun at the back of the room.

==Role in the game==
The Biditank bears a strong resemblance to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo%27s_fighting_vehicle Da Vinci's tank].


The Boss Biditank was to be tested out [[Bimbette]], one of [[Globox]]'s daughters, before [[Rayman]] arrives in the [[Pirate Factory]] and frees her from her [[cage]]. The Boss Biditank is quick to arrive, however, and is piloted by the [[Spyglass Pirate]]. To defeat the Biditank, Rayman must step on the four [[switch]]es controlling the four generators at the four corners of the large room while avoiding the Biditank's attacks. Once the four generators have been activated, the laser turret at the back of the room becomes operational. While Rayman is using the turret, a door on the back of the Boss Biditank opens, and the [[Spyglass Pirate]] emerges. Rayman cannot harm him, either with the laser or his [[magic fist]]. If Rayman approaches the Spyglass Pirate or his Biditank, the Spyglass Pirate produces [[helicopter bomb]]s and begins to throw them at him. If Rayman successfully hits the Boss Biditank's weak spot with the laser, the Biditank will be damaged, losing one third of its health. Rayman must return to the generators to power up the laser and use it again. It takes three hits to destroy the Boss Biditank, after which its wheels and weak point fall off. The Spyglass Pirate then runs out, declaring "[[Technical Check-Up|I'll be back]]" as a ladder descends, allowing Rayman entry to [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava#PlayStation 2 version|the Lava Sanctuary]] and [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava#PlayStation 2 version|beneath it]].
==In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''==
Boss Biditank was to be tested out on [[Bimbette]], one of [[Globox]]'s [[Baby Globox|daughters]], before [[Rayman]] arrives in the [[Pirate Factory]] and frees her from her [[cage]]. Boss Biditank is quick to arrive, however, and is piloted by the [[Spyglass Pirate]]. To defeat the Biditank, [[Rayman]] must step on four [[switch]]es controlling [[generator]]s around the border of the large room while avoiding the Biditank's attacks.
