'''Henchmen 800''' are a type of [[Robo-Pirate]] that comprises the majority of the army commanded by [[Admiral Razorbeard]]. They appear primarily in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and in its remakes, but can also be found in the [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|mobile and Game Boy Advance adaptations of ''Rayman 3'']].

The basic Henchman are the standard model, that comes in different colours with different weapons, but they all look largely the same. They sometimes appear in the level by parachuting or drilling up through the ground. More than often they are found sleeping on the job.

==Ranks==

The ranks of ~~the Henchman 800s is~~ determined by colour, though ~~this is not very noticeable until ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', as colour ranks~~ overlap in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. ~~There~~ are ~~also many ranks that only appeared in~~ the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions. Rank strength can commonly be seen in how many hits it takes in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' to take down a green Henchman, which then may be compared to the higher ranks. The red version of Henchman 800, the highest rank in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', is a playable character in all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]''.

The ranks of Henchmen 800 are determined by colour, though they overlap in the original and Dreamcast versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Notably, some of them are exclusive to the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions.

~~There are many different pirate models, each with their own strengths and weaknesses~~.

====Green====

===Green===

The Green Henchmen are mainly the Officers of Security and are in charge of Guardian Tactics. These have a green vest with green and white striped pants. They have very little health and generally just stand still and slowly shoot, however they sometimes throw powder kegs. In the PlayStation version, however, they have a lot of life, making them difficult to kill, but only ever throw kegs.

[[File:PurpleHenchman800.jpg|thumb|right|320px|A purple Henchman 800]]

====Purple====

===Purple===

These are much like the Green Henchmen, except purple instead of green, and they have much more life, and have brass hooks. Their bullets are often larger, and they have a habit of firing multiple bullets in quick succession. They move around a bit, sometimes jumping to dodge [[Rayman]]'s attacks. In the PlayStation version, their bullets are the same but are always fired in sets of three, in between running back and forth. They have more life in the PlayStation version, but not as much as the Green Henchmen. They're given a similar appearance to the Blue Henchmen.

====Yellow~~/Orange=~~===

===Yellow===

[[File:PirateYellow.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A Yellow Henchman in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'']]

The Yellow Henchmen have much more life, but move very little. Instead of bullets, they launch streams of fire, which move very quickly, and also throw cannonballs which start a fire where they land which causes damage when [[Rayman]] walks on it. Yellow Henchmen do not appear in the PlayStation version, but are instead replaced with Orange Henchmen. The Orange Henchmen have more life, and move around a lot via their drills. They don't throw cannonballs, and instead of a fire stream, just shoot large fireballs.

====Red====

===Greyish-brown===

The Greyish-brown Henchmen are the highest rank in the PlayStation version of the game, in which they shoot large energy projectiles.

===Red===

[[Image:pirate.jpg|thumb|A red member of the [[Robo-Pirate]] Army]]

These Henchmen, also known as Red Rums, are the strongest of the standard Henchmen, and appear with red vests and red and yellow stripes on their pants. In the original ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', they are the strongest Henchmen, but vary in some ways. Some of them have more health then all other henchmen and fire large cannonballs, usually three at a time. Other times they shoot the normal size cannonballs and drill through the ground, hoping to hit [[Rayman]]. One interesting feature of these Pirates is that they can instantly kill [[Rayman]] if he steps on the place from which they drill upwards from underground. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', they fire missiles which can home in on [[Rayman]], but these can be destroyed by Rayman's [[shot]]s. Red Henchmen have lots of life. However, in the PlayStation version, their rank is inverted and they have very little life and fire only basic shots. Two Red Henchmen are used as the bodyguards in front of [[Razorbeard]]'s cabin, even in the PlayStation version. Two of them also carry [[Globox]] to his prison cell in the opening movie. Later on, one of the bodyguards puts his foot out to trip [[Spyglass pirate|Razorbeard's lackey]], indicating that they may have some kind of personality, or at least a sense of humour.

* According to an official ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' website, the weak point from the Henchmen 800 was their penchant for rum.

* In some versions of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', [[Hoodlum]]s are largely replaced by [[Robo-Pirate]]s, such as [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|the GBA version]] and [[Rayman 3 (Symbian)|the phone version]].
