Red Henchman 800: Difference between revisions

Two red Henchmen are used as the bodyguards in front of [[Admiral Razorbeard]]'s cabin, even in the PlayStation version, and two of them also carry [[Globox]] to his prison cell in the opening movie. The red version of Henchman 800 is a playable character in all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]''.

In the original and Dreamcast versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', the red colour represents the highest rank of [[Henchman 800]], above [[Purple Henchman 800|purple]]. They exist in two types, a weak version taking six [[Magic fist|shots]] to defeat, and a strong version taking nine [[Magic fist|shots]]. The weak type, technically identical to the strong version of [[purple Henchman 800]], fires regular energy projectiles, except for one in [[the Iron Mountains]] and another in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] – the latter being exclusive to the Dreamcast version, which fire large energy projectiles. The strong type fires large energy projectiles, except for one in [[the Iron Mountains]] which fires [[helicopter bomb]]s in the Dreamcast version. Two exceptional types can also be found in the game: the red [[Henchman 800]] standing in a rowing boat in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], which takes five [[Magic fist|shots]] to defeat and fires regular energy projectiles, and the one throwing [[keg]]s from the external part of a stronghold in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], which takes only one [[Magic fist|shot]] to defeat.

The red colour represents the highest rank of [[Henchman 800]], above [[Green Henchman 800|green]], [[Purple Henchman 800|purple]] and [[Yellow Henchman 800|yellow]]. They fire homing missiles which look like miniature brown versions of those used by the [[Grolgoth]] in the PlayStation adaptation of the game. Those missiles follow a curved trajectory and can be destroyed by [[Rayman]]'s [[Magic fist|shots]], constituting on the other hand an additional protection for the [[pirate]], and making it notably harder to use charged [[Magic fist|shots]]. They take six yellow [[Magic fist|shots]] to defeat and mostly appear in the late levels of the game.

Only two red Henchman 800 appear. Both act as the bosses: one is fought in [[the Precipice]], the other in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]] (the final level in this version). Their resistance is much higher than that of any Henchman 800 in the original version. The two fights are carried out in an identical fashion. Apart from their high resistance, these pirates bear some minor differences from standard ones: their energy projectiles are green, and they can transform their legs (rather than one of their arms) into drills, giving them a resemblance to a jackhammer. No other Robo-Pirates are encountered in ''Rayman 2 Forever''; although dialogue and intertitles indicate that Rayman's goal is to defeat [[Admiral Razorbeard]], the defeat of the red Henchman in Tomb of the Ancients is treated as a decisive victory by the characters.

Red Henchman 800 make an appearance in this game, but are the weakest iteration of [[Henchman 800]], less powerful than the [[Blue Henchman 800 (Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance))|blue]], [[Grey Henchman 800|grey]] and [[Green Henchman 800|green]] models.
