Andross Mech

ENCOUNTERED Venom CLASSIFICATION Weaponized mechanical decoy OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Electrical bolts, spit-fired boulders, inhalation attacks DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Protective exterior mask

INTEL Disturbing reports have surfaced detailing an encounter with what can only be described as an enormous mechanical replica of Dr. Andross's head and hands—one capable of maneuvering like a large, weaponized ship.

Andross keeps this massive specter in a lair deep below the surface of Venom, and on initial contact it reportedly presents an almost lifelike appearance. While this mask remains in place, the two hands will swipe at any ship that approaches, dealing impact damage on contact. The right hand will also fire off powerful electrical bolts.

Meanwhile, the mouth is capable of sucking in entire ships and will also spit boulder-sized projectiles. A successful attack here will target the eyes as a distraction but focus on taking out the hands first. Bombs should be fired into the mouth when possible.

If this initial attack is successful, the exterior mask will disintegrate to reveal the robotic skull that lies below. In this state, the mechanized Andross will charge opponents swiftly and powerfully. The eyes have been identified as weak points and should be targeted in these moments.

ASSESSMENT While it remains unclear whether Dr. Andross is piloting this simulacrum remotely from a safe distance or has fully uploaded his consciousness into it, one thing is certain—this mech employs technology beyond anything we've seen before and is more dangerous than we can fully comprehend.
