Super Zebesian



Super Zebesians are red armour plated, cybernetically-enhanced Zebesians that are a more powerful version of the Cyborg Zebesians encountered on the Bottle Ship. They are the result of experimentation by the Galactic Federation into producing a special forces unit, based on the Space Pirates.

Super Zebebsians can fire a red and green charged version of their basic laser attack, out of a large cannon replacing one of their claws. This charged shot has the properties of a Wave Beam. The cannon bears an uncanny resemblance to the Arm Cannon. They are also capable of raising their claws up like the Zebesians from Super Metroid and firing a barrage of several shots at once. Samus first encounters them in the Cryosphere, where they trapped her behind three glass barriers, and shot at her with their permeating beams. Adam was forced to authorize the Wave Beam so Samus could counter attack. Super Zebesians also attack Zero Suit Samus when she is escaping the Bottle Ship.

Trivia

 * In the first Metroid Prime game, there are certain Space Pirates that have been equipped with reverse-engineered variants of Samus Aran's beam weapons. One of them, which carries a modified Wave Beam, is called the Wave Trooper; the Galactic Federation's Super Zebesians might be a continuation of this technology originally used by the marauding race.
 * Super Zebesians resemble Red Space Pirates of Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission.
