Dive Spikes[1] are vehicles used by the Space Pirates in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
Description[]
Dive Spikes are simplistic craft which can be launched by larger troop carriers, such as the 565-PH Hellfire. Upon separating from the larger vehicle, Dive Spikes utilize thrusters that propel them rapidly downward, allowing them to puncture through ceilings and deploy troops directly into enemy territory. A single Dive Spike can carry up to three Space Pirates.
Appearances[]
While in flight, Dive Spikes are entirely conical in shape. Upon impact, their lower portion is driven into the ground, while the upper portion unfolds outwards to enable the Dive Spike's occupants to disembark.
Scan Data[]

Vehicle: Dive Spike
The cone-shaped chassis and thrusters enable direct insertion into fortified positions, while landing impacts are mitigated by energy conversion upon landing.
