RX 'ALBATROSS'

The RX 'Albatross' is definitely my favourite of all the R9 variants in R-Type Delta - mainly because of the fact that it has a roving 'homing' Force unit which is highly effective. The surface of the RX is finished with a mirror coating as one of the countermeasures against optical weapons.

 

Weapon Charge: Burst Shock Wave Cannon
Generates energy inside of the enemy
to cause fatal damage to it.

Force Unit: Tentacle Force
This Force reminds me a lot of
X-Multiply..
Has a homing guidance system which locks onto
enemy targets firing in synch with the players ship.

Delta Weapon: Negative Colidar!
Generates a distortion in time and space to cause serious damage to enemies. A bit like Darius Gaiden's Black Hole bombs.. but with an awesome screen-filling polygon-warping/shimmering effect to go with it.. (Remember the water effects in 'The Abyss' - it reminds of this) My fave of the Delta Weapons by a long shot..

SECRET 'SHIP'!
Ever want to play as the 'POW'-Armour from the original R-type? Well you can in R-Type Delta if you can figure out how to get the secret 'ship' in the game..
