Sardes MK III S

Sign in to edit

The Sardes MK III S (サルデス MK III S Sarudesu MK III S), also referred to as Monkey Death MK III S or Winged Prototype, was a combat mech manufactured and utilised by the rebel army lead by Andrew Oikonny during their rebellion against the Cornerian Army, en massed in battle at Fortuna. Although combat mechs had already been used by Venomian forces during the Lylat Wars, this particular mecha was assumed to be a new kind of prototype by Fox McCloud.

While the threat of Oikonny was no longer important during the Aparoid Invasion, another Sardes MK III S model (presumably the same one encountered from before or another one) was encountered outside the space station that Pigma Dengar had fled to. This mech was different from before because it had been assimilated by Aparoidedation, yet it was little more than a distraction, since the real focus of the mission was Pigma.

In-game[]

Mission 1: Fortuna[]

Just after passing the trio blockade of Oikonny's battleships, the Sardes MK III S comes out of nowhere and automatically charges up its devastating laser beam to attack Fox's Arwing, which Peppy Hare advises to Barrel Roll to deflect its attack. This enemy can be seen as an introduction to using the techniques effect. If Fox manages to destroy it without getting hit, it will cause two groups of enemies to spawn and Krystal will spot them.

Mission 5: Meteo[]

Another of these prototype mechs is encountered just after Falco is tailed by Aparoid Flyers outside the space station, where it bursts out of an interior hangar, covered in Aparoidedation. It fights identically to how it did in the first mission but can be destroyed quickly using Hyper Lasers and continual laser fire. When Fox saw it, he first thought it was the one they had encountered at Fortuna.
