Shieldtrons are enemies that appear in Star Fox Guard. They are Combat Class models, designed to target the Tower. Shieldtrons are first seen in the stage "Shielded Soldiers".
Appearance[]
Shieldtrons resemble shields that walk on treadmills for feet. Their body is hidden behind a shield that protects them and acts as a sort of face with yellow eyes.
Gameplay[]
Shieldtrons will give you a lot of headaches. Not only because they hide behind an impenetrable alloy shield, but because that more often than not - and true to their name - these enemies hide all other sorts of nasty bot surprises. Fortunately, their shields do not cover the whole body. You need to be patient and trick them, by taking a few shots at them and quickly changing to another camera that as an angle on their exposed body. They sometimes take sneak peeks with their optic parts above the shield - make sure you take advantage of this and hit them square in the eyes. If everything fails and they do make it to the base's Core, you will have just a few seconds to take them down as they celebrate by raising their shield (an action that makes them vulnerable to attack and is a bit lengthy) before attacking. If you find these giving you trouble, know that their shield is useless against our Lock-on camera turret since its shots rain from above. Use that knowledge to your advantage.
A defeated Shieldtron adds three units to the progress bar.
