Earth Defence Force 2017 Announced for 360

Earth Defence Force 2017 Enemy Description Report

Terror Ants (Black and Red)

These are the weakest members of The Ravagers' forces, but their strength comes in numbers. They are an advanced biomech technology that has been made to mimic the ecology and bodily structure of giant ants. The Ravagers are able to deploy these anywhere, almost instantly, making for a very effective surprise attack. They can crush their prey with powerful mandibles or spray acid that eats away at its victim's armour and skin. This acidic substance is being analyzed at EDF headquarters. The red Terror Ants are more powerful than their black counterparts because they are able to take far more damage.

Assault Spiders

The Ravagers' Assault Spiders were engineered to be high-flying, silk-spinning death machines. They can leap several city blocks in a single jump and their spinnerets produce a sticky, acidic thread that is easily capable of plucking a jet or helicopter from the sky. The silk thread is also effective against ground units because it slows them down on contact.

Ravager Gunships (Silver and Red)

These are the staple of The Ravagers' mechanized forces. These flying nuisances emerge from The Ravagers' giant Quadruped Fortress. While they are not particularly agile, they can manoeuvre at moderate speeds, giving them an easy way to aim their powerful diffusion lasers at you from above. Once locked on, these laser cannons can rip less-fortunate ground based enemies to pieces. The red Ravager Gunships are far more deadly than their silver counterparts because they deal far more damage and have much thicker armour.

Flying Saucer

These massive transport ships are often seen hovering ominously over cities where havoc is being unleashed below. Their underside has a hatch that opens to release Terror Ants, Assault Spiders, or even Walking Arms.

Walking Arm "Hektor"

This giant bipedal robot can lay waste to an entire city from several kilometres away. It is equipped with a pair of lethal arm weapons that come in two varieties. The first is a plasma-based Gatling gun that has an extremely high rate of fire. The second is an artillery arm that is capable of lobbing explosive plasma orbs great distances.

Quadruped Fortress

Possibly the most devastating ground-based vehicle in The Ravagers' armament. This giant walking fortress is equipped with lasers for close range defence and 2 plasma cannons that are 150 meters long. Its metallic hide is impervious to all types of fire and it has an orange force field that acts as a barrier.

Dino-Mech

A truly awe-inspiring sight. This enormous, dinosaur-like creature has been outfitted with powerful armour that gives it substantial protection from normal weapons. Despite its massive size, this creature can still move with alarming speed. It is capable of destroying massive areas with its fire breath and a devastating smash attack that can level buildings.

Unknown Creature

While similar in appearance to the Dino-Mech, this unknown creature appears to have been bio mechanically altered by The Ravagers. Heavier armour has been added to protect the beast's soft spots and its arms have been removed to make room for two massive laser cutting cannons. Tearing through buildings, bridges, and even the heavily armoured E551 Gigantes tank is quick work for this massive creature.
