Shogun

“It's time to try our new weapon.”
—

The Shogun was a powerful ape-like mech piloted by an unidentified primate, which he used to command the Venomian fleet engaged against the Cornerian Fleet at Sector Y. The Shogun serves as the second boss for the Mission at Sector Y in Star Fox 64, where it is deployed by the Saruzin carrier immediately after the two less powerful Shogun Warriors are defeated by the Star Fox team.

History[]

The Shogun warlord's pilot was one of the most powerful and intelligent of followers who been promoted to positions of leadership in Andross's military machine, and he had been given command of specialized war machines of great power. Andross has dispatched his key lieutenants to seize strategic locations throughout the Lylat system by engaging the Cornerian Fleet massed at Sector Y. Corneria's main battle fleet suffered severe losses in Sector Y where a huge space battle had left the flagship crippled-- or perhaps worse. Debriefed survivors told tales to Corneria command of a new attack squadron of gigantic, humanoid battle suits in the area. Although it may have been too late to rescue the Cornerian fleet from disaster, the Star Fox Team stormed the area and knocked out the new iron soldiers of Andross. The Shogun warlord was awaited the Star Fox team on the deck of the flagship Saruzin in an All-Range field just ahead of the area of space between Aquas and Katina, flying into battle after the twin Shogun Warriors were downed. The Shogun made the mistake of landing on the Saruzin, and after a sufficient beating, the guardian robot was defeated. The pilot's last word was a frustrated scream, and the robot's circuits overloaded before it exploded.

Other Info[]

  • Although more models did not appear after the Lylat Wars, Oikonny's army featured a very similar Winged mecha at one point during the Oikonny Rebellion at Fortuna that was apparently a prototype given what the characters stated. The prototype was later encountered at the Asteroid Field in the Aparoid Base construction area, only this time it was infected by the Aparoids.
  • Going by the pilot's introduction, the Shogun was apparently a recent development at the time they fought.

Trivia[]

  • The name Shogun is the Japanese equivalent of "General".
  • The Shogun's pilot looks very similar to Granga.
  • Like the Shogun Warriors, this boss is a full-on reference to Mobile Suit Gundam. Fittingly, it happens to be equal to that of a Gundam. RX-78-2, to be precise. It even launched out from a catapult in a similar fashion.
