- For the original Hard Corps incarnation of this boss, see Crab Machine.
The Crab Machine is a miniboss in Contra: Legacy of War.
Description[]
A reincarnation of the Crab Machine from Contra: Hard Corps. The machine is installed on the ground and its four spears (weak points) extend along the ground to the surrounding walls. Unlike Deadeye Joe's variant, Colonel Bassad's variant is noticeably yellow with a flat centered base.
Initially, the spears retract and change angle when they expand again, reenacting the Hard Corps boss pattern, when the central pad rotates. At times however, the legacy may rotate in the opposite direction. After one spear is destroyed, the others remain permanently expanded and the central pad moves around the pit, rotating as its legs and base bang against the enclosed walls.
Because this boss is fought in 3-dimensions, the hero(es) would need to jump over the legs. Spacing between legs is minimal at times. The central base is harmful to touch during this battle. Once all four legs are destroyed, the base surrenders and can be used as a platform out of the pit (the base by itself is not fought without its legs, unlike the red Crab Machine).
