Warship

The giant Warship is a common boss enemy pilots face during R-Type missions. Warships are typically festooned with weapons and supplemental parts, and are frequently supported by drone craft, such as Guntaks or Revos to fend off small attackers. Regardless, the Warship's Core is the primary target. The Warship has been known to detach parts of itself after sustaining damage in that area, which then become a navigation hazard.

R-Type[]

Approximately 1 kilometer in length, this craft comes equipped with a space navigation system.

The Warship contains the components:

Although it is called the Green Inferno, it was also given a small number of nicknames, such as the Battleship Crusader and the Mega Battleship. In some versions of the game (most notably the PC-Engine), there is also the ground to contend with, when the ship flies lower, as well as enemies who will "escort" the Warship (e.g. Bink, Pata-Pata)

R-Type II/Super R-Type[]

A Bydo warship used to capture planets. It is equipped with homing missiles, a wave laser and a vertical laser.

Pilots will be assaulted by many Warships in this mission, thankfully a bit smaller than the first one. They're outfitted with Bydo Shot cannons, forward-firing bolt lasers that pierce through Forces, missile launchers, bomb droppers, lasers that shoot towards the ground and are even equipped with Hatches. These ships cannot be destroyed, as they are rendered to be nearly indestructible for the most part. They carry Audreys and will deploy them when hostile targets are nearby.

The Warships in Super R-Type are colored red and are much larger than the likes of the first one.

They are called the Planet Bombing Warships here.

R-Type Delta[]

Although there was a Bydo mini-battleship encountered in the first contact, there is a battle with the super-carrier "Trojan" in the third contact.

A giant battleship of a separated and united type. It launches a variety of attacks.

The Green Inferno from the original R-Type also makes a return as the final opponent in the Stage 5 boss rush. It is now badly damaged and broken in half along its middle, with the two halves attacking as they rotate and slam together.

R-Type Final[]

A giant war machine made for inner and outer atmosphere use. The huge Wave Cannons on the bow are capable of destroying an entire planet. It was expected to have a great impact in the Bydo war, but the Bydo took control of it and now it destroys human cities.

In the manual for the PAL versions of R-Type Final, it is given the title Giant Warship. The Warship in Battleship Raid contains the following components:

Glam, Surge, Revo and Land Gains also protect the Giant Warship.

R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate[]

A Warship of the same version encountered in R-Type, and later as a wreck in R-Type Delta, is encountered in the third mission once the Space Corps and the Granzella Revolutionary Army have allied with each other, with all of its deadly armaments from past games intact; the player commander calls it the "Green Hell". The number of map hexes taken up by the Warship dwarfs even the largest playable ships, and any units caught in its path will be destroyed instantly. Gains and Revos will also impede player progress in trying to destroy the ship.

Like always, its weak point remains the Warship (Core); destroying it will destroy the ship. Sections of the ship that could be destroyed in past games could also be destroyed in its Tactics II rendition.
