The first version has 6 arms that have ability to shoot lightning bolt directly under it. When it starts to glow, it means it will shoots soon after. This version is the most similar to the original in heavy weapon.
It has two patterns, first it charges all its arms simultaneously, don’t under it! And second, it will flies left-right-left-right and shoots with each arm once, and then back to pattern one.
This version has simpler attack. It shoots green long beam (like UCO’s) from each arm once to your position. Be careful to not ruin the pattern, or you’re trapped.
This one is wider than the others. The core won’t run away too far from the center, and its arms divide the screen into 4 regions. Its arms will be rotating and sometimes it rotate it back to opposite direction. The orange parts will shoot sunballs if the difficulty hard enough.
This time it backs again and throwing 3 electric balls at you simultaneously! These 3 will link to each other creating triangle shape. Each ball moves at different speed, so the shape may shift.
It has unique ability, the bowl-like shaped arm is a magnet and will pull you closer while the other arm shoots red laser at you. After that, it will rotate the arms so both will swap their position.
You know how a wrecking ball works? Also the purple wrecking ball will shoot purple neutrons randomly like a chickenaut does. Don’t worry, you won’t die by touching its cable.
Well, it’s only a rough design of the boss. Detail and any technical improvement should be done. What’s make you think it’s weird? And how it supposed to be in your opinion?
I drew that with my lovely low end pc with outdated corel draw
Seems like the 6, 3 and 1 arm/s variants won the poll! Do you like the attack pattern? Or it could be improved?
More detail on the attack patterns

After all the six arms have shot, back to pattern 2
Difficulty will affect : flying speed, arm charge delay
3 arms
Comes from above
The arms starts spinning and throw 3 electric balls simultaneously while it flies right-left randomly
Do it until you tired or it has been destroyed
Difficulty affects : flying speed, electric ball travel speed, delay per throw
Note that electric balls are linked to each other creating triangle shape
1 arm
Comes from upper right
Flies right-left up-down randomly like a drunk driver, and the wrecking ball swings following it wherever it goes while shooting random purple neutrons
