Alternative names: Egg Drone Mk-II / Egg Core
Specs:
- It is the supposed egg drone’s twin, with upgraded weapons.
- Comes in two forms: its egg form and its offensive form.
- Its health is indicated by the color of its yolk (core) with red-orange being the lowest one.
- It is on its egg form when uninterrupted from any attacks, but it transforms into its offensive form when hit.
- The drone and its turrets aim at the player if they continuously attack it, but after a short while of not being attacked it will revert back on its egg form.
- Fire frequency is slightly slower than a Security Droid.
- It works as a substitute for any minibosses for more difficult missions.
- Attacks can be either neutron gun or laser cannon (with warning ping) on most difficult missions.
- Optional: When enclosed on a bubble, any hit on it will trigger the droid changing to its offensive form.

Summary
updated picSpecs:
-
Larger than a Egg Drone but smaller than the Metallic Egg.
-
Only moves sideways and fires every short while.
-
It can only fire while it’s on open form and stays on a fixed place while doing that.
-
It can tilt itself to fire either at a random direction or towards the player.
-
It can only move while it’s on closed form and immune to all kinds of damage.
-
Has 4 turrets (on the sketch) and fires purple beams. The frequency and speed of the beam depends on the difficulty level.
-
Periodically it fires laser cannon (like on Space Crab’s) instead of the usual purple beams. It charges itself for a short while make the player prepare for it. Not included in the sketch though.
-
Optional: The number of drones appearing at a time also depends on the difficulty level. One on Tourist up to three on Superstar Hero (currently the highest difficulty). The screen zooms out as well.
That’s all for a mini boss. Suggestions are welcome but should not be complicated.
