Cytron
Cytron is a fast mechanical enemy that's been overtaken by Bydo cells. The ensuing corruption causes the Cytron to leave a solid trail of Bydo spores in its wake. Thus, the Cytron is a quick way for the Bydo to build structures. Cytron walls can overlap, causing much aggravation for pilots as each cell of a wall is weak, but thick walls, unless destroyed, quickly limit a pilot's maneuverability. Gelds have the tendency to follow Cytrons and eat the walls they leave behind. Since Cytron webbing counts as a wall, some Force beams treat it as such, as Reflective lasers and air-to-surface lasers will not destroy Cytron cells. POW Armor and Cancer frequently get trapped here, too.
Appearances
R-Type
Initially developed to destroy asteroids. Attaching the Bydo produced cellular wall, and rapid unit reproduction.
Cytron is an enemy in Stage 4 of R-Type.
