The VX-99 was a massive machine outfitted with many deadly weapons. The VX-99 Hoverdrone armor allows it to not be harmed by its own weapons and the use of Ion Cannons can only stun it. It's primary weapons were it's three long tentacles arms could fire powerful lasers that could make short work of skyscrapers. The dome of the robot was outfitted with three generators that could create sweeping lasers that Ratchet had to jump over. If the dome was destroyed, the machine's head contained a turret to fire at opponents. If the head was destroyed, as a last resort, the machine would self-destruct in an attempt to kill it's foe.
