Shieldtrons are enemies that appear in Star Fox Guard. They are Combat Class models, designed to target the Tower. Shieldtrons are first seen in the stage "Shielded Soldiers".
Appearance
Shieldtrons resemble shields that walk on treadmills for feet. Their body is hidden behind a shield that protects them and acts as a sort of face with yellow eyes.
Gameplay
Shieldtrons will give you a lot of headaches. Not only because they hide behind an impenetrable alloy shield, but because that more often than not - and true to their name - these enemies hide all other sorts of nasty bot surprises. Fortunately, their shields do not cover the whole body. You need to be patient and trick them, by taking a few shots at them and quickly changing to another camera that as an angle on their exposed body. They sometimes take sneak peeks with their optic parts above the shield - make sure you take advantage of this and hit them square in the eyes. If everything fails and they do make it to the base's Core, you will have just a few seconds to take them down as they celebrate by raising their shield (an action that makes them vulnerable to attack and is a bit lengthy) before attacking. If you find these giving you trouble, know that their shield is useless against our Lock-on camera turret since its shots rain from above. Use that knowledge to your advantage.
A defeated Shieldtron adds three units to the progress bar.
