Tri-Ptera
Tri-Ptera is a WGD-model Medarot whose sole appearance is in Medarot Navi. It is based on a Pteranadon, an avian reptile (but not a dinosaur) of the late Cretaceous period.
Build and Role
Tri-Ptera's Arms will Randomize into defense support parts each turn. Its Leg part is an Air type, leaving it vulnerable to Anti-Air attack.
Tri-Ptera is capable of Medachange: by folding its arms, head and tail together the Medarot becomes a large floating shield. (Witness needed: what Tri-Ptera actually does in its form! --Ianator 19:51, 26 February 2012 (MST) )
Appearances
Tri-Ptera is the third of five Fossil Medarots faced in the final chapter of the game. It is first fought by the Space Robo general, Smog, who is beaten and tied up before turning on Kasumi's party. It leads two Pupa Beetles and two Pupa Stags into battle.
The "Tri" in its name is part of a theme with its fellow Fossil Medarots: Monocruziana, Dityranno, Quarbrachio and Zerosuicide. In addition, Tri-Ptera, Dityranno and Quarbrachio may reference the Select Corps' Air-Ptera, Attack-Tyrano and Landbrachio, respectively.
