Protomantises were an advanced class of Nefarious Trooper, serving as the minions of Dr. Nefarious and Lord Vorselon.
History[]
A Crack in Time[]
The Protomantises served as elite soldiers for Nefarious' forces during his campaign for control over time.
Two Protomantises accompanied Nefarious when he confronted and captured Ratchet, Clank and Qwark aboard the Nefarious Space Station.
After Ratchet arrived on Vorselon's Warship in order to save Alister Azimuth, the robotic troopers were replaced with stronger Chronoguard variants, taking more hits to destroy them and had blue armor instead of red. A Protomantis was first encountered on Zolar Forest, Planet Quantos. Unlike the other robots, the Protomantis never talks.
Characteristics[]
They had the same "brain" to the other Nefarious Trooper types, but was a different shape, had two small near-unnoticeable eyes, and had four small legs.
Combat[]
Ratchet fighting a Protomantis in Axiom City
The Protomantises attacked Ratchet by hitting him with a continuous stream of fire from its twin mini-guns that were connected to its head. They would also melee him if he came too close. If hit with a Mag-Net they would sometimes still fire their twin miniguns.
