Macrophage - Enemy Design 4 (Virus COMMANDO)

The 4th enemy in Macrophage - The Virus Commando leads various battalions of enemy forces to critical parts of the human body. His goal is simple, complete and utter domination of your Systems. Cunning, adaptive, and beyond capable, he is extremely dangerous and will not hesitate to kill every cell in your body. While his right arm boasts a quite lethal heat rifle, he prefers infect his opponents quite brutally with his blade. A very well rounded fighter with respectable armor, speed, and power ratings across the board -

As far as design goes, I got a lot of inspiration from Metroid Space Pirate concept art. I tried to imagine what some of the enemies would look like if the Gamecube had the kind of power we now have in modern PC and gaming consoles, and thought what would the enemies have looked like if they had modern graphics. However, the weaponry, and armor is heavily inspired off of Armored core. And the legs and body-type are proportioned more similar to that of a Covenant Elite from Halo.
