Karl-Gerat

Train Battery Karl-Gerat is the boss of the 8th stage of Carrier Air Wing.

Appearance
In its initial stage, Karl-Gerat is a red-coloured train with multiple carriages; the one in the middle is carrying Karl's true form. The engine of the train has a pointy "nose" and the command centre, which can extend upwards to reveal the core. Each carriage is armed with multiple guns.

Karl's true form is a large, tank-like vehicle. It has a red colour scheme (much like the train form) and it has many mechanical details. It possesses a large cannon (much like a tank) and it has many mechanical details on its body. The front and back area have missile silos on them.

Weaponry
Karl-Gerat is an ridiculously deadly rail weapon. Its carriages are all armed with various different weapons. The very rear carriage possesses turrets that fire bullets, the carriage in front has turrets and missile silos, the middle carriage (carrying the true form) contains missile silos, the carriage in front contains missile turrets and one orange turret which fires bullets, and the engine has another turret mounted on it, and can release its core to shoot bullets and missiles.

Karl-Gerat's true form can fire missiles from its missile silos, and fires a deadly laser from its cannon.

1st Phase
Karl-Gerat's turrets will aim at the player and fire. Once all the turrets on a carriage are broken, the carriage will be detatched from the engine. It will also fire missiles. The player must move forward to face the engine. The engine will extend and retract its core in order to fire bullets and missiles. When Karl shows its core, this is the player's opportunity to attack. Once the core is destroyed, the engine will detatch, and the middle carriage will release Karl's true form.

2nd phase
This phase is simple: Karl will attack using its missile silos, and will aim its laser cannon to fire at the player. The cannon is the weak point, and destroying the cannon will end the fight.
