Anchor Force DX

Anchor Force DX in R-Type Final.

The Anchor Force DX is an improvement of the original Anchor Force, increasing the Bydo coefficient far higher than in the original model. It is used by the R-13B Charon. This power is too much for the tether to contain, and if the Anchor Force DX is left attached for too long the tether will gradually change color: eventually it will break and the force will turn into a Bydo creature, attacking enemies around it in a similar manner to the Tentacle Force for several seconds. During this period it cannot be recalled, but it will eventually turn back into its original form.

It allows the pilot to use the following beams with the appropriate Laser Crystal:

• Red: Shade Alpha +: Stronger version of the original Shade Alpha, it fires two destructive straight lasers straight ahead in a wider beam, and the "shade" of this weapon lasts longer than the original. Any equipped Round Bit devices will fire smaller bolts which follows the fighter's vertical movement.
• Blue: Search Beta +: Bends at 45 degree angles to home in on enemies, but instead of a single laser, the bending laser branches off of the main one, creating a web of up to four lasers.
• Yellow: Terminator Gamma +: Shoots two vertical beams that intersect, strafing from the top and bottom to sweep the area in front of the fighter even more effectively than the original Terminator Gamma.

When detached, the Force has no ranged attacks, but will still inflict greater damage upon contact.

Description:

The Bydo coefficient was raised even higher in this model. It has the highest firepower of all Forces. However the high Bydo coefficient also makes the Force hard to control. Pilots report frequent loss of weapon control.
