The Gains MK2 from R-Type Tactics 1 and 2, equipped with a positron rifle.

Both the faster red Fenrir, and its slower counterpart; the golden Fenrir from R-Type III.
Gains is a large humanoid mech, previously used by the Space Corps but now controlled by the Bydo. It is a multi-purpose unit used equally for offensive and defensive means in a variety of situations. Despite their size, Gains units are rather agile, capable of every kind of flight between hovering and interstellar flight, and tend to be very durable. Gains are typically loaded with a modified version of the Standard Wave Cannon, but their modular nature allows for a variety of other weaponry. Since Gains is one of the most popular Bydo encountered, there are many different variations of it and similar models. It seems likely that the Gains is likely an successor to the lesser known Scant from the original R-Type.
Appearances[]
R-Type III: The Third Lightning[]
An enemy similar to Gains and Scant is encountered in the Catapult Dimension and it is called Fenrir in this game. The first type, a golden version, fires large Wave Cannon shots. The second one, a red version, shoots more rapidly, but will eventually be killed by the environment.
R-Type Delta[]
Originally a humanoid mobile weapon for defense. Equipped with several giant verniers, the beam gun on its left shoulder has more destructive force than the R9's.
The Gains was first encountered in R-Type Delta as one of three mini-bosses encountered in the level"Lethal Weapon". On Easy and Normal mode, it is green in color but on Hard Mode, it is colored red instead. Depending on how quickly you destroy Contrite, the Gains may or may not reappear again shortly.
