Heavy Warrior in Starship Troopers: Invasion "Mobile Infantry"
Heavy Warriors are slightly larger Warrior Bugs with red markings. They serve as heavy infantry units in the Arachnid army although they also serve as bodyguards. Heavies could gorge major amounts of firepower but could easily be killed by a grenade from a grenade launcher. Heavies were more effective against targets with weaker firepower but were no match for targets with heavy firepower. Federal Intelligence Bugs can easily take out a Heavy Warrior with several slashes, however in some situations, a Heavy can easily kill an FIB with one heavy slash or stomp. As specialized soldiers in combat, Heavy Warriors are deployed in pairs of 3 or 2.
History[]
During the battle in the Skinny Temple, a pack of Heavy Warriors crawled out of Bug holes when the K-12 Team secured the Temple when facing four Plasma Grenadier Bugs. The Heavies were defeated and the Mobile Infantry proceeded into Bug City located directly beneath the Temple. During the raid to capture the hive, 3 Heavies were the target of the player in one of the tunnels and were defeated by Federal Intelligence Bugs and the grenade launcher. Later when the K-12 Team arrived at the Queen's chambers, 2 Heavies, serving as bodyguards, were distracted by the K-12 Team and all Bugs in the chamber attacked the K-12, giving Carl Jenkins and the Federation Marine Corps plenty of time to capture the Queen Bug and prepare it for evacuation onboard the John A. Warden.
Later, after clearing the hive, Henry Varro and his men were unaware that the Queen was already captured by Jenkins. Varro and his men tried to figure out what happened to the Queen and just guessed that Brain Bugs killed the Queen when the fighting got close. This may indicate that Brain Bugs were present at the battle but this was just a theory proposed to explain the disappearance of the Queen. The K-12 hear a roar and are ordered to move out. While hunting for the Super Tank Bug, Heavy Warriors are all over the asteroid surface preventing the K-12 from reaching the tank. The Heavies were defeated and the player, with the aid of Federal Intelligence Bugs, reached a giant Heavy Warrior, that shot a purple corrosive liquid, known as the "Super Tank" Bug. The player defeated it by shooting out its eyes to reach its nerve stem. All remaining Heavy Warriors were killed during the destruction of Fort Casey during detonation.

However, Heavies were not present at the John A. Warden Incident.
