Laser Cyborg

Laser Cyborg is a zombie encountered in Far Future in the game Plants vs. Zombies 2.

When Laser Cyborg enters the lawn, it looks and acts identical to a basic Far Future Zombie, with no way to tell them apart. However, when Laser Cyborg reaches 25% health, it will stop in place, revealing a giant laser and glowing red eyes.

After revealing its laser, Laser Cyborg will immediately shoot a laser two tiles in front of it, destroying any Plants there and leaving behind a charred tile. It will repeat this ability every 2 tiles until it is destroyed.

Origin:
Laser Cyborg is based on a laser, a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation, and a cyborg, a being with both organic and mechanical body parts.

Appearance:
Laser Cyborg's appearance is based on the basic Far Future Zombie, with a few modifications. When its ability is not active it appears exactly the same as a basic Zombie, and when below 25% health it has a giant laser protruding from its back, glowing red eyes, and a cybernetic arm.

Overview
Laser Cyborg absorbs 2000 NDS, and changes in appearance after taking 1500 damage. After reaching 500 NDS of health, its speed will change to hungry and it will begin shooting lasers every two tiles. Lasers target two tiles ahead of Laser Cyborg, and instantly destroy a Plant there as well as leaving a Charred Tile behind. Charred Tiles last for 15 seconds and prevent planting, although Plants can still be pushed there via Mecha-Football Zombie.

Strategy
Because Laser Cyborg looks and acts the same as a basic Far Future zombie, it can be hard to tell it apart from the pack. Its ability is also extremely dangerous, easily shredding your defenses if left unchecked. Because of this, try to keep an E.M.Peach handy to stun Laser Cyborg, or use knockback plants to get it away from your defense.
