Alpha + Beta Docked Configuration
An Alpha and a Beta docked together in Fighter mode

Better Together

  • The Beta locks onto the Alpha's back, turning two fighters into one heavy strike craft.
  • In space, the Beta acts as a big fuel tank for the pair.
  • An Alpha Battloid can keep the Beta on its back for extra thrust.
  • The Beta's missiles add to the Alpha's, but its chest launchers are blocked while docked.

Use the Alpha's and the Beta's own stats for their parts of the docked pair.
