Pirate Commandos, being the best of the best among the Space Pirates, are prized by the Pirate military leaders. They are equipped with a special combat suit, boasting a powerful arm cannon, EMP Grenades, a wrist-mounted energy blade, a personal energy shield and micro-jets for dashing. The EMP Grenades are specially designed to temporarily disable Samus's Power Suit. The shield can deflect shots, but since it can't be sustained for longer than a few seconds, the shield is best suited for blocking projectiles like missiles.
