Raiden Mk. II, like its predecessor the Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter, is capable of utilizing two primary weapons: the iconic vulcan cannon and the powerful ion laser, as well as two types of missiles (nuclear and homing) and thermonuclear bombs, however, unlike its predecessor, it is known to utilize a wider variety of weapons, such as the Lock-On "Toothpaste" Plasma Laser, Recon Missiles, Cluster Bombs, and the traditional mega bomb (in Raiden Fighters), although in Raiden X, it changes color when obtaining a different firepower. The Raiden Mk. II, along with its sister model, the Raiden Mk. IIβ, make cameo appearances in DemonStar as playable ships and reprise their description from Raiden II, with very few changes.
