Vortex spin

The vortex spin is an attack used by the main bodies of both the Quad and its massive sister mechanism, the Quadraxis. The Quad will bring its legs together on the ground and begin to rapidly spin around, generating a tractor effect that can draw in enemies. The Quad will build up intense levels of heat and need to release a venting system to cool off, although a kinetic charge can target the system and destroy the Main Body, forcing the Command Module to detach and continue fighting. The Boost Ball can also disrupt the spin attack. The Quadraxis's version of the attack is much more powerful, although it is not capable of moving during the attack, unlike Quads. Samus Aran can avoid the attack by being far away from it, while Beam fire, the Boost Ball and/or Screw Attack can disrupt it.

The VhoscytheAlt-Form of the Vhozon race is similar, although biological in nature.
