Invid Soldier size comparison with average human
Invid Soldiers served as urban enforcers in major Earth cities to keep the population under firm control.
The smallest of the main Invid combat mechas, the Invid Soldier is still an imposing figure as it towers over most humans, its primary opponent during the Third Robotech War.
Encased in its armor is a living Invid being and operates much like any common foot soldier. The Invid Soldier fills combat as well as non-combat roles such as hive maintenance. Invid Soldiers also make their presence known in urban centers, where policing, control and urban enforcement are part of their duties as well.
Armed with two forearm laser cannons, the Invid Soldier is more than capable of engaging in ground combat against human targets and vehicles. The seemingly endless number of units that can be mustered by the Invid make them a force to be reckoned with in any battle.
