Raiden (Red)

Raiden is a series of protagonist ships in Raiden series. It is also manufactured by World Alliance Military.

Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter
Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter is the original fighter in the first Raiden game. It is made in 2090 before being replaced in 2092 by both Raiden mk-II and Raiden mk-IIβ. It is capable of using the Vulcan and Laser, but lacks the Lock-on Plasma Beam and Proton Laser. It uses both the homing and nuclear missiles.

Raiden Mk. II
'''Raiden Mk. II''' is the protagonist ship of the popular Raiden series. First appearing as the P1 ship in Raiden II, Raiden Mk. II had many appearances in the Raiden sequels as well.

Raiden Mk. II is known as the one that carries the Lock-On plasma, Homing Missiles, and the traditional Raiden bomb (in Raiden Fighters), although in Raiden X, it changes color when obtaining a different firepower. The Raiden Mk. II, along with the Raiden Mk. IIβ, makes cameo appearances in DemonStar as playable ships and reprise their description from Raiden II, with very few changes.

Raiden Mk. II returns in the PS2 revival of the Raiden series, Raiden III, when it was last seen in Raiden DX, the same firepower, but a little more detailed than it's retro depictions. It has also appeared in Raiden IV will return in Raiden V.

The Raiden Mk. II along with a few other Raiden fighters like Judge Spear, make cameos as playable ships in a game known as Xeno Fighters EX, and it's remake, Xeno Fighters EX-R, created by JudgeSpear, the same creator of Mushroom Kingdom Fusion.

Raiden Mk. IIβ
'''Raiden Mk. IIβ''' is the counterpart of the protagonist ship Raiden Mk. II as the 2nd ship. Like its counterpart, it debuted in Raiden II.

In the original Raiden games, the Raiden mk-IIβ is simply a clone of its red counterpart, and can use the same weapons. In Raiden DX, the Raiden mk-IIβ (Player 2) side starts with a stock of Cluster Bombs, as opposed to the Raiden mk-II starting with the Thermonuclear Bombs.

In Raiden Fighters 2 and Raiden Fighters Jet, it moves faster than the Raiden mk-II, and has the spread Vulcan with Nuclear Missiles. It uses the Cluster Bomb as its bomber attack. However, this ship has different capabilities and bomber than the Raiden Mk. II.

Raiden Mk. IIβ returns with it's red cousin in the revival of the main series, Raiden III, a little more detailed than the classic depictions.
