Defender Spaceship is one of the non-playable characters in LEGO Dimensions, from the Midway Arcade franchise.
Background[]
Defender Spaceship flies through space, rescuing innocent, helpless Astronauts, from alien invaders like the Manti Landers and Baiters. It's armed with a laser beam, and 3 powerful Smart Bombs.
Dimension Crisis[]
All Your Bricks Are Belong To Us[]
The Defender Spaceship is first seen on The Defender game fighting the Manti Landers. Its lasers were seen hitting a Baiter, and then a pair of Manti Landers. Throughout this part of the level, it can be seen flying around and blasting more Manti Landers. It was later seen getting hit by a shot from a Manti Lander, causing it to break apart (therefore losing a life) and as a result trapping a Spaceman in the fire, but it respawns as is seen later on in the background. At the end of the Defender stage, when Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle are shielding themselves from being blasted by the Baiter that held a gold token (the Foundation Element of this dimension), the spaceship appears and fires at the Baiter until it successfully hits its target, releasing the foundation element and saving the heroes.
The End is Tri[]
The Spaceship is seen on his world flying past an Astronaut watering his flowers when a Baiter appears and begins to chase it, but is saved by the heroes using a hijacked Manti Lander to blast the Baiter. Batman ask for its help in the fight against Lord Vortech. It does an aerial backflip, which Wyldstyle guessed was space-ship for "how can I help you?" and follows them. It is later seen on Vorton with the others.
The Final Dimension[]
During the fight in the rift loop, it is the second ally to be summoned using the Locate Keystone by the trio to help them distract Lord Vortech by shooting him with its laser beams. When the fight continues on Foundation Prime, the Spaceship is summoned again via a satellite to help the heroes break the foundation baseplate by shooting the bottom right side, causing it to break apart. It was seen being chased afterwards by a group of three Manti Landers.
When the temple starts collapsing, the Spaceship arrives to rescue the trio again and help them escape, but it was knocked down by a punch from a gigantic Lord Vortech. It is unknown if it escaped from Foundation Prime since it isn't on Vorton.
Retro Wreckage[]
In this level, the Spaceship comes to life as one of several arcade game characters that were possessed by Lord Vortech's evil force. When the Gamer Kid enters the room it was in, it was flying in an area that was blocked by a tank. Once it was cleared out, the Spaceship moved to the center of the room and started to fire lasers at the Gamer Kid, but he manages to defeat the Spaceship by driving up a ramp into it (forcing it to land and return to its game), and return the game to normal by playing it.
Attack of the Uber Villains[]
The Spaceship was summoned along with an arcade grid of Defender by the Phase keystone to help fight against King Kong. Once the Spaceship is charged up by reflecting the Sentry Turrets laser at the grid's satellite dish, it will fly up and fire at the TNT crate from B.A. Baracus, causing it to explode and force King Kong back long enough for Batman to shut the window.
