Vic Viper

The Vic Viper, even with its capabilities and appearance, is not actually an Orbital Frame. It is an extremely powerful and experimental LEV. Possessing the capability between flight and humanoid modes, the Vic Viper is an extremely advanced craft capable of matching the more powerful frames in combat. There were originally 2 Vic Vipers. The second example, piloted by Rock Thunderheart, was defeated in battle.

The Vic Viper is modeled after the ship from the Gradius series. With the exception of the Gauntlet sub-weapon, all of the Vic Viper’s flight mode arsenal are power-ups used by ships in the Gradius series. Examples include Missiles, Lasers and Ripple beams.

In "The 2nd Runner", Leo Stenbuck pilots a Vic Viper.
