The cockroach is a game-breakingly exceptional mobility specialised drone. Although he is dominantly a cannon drone, he versatiles in guns and fairly in melee due to tactic. Its abilities are aimed toward tactical advantage rather than statistical worth. Hydel of the Four Generals pilots the roach drone.

The roach is one of the most troublesome enemies because its AI chases after capsules, its resistance to cannon and beam attacks, and Hydel equips his drone with challenging equipment more often. Its speed is the highest in the game, after being augmented by terrain. With defense, the roach becomes a powerful tank possibly better than the bee. Its biggest flaw is that it has low general stats; the roach and locust are generally normal-rank soldier drones. The roach is arguably the best lesser cannon drone in the game, with a dent in accuracy and ability to equip melee slot boosters before the FCS', in exchange for high mobility and great speed, which will allow him to spend less time moving and function in risky places that will later work for the player's favor. It is worth noting that no other versatile drone has a beam weapon as their final melee weapon, and so is dangerous in counter-attacks regardless of its statistical damage. While most versatiles suffer greatly from being versatiles, cannon units are unique in the overbalancing of the game, and the roach's abilities make up for its lower attack power, especially as it levels up.
