Shadow

A resin model representing Shadow.

Shadow was originally used as a security guard by the Shan-Meeg Starhawks DreadBall team to protect them from rival fans who were furious with their dubious tactics on the pitch. Similar to the Asterian Spectra but significantly smaller, Shadow’s armour allowed them to take the punches and knocks, as the angry crowds lobbed empty DreadMax cans at the Starhawks’ tour shuttle. Shadow was eventually gifted to the OverDrive circuit – and given a brighter, more eye-catching paintjob – when the Starhawks upgraded their tour shuttle to a fully-equipped Chroma gunship, which helps keep the crowds at bay more effectively.
