Statistics

Arcade Stats

• Attribute: Spectral (Lightning Dinosaur)
• Sign: None
• Usage Condition: This Move can only be used after Spectral Armor Maximus has filled his armor bar and gained his Spectral Armor, triggering on the first win after each time the bar is filled.
• Effect: Long, sharp sheaths extend from the armor on Maximus' horns, then Maximus runs forward, rams, and throws the opponent into the air, then charges and shoots a laser beam through them!
• Other: Like all arcade Ultimate Moves, it has no card, nor does it count towards the 3-Move limit. It is exclusively a default function within every Spectral Armor Maximus card.

Anime Stats

• Attribute: Spectral (Lightning Dinosaur)
• Owner: Shear (Space Pirates), D-Team/Alpha Gang (probably) (never used)
• Used By: Maximus
• Used to Defeat: Terry, Paris, Tank
• Debut: The Haunted Hunt
  • Used In: 74, 76-79
• Effect: Jagged crystal masses grow from the armor on Maximus' horns then shatter into long, sharp sheaths. Then Maximus runs forward, rams, and throws the opponent into the air, then charges and shoots a laser beam through them! It can also simply shoot the laser beam at the opponent from a distance.
• Other: Like the other Spectral Moves, it has no actual card, instead being a function of the Spectral Armor activated directly from Shear's summoning device.

Trivia

• It is the only Spectral Move to have both a long-range and short-range aspect to its attack.
• It was the second Spectral Move to be used in the anime.
• Spectral Punisher's two stages are rather similar to Lightning Spear (throwing the opponent) and Lightning Strike (shooting the opponent). Interestingly, the other two Spectral Moves have a similar pattern.
