Franklin (フランクリン, Furankurin?) is a humanoid cybernetic creature. He is an enemy in The House of the Dead 2 and 4, appearing exclusively in Caleb Goldman's headquarters.

Appearance[]

In The House of the Dead 2, Franklin is a naked humanoid creature. His skin is completely silvery, being visible some screws. Organic tissues can be seen on the inside of transparent panels that are in his right arm and left leg. He has a dome on his forehead that reveals his brain. Like Lance and Eric, his eyes are noticeably missing.

In The House of the Dead 4, Franklin appears in hordes and bears a more cybernetic physique. Franklin is now a tall, muscular creature. His skin is completely metallic white, being visible on his neck and shoulder various metal wirings. On his forehead, he has a dark dome where his brain is stored. On both arms, there are two large dark panels where there are muscle tissues. In his chest, he has a dark dome emblem that is his weak point. His eyes are completely black, but his iris and pupil are light grey.

History[]

Main series[]

The House of the Dead 2[]

Franklin appears throughout Goldman's headquarters. Behave like Steve. Attacks by swiping. Compared to other cybernetic creatures, he moves at a relatively slow pace.

The House of the Dead 4[]

Appearing once again exclusively in Goldman's headquarters, Franklin can be found in hordes, moving slowly towards the player(s). In this game, he behaves like Mackey, punching the player. His weak point is the emblem on his chest instead of his head.

Gameplay[]

Franklin can appear through walls, but is slow-moving likely due to his experimental nature.[1][excerpt 1] While this makes him less dangerous, he has a tendency of appearing suddenly and ambushing the player.[1][1][excerpt 2]

In The House of the Dead 2, Franklin's movement and attacks are the same as Steve, another creature.

In The House of the Dead 4, Franklin will attack primarily with shoulder-tackle, but sometimes he can also attack with a slap. And on just a few occasions, he can try to grab the player to punch him.
