The '''Reactor''' (originally called '''Halberds Reactor''') is the core power source of the [[Halberd]]. Without it operational, the ship will not be able to power its engines, so it is equipped with its own automatic defenses. It appears as a [[boss]] in the [[Revenge of Meta Knight]] stage of ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', and as a [[mid-boss]] at the end of the Battleship Halberd level of ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]''. In each iteration, it's a large, stationary machine with one or more cannons attached, holding a gem (which is presumed to be its power source). It's unique in the fact the reactor itself cannot be damaged by Kirby, but only by the lasers it shoots to attack. | The '''Reactor''' (originally called '''Halberds Reactor''') is the core power source of the [[Halberd]].

Little was changed between the two versions, though this reactor has had a slight redesign. There are now 5 spikes on both the top and bottom compartment of the machine, all of which are adorned with small, blue balls. The gem now radiates in multiple col{{o}}rs as well. The box under the floor are more visible and the background shows more mechanisms between the Wheelie-batteries | Little was changed between the two versions, though this reactor has had a slight redesign.
