Zombot Vulture Fighter is the boss in the Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is battled in Sky City - Ultimate Challenge. It covers only one lane, unlike most of the other bosses in the Chinese version, and can create any Sky City zombie except for Flag Pilot Zombie, Transport Boat and Missile Zombie on the lawn. It can attack with its wings and legs (first and second stage) or with its gun or two electrodes which create an electric current (third stage). As a bonus attack, it can also kill plants in front of it with its beak.

| In English: In wind or rain, lightning or thunder, comes the zombie king of the sky! Dr. Zomboss spent two days overnight researching, using the zombie industry's most cutting-edge bionic mechanical technology, the Zombot Vulture Fighter's release earned much applause, so much that it is heard that a few zombies clapped so hard until their hands dropped off. |
Stages
The Zombot Vulture Fighter is armed with 6 special attacks:
- It will summon zombies depending on the phase.
- During the first two phases, it will use its wings to create a whirlwind, killing all plants and zombies in a row.
- During the first two phases, it will use its legs to take out any 2 plants on land.
- During phase two only, it will use its beak to destroy a plant in front of it.
- During phase 3, it will also use its gun to shoot out tons of bullets in a curve pattern that damages plants very quickly, destroying all plants on the lawn. Plants perfoming their Plant Food ability cannot be destroyed by this attack. Cycloque can block most of the bullets if placed in front of the Zombot.
- During phase 3, it will throw out two electrodes which creates an electric current which covers 3 lanes, slowly moves forward and strikes lightning into all plants in 3 rows. After one electrode is destroyed, the other one will turn itself into a spinning fan that covers 2 lanes which simply blocks damage. Both electrodes can take damage.

Strategies
Planting plants like Wall-nuts wouldn't help much since it would only leave two columns of space to plant other plants, however Infi-nut and its Plant Food effect would protect a whole column without taking up too much space for other plants, and if you add Infi-nut's costume it would make another column of forcefield that you can use to protect flying plants with. Although the downside to this is the forcefield shares damage done from all columns, plus at one point Zombie Fighters are spammed destroying the force field faster.

- It is the only Zombot that drastically changes its appearance between phases, as the entire body drops off after the second phase.
- Before the 1.9.0 update, the boss was unplayable without hacking as it was unfinished. The unfinished form had a few differences with the current version.
- In Phases 1 and 2, its whirlwind attack does not affect anything and its legs can take out plants in a 3x2 area.
- In Phase 3, it only has one attack, which is shooting 5 cannonballs to take out flying plants and damage the ship. The body is destroyed and is bascically a fighter jet.
- It is currently the largest Zombot in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.
- Since it was similar to most ground-based zombots, the fighter jet will not fall out of the sky when it was defeated. It is likely that Dr. Zomboss simply surrunders when his fighter jet goes critical.
- In the 2.2.8 update, invincible plants could not block its bullet attack in the third phase. It was added back in the 2.3.0 update.
