Here, I threw together a few.  They aren't that great

lol

Here's a 16-frame rotation for the captured ship sprite SirCmpwn made. The rotation kicks the corners of the sprite out 1 pixel in each direction, so the resulting rotation occupies a 9x9 space, which might be a little tricky to account for. No single sprite is bigger than 8x8, though, so you could try to deal with it by fitting them all into 8x8 sprites and then displaying some of them shifted 1 pixel in the x and y directions.

Thank you!   I've thought about it for a while, and I know how I can code it.

To clarify my requests, I need this chart filled:
.................: Fighter : Captured Fighter : Bee : Butterfly : Boss (no hits) : Boss (hit once) : Transform1 : Transform2 : Transform3 : Bonus
Stationary 1 :        :                     :       :             :                     :                      :                 :                 :                 :
Stationary 2 : X        : X                     :       :             :                     :                      :                 :                 :                 :
Movement    :        : X                     :      :              :                    :                      :                 :                 :                 :
Movement means all 16 frames.
I need two stationary sprites for each, as they kinda get smaller then bigger when they aren't attacking.
Bonus is Lobsters and the like
No sprite can be bigger than 8*8, but making it like Runer did is fine.

Thanks.   Remember I can't make Galaga without you guys!

By the way, I just sort of chose 16 rotations arbitrarily. It seemed like enough to smoothly rotate small sprites without going too far overboard. If you want less or more (probably 12 or 24), though, just ask and it'll be no problem for me to remake them.

Okay, then I'd like 12 please.  Thanks! 

EDIT 2: I was just watching a video on youtube of Galaga, and I noticed something... The "captured fighter" never rotates, it only rotates when it's being captured or being released, in which case it's colored like the normal fighter. Should I modify my animation to instead rotate SirCmpwn's other ship sprite? Or do you just want to flip his definitions?

Oh, I didn't notice that.  Yes, I'd like it flipped.

After seeing the sprite sheets, I would like 16 frame rotations.   Thanks Runer!

Nice!
