What the fuck was up with the Invaders from Armageddon?
At times they were shown to be impervious to physical damage, and would just shapeshift after getting hit
At other times they were shown to be defeatable with a sound beating/slicing
Sometimes it was shown that getter rays didn't have much effect on them like in the first few eps
Sometimes they displayed the ability to separate small enough to penetrate air tight armor
Why were they so goddamned inconsistent?
The Invaders are at different stages of evolution. The most evolved can absorb quite a lot of Getter Rays, but can still be overloaded (that's what Getter does to defeat them, mostly). Imagine they're moths around a flame. They thrive around the flame (Getter Rays), but getting too near will burn them.

Still doesn't explain the inconsistency of their ability to take physical damage.
Even the scrawny ones had the ability to change into goop.
Heck, their natural form was shapeless goop.

moths do not subsist/are empowered by fire

Are you a moth?

Are [YOU] a moth?

The inconsistency probably had to do with Imagawa leaving the project early on.

For what purpose?

Some are overwhelmed more easily than the others. Invaders were another race chosen by Getter but it corrupted them. Just like any race/species, each one has a different kind of constitution. It's not like they ever devolved to cannon fodder tier where they could get taken out by regular humans with ease. Using blunt force was usually more to debilitate them while beams were used to incinerate.
