The Amadeus Infantry are the military branch of the Amadeus Syndicate. First seen as the main enemies of Metal Slug 4 acting as an elite and supplementary force of the Rebel Army.

Information

The Amadeus Infantry are elite mercenaries paid by the Doctor to protect the interests of the rogue syndicate. It has been implied that some of them are skilled Rebels lent to the organization. They make use of advanced weaponry such as chemical warfare shells, stolen AR-10s and further improved versions of the Rebel Army's vehicles. Some of them are cyborgs created by the syndicate scientists operated by artificial intelligences.

Appearances

Metal Slug 4

The first main appearance in the series. Here they are seen helping and coordinating the Rebels in attempting another coup d'etat with new advanced technologies after the events of Metal Slug 6. Most types of troops appear in the game's final mission.

Metal Slug Attack

After the events of Metal Slug 4 the organization has gone into hiding and most of its forces are now focused on guarding facilities where illegal experiments occur and pursuing the Doctor's interests. They are still affiliated with the Rebel Army, offering and receiving support from time to time, although focusing more on advanced world-changing research than military applications.

In this game, the Amadeus Infantry wear violet uniforms to better contrast with the Regular Infantry's blue uniforms.

Metal Slug Infinity

The Amadeus Infantry is an individual unit as well as summoned units by the Doctor. All of them are part of the Rebel Army. They fire from their AR-10s and throw grenades. The Amadeus infantry retain their blue uniforms; the Regular Infantry has a new sprite because of this.

Types of Infantry

Common Troops

	Amadeus Grenadier: Same as the Rebel soldiers.
	Amadeus Rolling Bomb: They throw rolling bombs towards the player just like it's Rebel counterpart.
	Amadeus Rocket Bomb Soldier: They throw handheld exactly like the Rebels. In Metal Slug Attack, they can throw up to five rockets that are able to block enemy projectiles.
	Amadeus Corporal: Armed with a 7.62mm AR-10 Autorifle, they are the elite legion of the Amadeus Syndicate. Some of them have the honor to serve as personal guards of the Doctor and keep their original navy blue color. They are very dangerous in comparison to other infantry. In Metal Slug Attack, they are capable of shooting for longer periods of time.
	Amadeus Rifleman: Rifleman soldier in purple uniform which exclusively appears in Metal Slug Attack. They can rapid-fire while crouching, and their projectiles travel at a very long range.
	Amadeus Shielded Soldier: Shielded soldiers with a high chance of knocking back the enemy. Elite units can also shoot with pistols from behind the shield.
	Amadeus Mortar: Mortar soldier in purple uniform which exclusively appears in Metal Slug Attack. They shoot chemical shells able to poison enemies.
	Amadeus Soldier (Bazooka): Bazooka soldiers in purple uniform which exclusively appears in Metal Slug Attack. Soldiers on board of the Brave Guerrier are similar to the Rebel Bazooka but spawn in groups. Those on foot fire larger shots that have unlimited range. Paratroopers can also be deployed via air, using their bazookas to rapid-fire at nearby enemies. Golden variants are also accompanied by parachuted bombs to protect them from most attacks.
	Hazmat Soldiers: Amadeus Infantry invading the Haunted House attractions. Yellow Hazmat Soldiers patrol the zombie attraction and throw grenades. Green Hazmat Soldiers patrol the Egyptian attraction and toss bowling ball grenades that spawn mummies. Hazmat soldiers have higher body protection. Golden variants are exclusive to Metal Slug Attack and toss bowling ball grenades that spawn golden Man Eaters.

Mechanical Troops (Robots)

	Morden Robot: A robotic look-alike of Donald Morden, who fires a bazooka. When they take damage, they become visually degraded and have a self-destruct protocol. A golden variant appears in Metal Slug Attack that possesses greater durability.
	Mecha Allen: A robotic look-alike of Allen O'Neil, who acts similarly to the original but is more resilient.
	Cyborg Soldier: A robotic look-alike of standard Amadeus Infantry, its design being influenced by the Rebels' Special Forces infantry. They attack with a combat knife and are capable of moving quickly to perform "phantom" attacks with their knife. First appear in Metal Slug Attack.
