The Commanders are an enemy Ptolemaic Army group introduced in Metal Slug 5.

Information

These high ranking officers command Ptolemaic troops and coordinate airstrikes and ambushes. They rarely engage in combat directly, often preferring to retreat once orders are issued.

Whenever a Commander appears, the screen locks and various enemies ambush from all sides. The Commander is invulnerable to player attacks until he starts to retreat.

Multiple Commanders all ambush the Regular Army commandos at once at the burning city in Osaka. They only use their handguns to attack and lack any means for fighting in melee, but will attempt to evade gunfire (they will either jump or duck).

Variants

	Commander: Standard commanders.
	Navy Commander: Commanders from the Navy division. Although functionally the same, they often feud with standard Commanders. Appears in Metal Slug Attack.
	Machine Gun Squad Captain: Commanders wielding Gatling guns. They represent the Rebel Gatling Soldier in Metal Slug: Awakening.
