The D-001 Tanbal is a Ptolemaic vehicle introduced in Metal Slug Attack.
Information[]
The latest bipedal mech of the Ptolemaic Army, the D-001 Tanbal is a large Unit with a visible cockpit window reminiscent of a LV Armor. The mech requires great skill to control, so its designer put an incredibly difficult exam to potential candidates. Phoebe passed the exam with flying colors and was selected to pilot the mech.
The D-001 Tanbal has two weapons attached as the mech's arms. One arm is a claw rocket, and the other is a rapid Vulcan cannon. The claw rocket can heat up and unleash explosive exhaust on close contact. How the claw rocket is launched depends on the variant.
Variants[]
- D-001 Tanbal: The original. The claw rocket homes onto the closest enemy unit then flies erratically until it slams onto the next nearest enemy unit. The mech can evade attacks and counter back.
- Special D-001 Tanbal: Painted purple. The claw rocket is enlarged then flies towards the nearest enemy unit acting as a moving wall. While Phoebe can regenerate another claw rocket onto the mech, she will not launch it until the original claw rocket is destroyed. The Special D-001 Tanbal's attacks can knock back enemy units.
