The Bikers are enemies in the Metal Slug series.

Information

The Bikers are high-speed soldiers. They use a motorbike (known as Micka Horn and Thunder Moto) to reach their destination quickly or attack alongside moving vehicles. They are extremely mobile as they tend to appear in high places even in situations where one wonders how a Biker even got there. Bikers have multiple utilities: they carry another soldier, attack by themselves, or attempt to kamikaze opposing soldiers.

In the Rebel Army, the Bikers are known as the Rebel Army Bike Squad.

Variants

Rebel Army

	Sidecar Biker: These Bikers have an attached cart to the bike with a trooper carrying a bazooka. The driver keeps driving, though most of the time he stops, and as he does, the bazooka trooper will fire in the direction of the player. Sometimes, the Biker is driving with a standard Rebel.
	Fanatic Biker: These Bikers are seen doing a wheelie from their bikes. When they approach close to the player, they will jump from the bike trying to crush the player with their thrown bike. Other Bikers attempt to collide at the player with the resulting collision killing them both.
	Missile Biker: These Bikers have a large missile and drive very close to the player. When ready, they'll detonate the missile on their back, killing themselves in the process and launch a large fireball.
	Golden Biker: A Sidecar Biker with their motorbike painted gold so they won't get lost in the battlefield. The Rebel Bazooka fires stronger ammo at longer distances.
	Alesha: A new face in the Bike Squad. She fights with the Elecriblade (a sword with an electric pole) while driving. Alesha is very adept with her motorbike as she's able to quickly dodge attacks and drive in reverse.

Ptolemaic Army

	Special Forces Rider: These Bikers are ridden by PM Special Forces. Their sidecars use rocket turrets instead.
	Custom Bike Rider: Special Forces riding a customized red bike. This bike blocks projectiles when thrown, and the driver of said bike runs back to base to ride another one. Appears in Metal Slug Attack.
	Veronica: A young ace of the army's motorized unit. She drives a personalized bike with a cannon on the bike handles and a gun placed at the very front of her bike.

Regular Army

	Regular Biker: Bikers under the army's Motorcycle Unit; most of them are also members of Tarma's Motorcycle Club. They attack by revving their wheels onto enemies and jumping high to drop multiple Bound Bombs. Found in Metal Slug Attack.
	Biker Spirit Tarma: Tarma riding his favorite bike using the best techniques known by the Regular Army. Alongside revving his front wheels, he also attacks with a Big Shotgun on hand.

Trivia

• The Rebels operating the motorbikes have a different skin and suit color that is slightly darker, possibly wearing a uniform for motor riders. This isn't the case for the riders in X and 4 where the rider in question is that of a standard Rebel in a normal uniform.
• The Micka Horn and Thunder Moto are based on Harley-Davidson WLA750 and BMW R75 military bikes.
