Metal Slug Wiki

The Formor is the first boss of Metal Slug Advance.

Information[]

The Formor is a Super Vehicle developed by the Rebel Army as their own take for the SV-001. It is twice as big as a regular SV-001, and is painted green. The Formor is also much more agile than the Regular Army's Slugs despite its larger size.

Details[]

Formor's first phase involves firing its main cannon, autocannons and running over the player. In its second phase, after losing half of its health, it will also try to jump on top of the player.

As this tank attempts to run over the player by lifting its front, its bottom exposes a red weak point. Shooting it creates a big explosion dealing extra damage to the tank.

Due to its low health, Formor can easily be beaten by using the Metal Slug or Shotgun acquired earlier in the level. Moreover, the player can also simply use grenades and the handgun. The Black Hound, Armor Piercer, and Crawler cards are also effective and will make short work of this boss. Defeating Formor in a fast time will unlock its card.
