The Gigantnoid is a Regular Army vehicle introduced in Metal Slug Attack. It first made its debut in the game's event titled "Search & Destroy 1st", where the boss can also become a playable unit.
Information[]
"This was a special aircraft that was being developed to explore the surface of extraterrestrial planets but was suddenly decided to be used in conventional combat as well. Capable of controlling many small probes by itself, it excels at detecting and destroying enemy bases"
- ~Metal Slug Attack in-game description.
Details[]
The Gigantnoid is a large variant of the Slugnoid with additional capabilities. Its four legs are used to jump, dodge, and kick any nearby units. The Double Arm Cannons fire at the closest enemy and, unlike the Slugnoid, are not lost when damage is taken. The Gigantnoid's main bomb is a Gigant Lizard that opens its hatch to spew out a copious amount of Iron Lizards. The Gigant Lizard also acts as a barricade and explodes when its health is depleted.
Once the Gigantnoid sustains enough damage, the cockpit detaches from the machine and escapes. It flies over the enemy lines and drops fat Iron Lizards at them.
The Gigantoid Type-B uses a different assortment of attacks. The cannons are replaced with Air Cannons that both propel the vehicle and damage enemy units. When airborne, it drops drill-like missiles that stick to the ground before exploding. When at critical health, the cockpit escapes while healing their allies on the way to the player's base.
Both vehicles have the ability to temporary lock deployment of enemies they eliminate.
