Details
In Metal Slug Attack's event, this boss is fought at the last stage. The boss will attack the player's units with its cannon via coupled battery, its attacks are ordered by a Rebel Infantry which can be seen on the top of the boss.
The special attack of the boss will also fire 2 yet slow-moving cannon shots with its frontal battery (4 with 
4). The projectiles combine together to form a bigger one before it collides on the ground to create a bigger explosion.
In-battle as a playable unit, once the first caboose has accumulated sufficient damage, the front car will perform a Metal Slug Attack-styled suicide attack charge. This however only happens when 3 is unlocked. The long range attack will also be modified in order to adjust for the remaining cars, however the special attack still remains the same.
