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.
