The Landseek, also known as 3-Ton Truck[1], is a support half-track vehicle from the Rebel Army.
Information[]
The Landseek is a transport vehicle used to carry enemy troops to the battlefield. It also has the capability to transport heavy artillery, such as tanks, anti-aircraft guns, and other armored vehicles. Landseeks have no armament as they are only meant for support.
In the Final Mission of Metal Slug 2/X, a Landseek arrives carrying an SV-001 once the player damages the Rugname enough. If the player doesn't take it in time, the Landseek will retreat along with the SV-001. Hyakutaro is also carried in Metal Slug X only.
The Landseek also appears for the first time as a combat vehicle in version 1.43.0 of Metal Slug Defense. It has 10,500 HP at level 40 and costs 150 AP to deploy. It carries an AA Cannon on its back operated by a Rebel. Its special attack is aiming the AA Cannon upwards making the Landseek one of better Anti-Air units.

Trivia[]
- It is roughly based on the German World War II Sonderkraftfahrzeug (Sd.Kfz. for short) ("special motorized vehicle") half-track family, bearing most resemblance to Sd.Kfz 6, Sd.Kfz. 7, and Sd.Kfz. 11, as can be seen by headlight and radiator grill designs.
- The Landseek's caterpillar track is also used on the Melty Honey and Metal Claw.
- The sprites of the AA Cannon and its bullets that is attached to the Landseek in Metal Slug Defense comes from Gunforce II.
