The Rebel Gigant is the sixth boss from Metal Slug 7 and Metal Slug XX.
Information[]
A huge mech which was developed by the Future Rebel Army and brought into present day. It was specifically designed to be controlled by Allen O'Neil. Despite of its huge body and very tough armor it possesses great agility. It is also equipped with various weaponry such as homing missiles and floating mines.
Details[]
The Rebel Gigant's attacks consist of launching homing missiles from the shoulder-mounted launcher, firing cannon rounds from its arm cannon, deploying several floating mines from its waist, and jumping off screen and sliding into the player's Slug Gigant. It is fortunate that death here allows another Slug Gigant to be employed after respawning (the Slug Gigant's destruction kills the player), as the Rebel Gigant would easily defeat the player otherwise. However, it is possible to fight and defeat this boss on-foot using nothing but a pistol through a War Room mission.
Variants[]
| Ptolemaic Army | |
| Ver. PM:: It has been somehow improved over its Rebel counterparts. As its standard attack, it expels out 10 floating mines from its mine launcher, these mines will detonate when an enemy unit touches it or the set time has passed. Its special attack is an enhanced version of the original Rebel Gigant, where it crouches before charging forward dealing massive damage against anything it hits. | |
| Golden: The golden version whose floating mines from its mine launcher explode into burning fire when an enemy unit touches it or the set time has passed. Its special attack burns the ground by scraping with its giant feet, and also makes a red shockwave attack. | |
| Emerald: An emerald version whose floating mines simply explode on contact. Its special attack launches green shockwaves that act as temporary "walls" and damages anything that makes contact with them. | |

Trivia[]
- The battle with Rebel Gigant marks the only time where Allen is not wielding his M60, and has his hands on his hips.
- Though after he is defeated, he can be seen firing it in defeat.
- This is also the second time where Allen appears as a boss rather than this usual mid-boss status.
- The Rebel Gigant is one of the few bosses in the series to remain intact after being defeated.
