The "Scrap Fan" (known as "SCREWA" in the game's files) is an unused piece of machinery found in Metal Slug 7.

Information[]

The only sprites found in the game's tiles are this spinning animation, it dropping something from the back, the object being destroyed, and a can[1], which makes it hard to guess what exactly this is.

Presumably, it was supposed to be part of a larger vehicle. One theory is that the Scrap Fan could be part of an underwater vehicle like a submarine, since there's an unused section of Mission 5 with underwater physics (similar to Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug 5) but with the heroes on foot rather than in scuba gear[2] and a bubble sprite[3]. Two sound effects specifically labeled "Screw" for Mission 5 (St5_Screw_spin and St5_Screw_vacuum) are also present in the files.


Regardless, if the heroes get caught in it, they'll pop out from the other side inside of a bouncing can (seemingly ground apart by the propeller blades). This costs a life although no death yells are heard[4].
