The Slug Attacker is a Regular Army vehicle introduced in Metal Slug Attack.
Information[]
The Slug Attacker is a modified Slug Gunner with self-repair capabilities. Being a Slug Gunner variant, it can switch between its attacking bipedal state (Human Mode) or a more defensive treaded state (Tank Mode) depending on the proximity of the enemy. The Slug Attacker has only one weapon, a long pile driver that can create explosive impacts on its tip.
In its tank form, the arm holding the pile driver rests in front of the windshield to shield itself from enemy attacks. The Slug Attacker's human form can also attempt to deflect attacks by lifting its shielded arm up.

Slug Attackers: A dark-gray, mass-produced variant with a large hammer reminiscent of the DX5005 on top of the Slug. It drives in its tank form and attacks by swinging its hammer downwards. The Slug Attackers' controls have been simplified so female Regular Army soldiers can pilot it with a certain amount of training. |
