To reach this objective they have often tried to weaken Earth's military forces through various schemes. Their main goal is to conquer the Earth and subjugate humanity in order to save the planet from being depleted of its resources. Led by the giant Rootmars, they are extremely intelligent beings and mainly communicate through telepathy, even though it was shown they are able to speak. The Martians are the most recurrent alien enemy of the Metal Slug series. Regular Army and Rebel Army ( Metal Slug 6) The Spriters Resource.Regular Army and Rebel Army ( Metal Slug 2 & Metal Slug 3) The Emerald Turtle's color scheme is a reference to Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.The Stone Turtle's underside is reused from Dai-Manji.Its form resembles the AT-AT from Star Wars.This references to the Hindu belief of a cosmic turtle carrying four elephants on its shell, which in turn carry the Earth on their heads. In the released official concept art of the Stone Turtle from Metal Slug Attack's pre-register event, the Stone Turtle was used as a base for the Gaia Elephant which can be seen in-game in the background at the very beginning of Mission 5.Though not nearly as strong as its golden variant, the Rosetta Stones it summons can take much more punishment. Sapphire Turtle: A blue colored variant of the Stone Turtle. ![]() It can also summon Rosetta Stones for both offensive and defensive purposes. Golden Turtle: A golden colored variant of the Stone Turtle, possessing even more durability compared to its other variants. Original: The original version of the Stone Turtle.Įmerald Turtle: An emerald colored variant of the original Stone Turtle that has better attacks, and more Armor. It has all the same attacks as well in its MSD counterpart. Just like in MSD, its normal size has been reduced as well due to its huge size. It uses the Hi-Do missiles inside its shell as its special attack. It mostly serves as a damage sponge, having 60,000 HP at level 40, slowly moving towards the enemy base and attacking by stomping on enemies. The normal size has been reduced because the unit was too large for the screen. During development, this unit was named "The biggest unit" before being renaming it to the Stone Turtle in the release update. The Stone Turtle appears as part of the 1.22.0 update, with a description explaining why the weapon didn't show up in Metal Slug 5. It appears in game with a variant of colors. This suggests the player characters would use the beam to go inside the Stone Turtle after defeating it and climb their way up to the Mammoth Tower. This beam has a sprite setup, similar to the tractor beams seen in cutscenes from Metal Slug 2/ X and Metal Slug 3, where the background is also part of the laser sprite unlike the weapon laser beams which are opaque. The underbelly opens up to reveal a laser beam. The head is able to retract from its shell. It can lift their feet and move around the arena. It may have been another mini-boss in the Final Mission of Metal Slug 5 as one of the unused areas, the end part of the playable flaming city section, is called "Turtle Boss", and its laser beam (more below) has background sprites from that level.Īccording to the game's sprites, the Stone Turtle has a built-in rocket launcher (similar to the Hi-Do) inside of its shell. The Stone Turtle is an unused enemy vehicle. Another quadruped mecha was also developed by Caroline in reference to the Stone Turtle. A frog-like mecha was also discovered alongside the Stone Turtle, which was customized by Caroline and Towa. In Metal Slug Attack, the Ptolemaic Army managed to excavate the Stone Turtle after the war and would continue to develop it as such. The Stone Turtle could attack by squishing enemies with its massive feet and launching missiles from side launchers. Though it would have changed the war, the Ptolemaic Army was defeated before they could even be used in battle. Due to its gigantic size, it took them a large amount of time to excavate the weapon. ![]() This gigantic unit was an ancient weapon that was discovered by Ptolemaic Army.
