If the tanks could not be recaptured, then they would have to be destroyed to prevent them from being used by the Rebellion.Īfter various campaigns, the Regular Army defeats the Rebellion forces and reestablishes stability. Their main objectives were to engage the Rebellion and neutralize its leader, General Morden, while reclaiming the Metal Slug tanks to aid them in battles. Fighting alongside him is Second Lieutenant Tarma Roving from the same unit. Seeing the Regular Army panic and crumble, 1st Lieutenant Marco Rossi of the Regular Army Peregrine Falcons special forces unit quickly unites remaining Regular Army units and begins a desperate counter attack to reclaim the tanks he must reclaim them, or destroy them all. The vehicles are then scattered to prevent any ragtag Regular Army troops reclaiming them and using them to launch attacks. Morden just as quickly learns of this fact and attacks the plant, crushing the Resistants and capturing the tanks, putting an end to the counterattack even before it could begin. Shortly after, a group named 'Resistants' are formed by surviving members of the Regular Army and its researchers, who began to covertly convert the Metal Slug tank prototypes into combat-ready status in a hidden factory, hoping to launch a counter-offensive to regain what they had lost to the Rebellion. The announcement certainly did not discourage a band of Regular Army soldiers attempt to salvage whatever they had left. General Morden makes an announcement that all of the major cities around the world will be under his control within 170 hours, also adding that any resistance would be futile. Meanwhile, Regular Army is pushed to near annihilation, with cities that it was supposed to be protecting in ruins. Unfortunately, the same officials decide to save their own skins and announce that it was the intelligence failure that led to such catastrophe, which the personnel serving in the intelligence community did not appreciate whatsoever.

The attacks could have been countered effectively, or even prevented, had the high-ranking officials listened to the Regular Army's intelligence community, which had been warning about all sorts of indications that the Rebellion could attack at any moment in decisive force. With superior numbers and equipment, the Rebellion overwhelms the unsuspecting Regular Army troops easily. In 2028, General Donald Morden launches an all-out, global attack against the Regular Army. It is the first title in the Metal Slug series. The game is widely known for its sense of humor, fluid hand-drawn animation, and fast paced two-player action. It was originally released in 1996 for the MVS arcade platform. Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001 is a run and gun video game for the Neo-Geo console/arcade platform developed by Nazca and published by SNK.
