Invaders

==Summary==
The Invaders are the main antagonists of Metal Slug 6. They are a hostile alien race that appears to have arrived on Earth on a meteorite, under whose landing spot they built a huge underground base. Thanks to the Invader King's spawning capabilities, they started to multiply themselves in their nest and cover it in a strange fleshy substance.
Despite their monstrous appearance and seemingly animalistic behavior, they possess several advanced machines, like robots, energy weapons and flying vehicles, which arrived alongside the meteorite or have been built directly on Earth. After finishing the preparations, they attacked the Rebel Army, which at the time made a deal with the Mars People. Apparently the Invaders are predators, judging by how they enjoy feasting on Mars People, and the two races may have known each other from a long time. It took the combined effort of the Regular Army, the Rebel Army and the Mars People to stop the Invaders from conquering the planet.

After all of this, the World Government didn't even notice them), Fire Manipulation (Flying Drones can spit fireballs), Electricity Manipulation (The Brain Robot can generate electricity), Energy Projection (Via energy weapons), Mind Manipulation (Parasites and Controllers can control others by latching their tentacles to the victim's head), Absorption (Parasites can use their tentacles to absorb their victims until only the dress remain), Statistics Amplification (Controllers can enhance the performances of their victims), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2 for vehicles and robots), Cyborgization (They transplanted a brain into a machine to create the Brain Robot), Danmaku (When in large numbers or through some of their machines), Large Size (Type 0; Invader King and Brain Robot), Surface Scaling (Hunter Walkers can crawl on ceilings), Organic Manipulation (Many of them can spit projectiles made of organic matter.

Attack Potency: Street level to Small Building level, possibly Higher (Drones can easily tear apart the flesh of humans and martians and even kill characters such as Marco Rossi with their spinning attacks. They are a serious threat to the Rebel Army, the Mars People and the Regular Army. Overpowered the chinese army and devastated a city, demolishing streets, buildings, sewers and even a large bridge. The crash-landing of a flying shelt can . They can likely take over the most powerful weapons of their enemies by controlling their minds. The Invader King reaches these levels)
Power Source: Unknown for the machines. Most of their troops are living beings, who need to eat in order to stay alive. 
Industrial Capacity: Mostly unknown, since they apparently don't possess factories on Earth, even though they were able to deploy several machines, which may have somehow been built directly on Earth. The Invader King can constantly spawn new Invaders at a quick rate as long as he stays connected to his nest.
Military Prowess: At least thousands. They were a threat to earthling forces such as the Rebel and Regular Army, and managed to overpower the Chinese army and seize its city. They were also able to attack different parts of the planet with a large number of living troops and machines. The Invader King can fill the ranks more and more by spawning new Invaders.

*Drones: The most common breed of Invaders. They have many ways of attacking, like using their sharp teeth and claws to tear the victims apart and eat them. They possess stratchable limbs, which they can use to grab distant preys or launch themselves and bash the enemies with their hard skull. Another common form of attack is to curl and spin like balls, rolling and bouncing around to crush the enemies. They are also able to produce exploding maggots inside their bodies and spit them towards the enemy. Some Drones are particularly full of maggots and will release all of them upon dying. Some Drones are pink and are more durable and strong than the normal ones, as well as possessing more maggots inside.
*Flying Drones: These Drones possess bug-like wings they use to fly and are able to spit fireballs. Their color determines their rank, their durability and the number of fireballs they can release with a single spit.
*Flying Parasites: These little creatures can levitate and control the mind of others by latching their tentacles to the victim's head. The victim will turn purple and become considerably more slow, but some of them were apparently able to drive vehicles and use them for combat. They can be freed only by killing the parasite. Parasites aren't harmless, though, since their tentacles can inflict damage and absorb organic matter from their victims, totally consuming them in seconds.
*Controller: A stronger but rare type of Flying Parasite. It has perfect control of the victim, being able to maneuver them as it pleases, make them use their weapons and enhance their durability. Controllers usually stay at safe distance thanks to their long tentacles. If the victim takes too much damage, the Controller will die.
*Space Mole Cricket: A type of Invader that lives underground, using its forearms to dig and attack. They were likely used to build the underground base of the Invaders. 
*Smasher: A crab-like breed of Invader. It can spin its legs like a helicopter to fly and inflate its body to crush the enemy underneath.
*Hunter Walker: Another breed of Invader, always resembling a crab or a fish. They can walk both on the ground and on ceilings and spit floating bubbles filled with a dangerous liquid.
*Giant Hunter Walker: An oversized Hunter Walker. They are slower than their small coutnerparts, but their hard skin makes them impervious to conventional weapons, leaving the eye as the only weak spot. They can fire a multitude of hovering bombs in the air, which will fall down, covering the area.

*Invader UFO: The main air troops or the Invaders. These flying vehicles are driven by Drones and can fire energy bullets.
*Crab-Tank: A walking robot. It can fire energy projectiles from the cannons on its head or open it to release a bouncing spheres made of a slime-like substance, which can separate in three smaller parts.
*Vanguard: The second type of robot owned by the Invaders. It can fire oval energy bullets from its tentacles and a larger one from its eye.
*Flying Core: A floating weapon that can be used both in the air and underwater. It can use telekinesis to lift and throw surrounding objects, chunks of debris or small meteors.
*Flying Shelt: Massive floating weapons and larger versions of the Flying Cores. Its thick armor makes it impervious to bullets, leaving its hatches as the only damageable spots. It attacks by releasing a volley of small meteors from said hatches, controlled by the same telekinesis used by the Flying Core.
*Brain Robot: A tall robot maneuvered by a brain with eyes housed inside a dome. It can generate electricity and use it to fire projectiles from its claws or from a cannon hidden inside its belly. Said claws can also be used as melee weapons and be powered up by electricity, or replaced by cannons that send electric waves, useful to electrocute wet terrains, such as sewers. The Brain Robot is strong enough to lift cars, small trucks and even buses and drop them on the enemy.
