==Summary==

|-|SV-001=
The Super Vehicle-001, often abbreviated in SV-001 or nicknamed Metal Slug, is a secret experimental, all-purpose tank developed by the Regular Army. during the coup d'etat of the Rebel Army, one of the governmental factories was destroyed and the vehicles exposed. Marco and Tarma's mission during the first war was, aside for taking out the rebels, to return or destroy the stolen tanks. The two of them made good use of the SV-001 during the campaign and it was a valid ally during the battles. Its efficiency made so that it was deployed again during the next wars and it quickly became one of the most trusted vehicles of the Regular Army.
The SV-001 is lighter and less armored than other tanks, but compensates with a surprising agility and mobility, which allows it to be more maneuverable than the standard tank and even to perform jumps in the air.
An advanced version was developed, the SV-001 Type-R, colored in gold, faster and more agile, but for some reason it didn't replace the previous one.
|-|Slug Gunner=
After 3 years of additional research on the SV-001, the Regular Army developed the Slug Gunner. Designed as the evolution of the original Super Vehicle fused with the experimental Protogunner, this machine mixes the properties of a tank and of a mech suit. The Slug Gunner's peculiarity is its ability to change form between a bipedal and a tank one, making it adapabtable to different situations. It was first used in the war against the Ptolemaic Army.
|-|Formor=
The Formor is a tank developed by the Rebel Army on the basis of the SV-001. They managed to create a vehicle that maintains the same properties of the original, but with increased size, speed and durability. For unknown reasons only one unit was produced, and it was destroyed when the rebels invaded the training island of the Regular Army.
|-|Black Hound=
The Black Hound is an experimental, self-driven tank created by the Ptolemaic Army using the data they stole from a research lab of the Regular Army. Tinted in black and with a naughty smile on, the Black Hound is an improvement of the SV-001, with even more weapons and a stronger armor, at the cost of its overall agility. It was designed to act on its own and was sent as support when they raided the ruins known as "Corridor of Fire". Unfortunately for them, the AI of the Black Hound was defective and the tank went rogue, murdering enemies and allies alike until the protagonists destroyed it. 
|-|Metal Rear=
The Metal Rear is a huge tank developed by the Ptolemaic Army using the same stolen data they used for the Black Hound. It was also deployed at the same time and managed to fight off the troops of the Regular Army sent to investigate the Corridor of Fire. This giant machine has the unique feature of moving nimbly and jump just like the original SV-001, but it possesses an increased firepower and durability at the same time.

Notable Attacks/Techniques and Weaponry: 
<tabber>
|-|SV-001/Type-R=
*Gatlings: The SV-001 is armed with a pair of gatling guns on both sides, which can be maneuvered to shoot in different directions and even backwards. 
*Cannon: The second main weapon of the SV-001 is its frontal cannon, which fires explosive shells. It can be upgraded with the Armor Piercer, which makes its shells more effective against vehicles and armored enemies.
*Hypermobility: Its lightness allows it to jump up and forward to dodge, move around and crush the opponents.
*Metal Slug Attack: A suicide attack performed by ramming the SV-001 at high speed towards the enemy and then self-destruct. The drivers generally are skilled enough to jump out of it after activating the attack.
*Grenades: More like a possibility than a proper attack. The entry hatch of SV-001 can be opened and the driver can toss out grenades and other explosives while remaining inside the vehicle.
*Stealth: An upgrade which makes the SV-001 invisible. It doesn't have a time limit, but the SV-001 can't attack while this mode is on.
*Marsnium: An upgrade that makes the SV-001 invulnerable, at the cost of slowly losing health.
|-|Slug Gunner=
*Inherited Weapons: As the evolution of the SV-001, the Slug Gunner possesses the same weapons, but only a single machine gun. It can also perform the Metal Slug Attack as well.
*Pile Bunker: One of the machine guns is replaced by a pile bunker placed in the right arm. This is used for melee combat and uses a revolver-like mechanism to empower its blows. 
*Rocket Boosters: The Slug Gunner comes equipped with a pair of rocket boosters on its back, which grant it an additional jump.
*Form change: The Slug Gunner possesses two different forms and can freely switch between them. The first is the bipedal form, in which it walks on its legs and can attack with the weapons placed on its arms. The second is the tank form, which makes it very similar to the SV-001, given that it crouches, changes form and moves by using its tracks, while the weapons are still available, save for the pile bunker.
Form Change
|-|Formor=
*Inherited Weapons: As an improved version of the SV-001, the Formor possesses the same weapons, but its cannon shells are now covered in flames. It doesn't seem to have the self-destruction system.
*Hypermobility: Due to being more agile than the SV-001, the Formor can perform higher and longer jumps to move around the battlefield and crush the enemies underneath. It can also perform wheelies for the same purpose.
|-|Black Hound=
*Inherited Weapons: As a more advanced version of the SV-001, the Black Hound possesses the same type of machine guns and cannon, but apparently not the self-destruction system.
*Mortar: An additional weapon mounted on the back. This mortar can fire up to three rockets at a time in an arc motion.
*Laser Gun: The head of the Black Hound can open like a hatch and reveal a mechanical arm with a gun attached to it. Said gun can fire an energy beam that goes straight.
*Charge: A simple charge performed by dashing at full-speed to ram over the enemy.
|-|Metal Rear=
*Inherited Weapons: As a gigantic version of the SV-001, it possesses the same machine guns and cannon, with the latter being able to shoot explosive fireballs. It doesn't seem to possess the self-destruction system.
*Hypermobility: Despite its size, the Metal Rear has the same jumping capabilities of the SV-001. Therefore, it can leap in the air to move around the battlefield and crush the enemies underneath. It can also perform wheelies for the same purpose.
