Miscellaneous

This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001 (Neo Geo)/Concept Art.

Early logo designs, from the Official Guidebook. The one second-from-the-left looks closest to the final.
The two beside it have similarities to the logos from In The Hunt and Gunforce.

Storyboards for the game's introductory cutscene.

Animation tests for the player character. Their knife attacks on the left (including a fancy reverse kick and mighty punch) and entering the Slug on the right. Or maybe it's just the artist getting colourful.

An unknown woman shooting rockets...from her boobs...Uhhh okay?

Art of Sophia Greenville in a demon outfit.

Various artwork of different female characters.

• The top-left woman is wearing the same uniform as one Sophia's earlier designs and hasgrenades on her hair.
• The top-right woman has "Metasura" (メタスラ), an abbreviation for Metal Slug, written on her forehead.
• The bottom two have fully painted illustrations and vaguely resemble Eri Kasamoto. Most notably, the bottom-right one, once again shares the same design as one of Sophia's early revisions. The scar and skull earrings are identical.

What appears to be a parody of Mazinger Z drawn in the game's artsyle. At the top right corner, there's text that says "final weapon".

Concept art of Amadeus who does not appear in the game, until the fourth entry.

Concept arts of the Murder.50AE heavy pistol and the AR-10 assault riffle.

Presumably the equipment that the Rebel Fanatics use.

Many of them offer rewards, though some have been captured on purpose to deliver supplies to Marco and Tarma on the field.

• On the left, its a picture of an artificiial heart, presumably for the super bio-soldiers.
• On the right, it's an illustration of a dead super bioboosted soldier. Yuck.

A dead rebel soldier with a bunch of spider-like legs sticking out of him.

An early concept of the mutants from Metal Slug 2 perhaps?

An illustration of Kenji "Andy" Ando, one of the game's programmers.

I have no idea what i'm looking at but it's very creepy.

As when it couldn't get any wierder, here we have the anatomy of a rebel soldier's head.

Oh hey it's that old lady again! But even more scary this time.
