added missing link markup. Commented out entries for tropes we don't have. Developed a strong suspicion that recent edits were cut-n-pasted from somewhere
Line 221:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: A standard for the Regular Army.
* [[Child Soldiers]]: Her age isn't given, but she's certainly young enough that both Marco and Eri are very uncomfortable with actually sending her into a battle, even though circumstances necessitated it.
<!-- * Extendo Boxing Glove: One of her close range attacks is a glove coming from her bag of tools. MOD: Not a trope here. -->
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Takes the battlefield in a far less serious matter than any other soldier.
 
Line 232:
* [[The Fashionista]]: Unlike her fellow teammates who wear standard military attire, she dresses in latest girly fashion trends, with a US-themed tank top and denim short-shorts.
* [[Kick Chick]]: Rita is apparently useless with a firearm but she excels in her physical training. According to Tyra, she could destroy a tank's cannon just by kicking, and that's before she was given special leg armor made by Midori. Not to mention she only uses her left leg in combat.
* [[Remember the New Guy?|Remember the New Girl?]]: She joined the Regular Army around the same time as Roberto, even though Roberto's debut dates back to ''Metal Slug Mobile 4'' in 2008.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Before joining the Peregrine Falcons, Rita was from a rural area of Japan.
 
Line 240:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Although not as low as Veronica's, the zipper ends just below her breasts.
* [[No Sell]]: Her Gunner cannot be damaged while in tank mode.
<!-- * Pile Bunker: Longer than the standard Gunner. Her special attack gives it an explosive effect. MOD: Not a trope here -->
* [[Regenerating Health]]: Recovers part of her health every five seconds.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]!: When her slug is critically damaged, it flashes orange, and Amber will jump out and run away before the slug explodes. However, if the slug is destroyed with a critical hit, Amber will be unable to open the hatch and will be killed as her slug explodes.
Line 250:
A pilot of a prototype Powered Armor developed by the Regular Army's top secret weapon systems program known as the Metal Device Project.
 
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: In a literal sense. At the beginning of her Extra Ops, she finds herself training and cleaning instead of being the hero she wanted to be.
** [[Mundane Utility]]: She ends up using the armor to clean faster, to the amazement of onlookers.
* [[BFG ]]/ [[Gatling Good]]: Wields a gatling gun. While she normally fire regular bullets, summoning a weapon pack allows her to upgrade to armor-piercing attacks.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: When she is killed, parts of the armor will shatter and fall off her body as she falls to the ground. If she dies from a critical hit, her tank top underneath will be ripped, exposing her breasts.
<!-- * Empowered Badass Normal: The description says the suit give its pilot the durability of heavy weaponry by using synthesized muscles created from the analysis of muscle tissue from an archdemon. MOD: Not a trope here -->
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: She's passionate and a determinator. When Marco approached her with her first mission, she can't help but jump on it.
* [[For Great Justice]]: She was chosen from numerous candidates due to her passion for justice and becoming a hero.
 
==== Nikita ====
Line 262:
 
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Does this with a swing of her baton before firing. Her special attack even has a beat before she does this.
* [[The Enemy Weapons Are Better]]: A Regular Army officer who commands a modified Di-Cokka tank that's usually a Rebel Army vehicle.
* [[Expy]]: Her appearance and being in a tank may give the impression of Anchovy from ''Girls und Panzer''.
* [[Just a Kid]]: Sort of a [[Berserk Button]] as she dislikes being treated as such. Practically her motivation to rise up the ranks so she can treated seriously.
Line 286:
The second volunteer of the Metal Device Project. Instead of a conventional weapon, she wields a lightning gun.
 
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Perche. Ami's alternate victory animation and purchasable avatar suggests a more romantic interest to Perche.
* [[Big Eater]]: Downplayed. Her description has her concerned about the increase in appetite after she donned the suit.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Uses variations of the Thunder Shot.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Perche's red.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Attacks with bolts of lightning fired from her lightning gun. Her special is an even larger, red lightning blast.
** Works against her when she is defeated, as her suit will malfunction and electrocute her.
* [[Shy Blue-Haired Girl]]: Possibly black haired. Perche tends to motivate her into acts of bravery

=== Rebel Army ===
==== Abigail ====
Line 309 ⟶ 307:
* [[Panty Shot]]: When killed, Abigail will fall backward and land face-down with her buttocks in the air, her short skirt hiking up to expose her blue panties.
** More obvious if she is killed by a critical hit, as her body will be knocked sprawling and land spread-eagle, her panty-clad crotch facing the screen.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]: Long and way past her shoulders.
* [[Walking Swimsuit Scene]]: Her "Everlasting Summer" variant. She's dressed in a bikini in order to teach her sister how to swim. Her description implies that she hopes Trevor will come to the beach and see her (he does, but for work related reasons).
 
Line 316 ⟶ 314:
 
* [[An Ice Person]]: Her main ability is freezing her opponents with her weapons.
* [[Big Brother Worship|Big Sister Worship]]: Puts her sister Abigail in high regard. Turns into a bit of a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] when Abigail's [[Villainous Crush]] Trevor is either present or brought up.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Despite her appearance, she can be ruthless to anyone except for her sister Abigail. Her close range attack consists of freezing one of her bodyguards and using them as a shield.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: In one of her victory poses (chosen at random), Beatriz will toss a bomb on her servant if he gives her a carrot.
Line 349 ⟶ 347:
A researcher who earned a spot at the top of the Rebel Army's Science division after she helped rebuild Vita.
 
* [[Anime Hair]]: Very spiky and two-toned (pink and green).
* [[Attack Drone]]: The little rotor-equipped things hovering around her are actually ''ammunition'' for her gun.
* [[Combat Medic]]: Heals her teammates with the pink vial while poisoning her opponents with the green one.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard|Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: When defeated, she will choke on her own poison and crumple to the ground, dead. If killed by a critical hit, her body will dissolve into a green substance.
* [[Master Poisoner]]: Her green vial explodes in a poisonous gas.
* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: Navy did not have a great relationship with the Professor when the latter was still part of the Rebel Army.
 
==== Nova ====
A female Future Rebel who is a robotic clone of Vita.
 
* [[Artificial Human]]: A clone of Vita. Nova's appearance is based on Vita before her injuries.
<!-- * Enhanced Punch: Her close range attack is throwing an electrical uppercut. MOD: Not a trope here -->
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Her special is a short beam coming out of her eyes with an explosive effect afterwards.
* [[I Hate Past Me]]: Originally had a vendetta for Vita due to Nova having a militaristic mindset. Nova later softens up once she realizes that Vita separated her memories from combat from fears of not seeing her friends again.
* [[It Was a Gift]]: A war jacket with Rebel decals was made specifically for her.
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Like Vita, Nova will explode when she is defeated.
* [[Roundhouse Kick]]: Her long range attack. It can be applied to her special attack once her proper skill is unlocked.
* [[Thong of Shielding]]: She doesn't wear any pants in her Christmas outfit for some reason, and her black underwear doesn't cover much of her buttocks.
 
==== Shizuka ====
A hired female ninja and personal bodyguard for Abul Abbas. Has a thing for sweets and had connections with Yoshino in the past.
 
* [[Bodyguard Babes]]: Abul's personal female ninja bodyguard.
** [[Bodyguarding a Badass]]: It's debatable how badass Abul is, though his Special variant (which she is paired with) is definitely no slouch.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: If Shizuka is killed with a critical hit, her kimono dress will be torn apart, exposing her breasts and black panties as her body falls to the ground.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: A large flower on her head.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Seen when she lands from a jump, or when she is killed by a critical hit as her kimono is torn open.
* [[The Rival]]: To Yoshino, both once trained in the same village they lived in.
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Her in-game description states that she takes her smartphone out and looks up new sweets online. True to the description, it is shown in her victory animation, with a cupcake in a thought bubble.
 
==== Chloe ====
A Rebel Army transportation officer. She pilots a huge ship called the Nafalgar, which is armed with missiles and a laser cannon into battle.
 
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: A large one under the cockpit.
* [[The Knights Who Say "Squee!"]]: Has a large amount of respect for Rapid and hopes they can be friends one day.
* [[Oh, Crap!]]: When her aircraft is critically damaged, Chloe will start visibly panicking in the cockpit as the ship begins to crash. The ship explodes when it hits the ground, killing Chloe and doing some damage to surrounding enemies.
** Averted if she is defeated with a critical hit; the cockpit will explode just before the ship starts to descend, killing Chloe instantly.
* [[Out of Focus]]: Currently, the only unit who lacks any presence and mention in the Extra Ops and Another Story until she finally showed up in "Christmas Wishes" Extra Ops.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: Her hair is purple.
