An interview with the game-makers, which is unlockable in Metal Slug Anthology, reveals that the only thing that keeps Allen alive besides his muscles and guts is his devotion and will to return home to his wife and son after a hard day of fighting.Īllen aids the player aboard the Mothership in MS3 (unless the Metal Slug employed earlier is still surviving and in current use), laughing all the while. Despite the fact that Allen clearly meets his end at the conclusion of every encounter, usually in a gruesome manner and on one occasion being devoured by an enormous Orca, the game makers have humorously brought him back in each new iteration of the series. Upon defeat he always utters 'See you in Hell!' He uses an M60 machine gun, a knife, and blue grenades that erupt in an angry red flame upon detonation. He taunts the player with the phrases 'C'mon, boy', 'Go home to mommy', and 'you're mincemeat' (or minced meat), as well as maniacal laughter. During the Regular Army's operation in the Käthehirt Valley to destroy Rebellion motor pool, he singlehandedly slaughtered the incoming Regular Army troops as they climbed up the mountain. Allen is General Morden's most trusted soldier.
