Description The Psycho King is the Syndicate's latest and deadliest weapon made so far that is based off the model of the Rebel Army's Jupiter King. But the Psycho King beats the average Jupiter King in almost any way imaginable from size to firepower to speed to intelligence. Its simple Amadeus engineering
Its right arm fires a ginormous, annihilating red hot laser ray and the left arm has a plasma heated serrated edge buzz saw designed to not only brutalize incredibly thick armor but also intimidate its enemies. After all, its adaptive AI computer uses psychological tactics to provoke intense fear in rapid succession. For example it may continue to mutilate an already dead enemy to cause extreme psychological trauma to any observers, and attempt to use an unpredictable (schizophrenic like) fighting style as well as chase its enemies down at violent speeds that shred the earth underneath into rubbles with its treads. Some of the Amadeus scientists claim that they even programmed the Psycho King to have a bit of aggression and a sadistic personality.
As for the other weapons all around this mobile fortress, there is a missile turret near the treads as well as tri-miniguns, an energy gatling gun in the left eye, chemical grenade mortars on the shoulders, and triple barreled MIRV  rocket batteries on the back of the neck near the head






Btw this is my first ever Metal Slug sprite creation and it took quite longer than I expected. I was quite impressed by the Metal Slug community's unit designs so I thought I'd try it out myself. I look forward in doing more Metal Slug Attack fan art in the future

So I always wondered how the Amadeus Syndicate's Jupiter King would look like since the Rebel Army and the Ptolemaic Military have their versions of this 30 foot tall highly destructive laser robot that would freak the hell out of anyone. I'm not a fan of using pallet swaps so my goal was to make a more brutal looking Jupiter King that embodies the Amadeus Syndicate's theme of computerized and advanced as well as eerie and nightmare fueled. 

Btw remember in Metal Slug 4 when you sneak into a cargo boat thats invaded with Amadeus mercenary pirates? Yeah there were also Amadeus Di-Cokkas as well (in Metal Slug Attack they are known as Di-Cokka (Amadeus)). I always wondered why they had the Rebel Army X logo on them. Same thing with the Amadeus Sarubia. I am aware that the Amadeus do have a corporate partnership interest with the Rebels but I believe that fact only explains the lore further more. So my theory is that the Amadeus Syndicate has actually designed the Di-Cokka (as well as many many other Rebel army vehicles (especially the highly advanced ones like the ACE) and the versions the Amadeus uses are actually factory fresh Di-Cokkas/Sarubias that were not applied any paint coating yet (which is also why they are grey)

Heh I was playing Evil Within 2 the other day and it reminds me of this one creepy monster with a bunch of random body parts stitched together with barb wire and a giant buzzsaw on one of its arms the size of the hulk that laughs as it shreds you to bits. The Amadeus Syndicate for me always has that theme of being nightmare fueled as well as something out of Akira

I love the robot and I really love the tiny scientists and soldiers around him. They really sell the size of the mammoth machines. Great work!

"A weapon to surpass Metal Slug..."

lol I think the Psycho King would swallow up Dva's mech

Though there are some Metal Slug characters that are somewhat similar to Dva such as Molly

I checked out Molly. You're correct. But she is older than D.Va, isn't she?

Cyborg-Samurai In reply to FunkonPunch [2019-05-13 04:15:19 +0000 UTC]

yeah since Dva is the youngest in the OW roster. There is also Midori, the Regular Army's armor expert and engineer, who is probably the same age as Dva who sometimes pilots mechs.

Does Midori use any ability similiar to D.Va? Like Self-Destruct?

Cyborg-Samurai In reply to FunkonPunch [2019-05-13 04:50:17 +0000 UTC]

I mean she does call in a mech that has machine guns and rockets, great engineer and pilot, and has a handgun (though she uses a pistol grenade launcher)

FunkonPunch In reply to Cyborg-Samurai [2019-05-13 04:54:48 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, Midori uses pistol-type grenade launcher when D.Va uses light gun. I see.

By the way uhm... a friend of mine did something for my birthday two months ago. Here is the deviation: www.deviantart.com/gir1010/art…
