The Hairbuster Riberts was originally introduced as a Medal/VIP Crank unit. Its special is randomly deploying either a Rebel with a missile launcher, Allen O'Neil with his grenades, or Donald Morden with his bazooka. Its long range is firing a missile from below its body. However, its movement speed is very fast, making it the fastest deployable boss unit in the game. It costs 600 AP to deploy, which makes it tied with the Metal Rear. It costs 400 medals, the same cost as the Hi-Do. The Hairbuster Riberts was introduced in the 1.24.0 update. Unique to this game is that the homing missiles now explode in the middle of the screen with the area of effect applied to the entire floor. It is piloted by Corporal Vasser Gutenschiff (ヴァッサー・グーテンシッフ). The Hairbuster Riberts appears as the second boss. In addition, Morden is replaced by Allen O'Neil, who will use his trademark attacks instead: throwing grenades when the player is below the craft, firing his M60 when the player is at Allen's level, and using his knife when the player gets too close. The battle takes place during a flying segment, which makes dodging the Riberts' attacks somewhat easier, but it also makes returning fire somewhat harder. The Hairbuster Riberts makes an appearance in Metal Slug 3's final mission as the first mini-boss. After the Riberts sustains a high amount of damage, General Morden himself will appear at the cabin, firing rockets from his bazooka constantly. There is a retractable cabin located at its side from which a Rebel soldier will appear in a turret that fires homing missiles. It will also fly to the top-right corner of the screen, where it will drop a large amount of bombs that bounce on the train randomly, making them a little difficult to dodge. The Hairbuster Ribert's main attack method is to launch propelled missiles from the hidden mechanical arm, which have a number of patterns, such as going straightforward or making loops, from the bottom. The flashing light below each lift flash to signify that the respective lift is about to rise up. The flatcars itself have three lifts that individually rise and lower. The players fight the Hairbuster Riberts on train flatcars, with it flying at the same speed as the train. Unfortunately, Morden still escaped, caught in mid-air by a Flying Tara. General Morden attempted to escape from the Regular Army troops in Ronbertburg City on board a Riberts, but it was shot down by the Peregrine Falcons Squad. Over a hundred of these units were produced, all in their testing phase. The Hairbuster Riberts is a prototype heavy bomber created by the Rebel Army and is equipped with several forms of armaments, such as guided missiles and bouncing bombs, making it a versatile weapons platform capable of quickly adjusting to the situation.
