Cabracan (alternatively spelt Cabrakan in Metal Slug Defense and Metal Slug Attack) is the final boss in Metal Slug Advance.
Information
The Cabracan is a powerful weapon developed by Rebel Army capable of producing earthquakes to destroy targets.
Details
The Cabracan's only weak spot is the red core on the front. At first, it will raise a barrier around the core and send two Cabracan Pods to attack the player. The second drone destroyed the player will drop a Heavy Machine Gun. After the pods are destroyed, the barrier will deactivate, then the boss will fire a series of energy projectiles, followed by a giant laser, making all platforms fall. The boss will move down and begin firing small lasers that bounce off the wall, once it has flames all over. It will send more Cabracan Pods and gains a new attack where it fires lasers in a circle, requiring the player to stand directly underneath the boss.
Having Black Hound, Hyper Cannon, Hyper Vulcan, Thruster+, L.5 Armor and A.P. cards activated will provide short work of this boss.
In Other Games

Variants

Cabracan: The original Rebel Army's secret weapon. |

Cabrakan MK II: An upgraded version of the Cabrakan built by the Rebel Army. Unlike its predecessor, the MK II's pods are upgraded to shoot more lasers, and it attempts to track the nearest enemy. Appears in Metal Slug Attack. |
| Cabrakan MK III: Another variant of the Cabrakan. It acts much like its MK II variant, except MK III's pods erratically wander around and automatically destruct after a set period of time or touch an enemy rather than firing on them. Appears in Metal Slug Attack. | |

Frozen Cabrakan: An ice-inspired variant of the Cabrakan which Dolores calls into battle while helping Beatriz. It is filled with a massive amount of cold air which it forms into a tornado to freeze everything caught in it. Appears in Metal Slug Attack. |
| Golden Cabrakan: An golden variant of the Cabrakan. It manned an amount of golden pods with self-destructed ability to attack enemies, and it nears to enemies to shoot explosive energy from its huge red core. Appears in Metal Slug Attack. |
