Minion
Minion is a recurring contestant in the Twisted Metal series, excluding Small Brawl and Head-On. In most games, he serves as a boss and a secret playable character. He is usually a demon that operates a tank (all resembles an APC except for Twisted Metal 4which resembles a BTR). In Twisted Metal: Black, he secretly reveals himself as Marcus Kane, and operates a tanker truck.
Trivia
- Although it is known that Minion won the tournament the year before the original Twisted Metal, it's unknown what he wished for, or why he didn't wish for his revenge on Calypso like he did in Twisted Metal 2 (though his ending there is non-canon.)==
- Twisted Metal 3 is the last appearance the demon that drives Minion made.==
- Relatively speaking, Minion's car is probably the most powerful vehicle in Twisted Metal 2 and Twisted Metal 3, as it carries arguably one of the most powerful "Special" weapons in the game, has a high speed (especially for a tank) and has a remarkable damage resistance.==
- Minion is the only unlockable character in Twisted Metal: Black besides Axel who does not require the player to destroy any kind of grounded control panel to unlock as a playable vehicle. However, considering that to unlock him, you need all of the characters, it could be said that, indirectly, you do have to destroy a grounded control panel at some point.==
- When playing the story mode as Minion in Twisted Metal: Black, it is possible to fight Minion at stage 4 as it would normally happen. However, the size of the enemy Minion is about twice your size.==
- Trapper replaces Minion as the mid-boss of Twisted Metal: Small Brawl. Seeing as the game is targeted for a younger audience, it's pretty obvious why Minion was never considered.
