Those fiends from beneath the earth’s surface will strengthen their ranks of oppression in Monsterpocalypse: Big in Japan. In this Monster Insider installment, we’ll take an up-close look at the new units and monsters from the Subterran Uprising.

Dark Development

From the rooftop of his apartment building, photographer Timothy Mooze was snapping the peaceful cityscape. Just as he focused on a flock of birds flying over a beautiful cathedral, the sky suddenly darkened. Timothy looked up to see a black cloud looming over the city, slowly increasing in size. Despite the chills of fear he felt, Timothy repositioned himself to capture the growing darkness over the city.

Clamps!

At a loud rumbling, Timothy directed his camera lens to the city streets below just as a massive drill broke through the pavement. The drill was only a part of a humongous subterran monster with metal-teethed clampers for hands. As the horrific monster rose from the crumbled earth, its grinding metal lower body chewed up several vehicles in the street and destroyed a nearby apartment building.

That’s a big gun!

Heart racing, Timothy followed the advancing horror with his camera. Suddenly he noticed a second subterran monster with two heads. This abomination of flesh and metal raised its mechanized cannon arm and shot a powerful blast directly into a distant office building. It immediately advanced, then fired off another blast, hitting the apartment building next to him. The frightened photographer grabbed his cell phone as another blast from the monster took down two buildings at once.

Blastik-Rukivall is the Subterran Uprising’s energy-cycling, long-range blasting monster. Blitz in his alpha form allows him to blast two different targets, and Demolish in his ultra form makes standing close to buildings a very bad idea for opponents.

No! Tanks!

As Timothy tried to dial the number from his UCI Rescue Coupon with shaking fingers, another blast came from below. Peeking over the side of the roof again, he saw several huge tank-like drill vehicles in the shadow of the cannon-armed behemoth. Yellow beams of light began to emit from a number of these as they brought even more destruction upon the city.

Sucking Subterrans!

Timothy stared at his phone as he heard a recorded message that simply stated, “Your account has been charged. Help is on the way. Please remain calm.” He slumped against the wall, trying to catch his breath. That help had better arrive soon—even more subterran creatures were joining in on the carnage below. The newest arrivals moved slowly along the streets, sucking up hapless victims with large mechanical vacuum arms.
