Subspace Army: Difference between revisions

[[File:Subspace_Army.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|A small fraction of the Subspace Army]]

The '''Subspace Army''' is an evil organization made up of formless beings in the Subspace Emissary of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They are the main antagonists, led by the mysterious character, the [[Ancient Minister]]. It is later revealed that the Ancient Minister was forced to lead the army by [[Ganondorf]], [[Bowser]] and [[Wario]]. The trio were the ones truly controlling the army and did so under the orders of [[Master Hand]]. Master Hand is later revealed to be controlled by [[Tabuu]], the true leader of the army. The Subspace Army's main troops are a group of small shadow beings, known as [[#Primids|Primids]]. Their goal was to pull the entire world into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] so as to destroy it. They hoped to accomplish this by using a powerful and deadly weapon known as the [[Subspace Bomb]]. The army is also in command of a large assortment of weapons and doomsday devices such as the [[Subspace Gunship]], a flying fortress that could trap entire areas in subspace without the use of the Subspace Bomb. [[Petey Piranha]], [[Porky]], [[Ridley]], his [[Meta Ridley|Meta form]], and Bowser's [[Koopa Troop]] are also members of the Subspace Army. The creatures in the Subspace Army were created from [[Shadow Bug]]s, which originated from [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. The army also has in their possession a weapon known as the [[Dark Cannon]], used by both Bowser and Wario to turn other characters into [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]].

[[File:Armank.jpg|thumb|An Armank]]

An '''Armank''' is an enemy hidden inside a tank-like structure. It moves on treads and has a functional construction arm capable of powerful attacks. Continuing to attack the arm destroys it, revealing the Armank's weak spot: a big green blob that controls the vehicle. Its name is a portmanteau of "armor" and "tank". It is the most powerful of the common units.
