Minion is a recurring boss in the Twisted Metal series, typically being an armored combat vehicle driven by an eponymous demon. It appears in the first five games in the series.
Description[]
Minion is usually an APC, but has also been a tank and a tanker truck. Barring Twisted Metal 4, it has been consistently regarded as the most powerful vehicle in all appearances.
It is most frequently driven by the character of the same name, though in Twisted Metal: Black, it is given a secret driver.

Scrapped[]
- Minion - Twisted Metal: Small Brawl: According to Small Brawl's art director, Dave Goodrich, Minion was originally planned to appear as the final boss, but this was scrapped very early on in the game's development due to it being intended for younger audiences. It was replaced by Piecemeal. Minion was cut so early on in the game's development that no real plans were made for it, other than a quick sketch of the driver, who was supposed to be a child wearing a devil suit. The R/C car was never designed.
