Tiberius Augustus = Justice, or The Triumvirate if you count the Relic of Moirai.He may be also based off The Triumvirate from Shattered Soldier, if you count the Relic of Moirai fusing with them.Ironicaly, he also seems to be partialy based on Bahamut's apperance and role in the original Contra Hard Corps, up to the point they Tiberius even resembles Contra: Hard Corps Bahamut visually, for example both having long hair and having a stache, as well as both wearing miltary uniforms and capes.Expy: Of Colonel, or Master Contra of Neo Contra or Chief Salamander of Contra Rebirth.The Unfought: Justified for plot twisting reasons.Shout-Out: Chief Salamander and his Neo-Salamander Forces are named after Salamander, while the name Plissken is a direct reference to Snake Plissken from Escape from New York and Escape from L.A.Heel–Face Turn: Presumably undergoes one in The Stinger of ReBirth.
In the Japanese version, when a photograph of Chief Salamander is shown at the beginning of Stage 3, he looks strikingly like Adolf Hitler. Bowdlerize: Naturally, this had to happen to him when Contra ReBirth was brought overseas.Alternative Character Interpretation: If you beat Contra ReBirth on the Normal difficulty or higher, you'll get a scene after the credits revealing that Plissken, one of the characters you can possibly play as, turns out to be the game's villain all along, and also it's implied that he makes a Heel–Face Turn at some point (that, or BR-W9/Brownie is the one to make a Face–Heel Turn).True Final Boss: You can only fight him and his final form if you have a high-enough ranking.Ĭhief Salamander is a reptilian alien who fights against the Contra Force.Slasher Smile: This ending pic ◊ has him sporting one of these which looks rather similar to Sigma or M.Psychotic Smirk: His default expression.In reality, him destroying the planet is simply For the Evulz. Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: He claims to want to destroy Earth as a means to demolish all structured society and their morals.Kick the Dog: His Break Them by Talking speech as well as his killing of Mystery G.A God Am I: He claims to have far surpassed the original Bill Rizer, even going as far as to declare himself as the ultimate form of him.Unusual for a typical ContraFinal Boss in that attacking him is optional, just dodge the bullets and wait for him to burn up in atmosphere. Hold the Line: The final stage has you fighting Master Contra in his final form.His speech in Stage 6 about winning wars and ultimate soldiers is an example. Hannibal Lecture: He loves giving these.Expy: Has a few traits similar to Sigma, particularly his Mega Man X4 incarnation, minus the Grim Reaper motifs.Break Them by Talking: When he's revealed, he taunts Bill about how he claims to be the real Bill Rizer, and that Bill's memories were pieced together by a military database.But beyond that, any personal memories? Disturbing how little you can recall, isn't it? Master Contra: What do you remember from before they put you in cold sleep, hmm? How much? You probably remember missions and battles fairly accurately. His appearance in ReBirth resembles the Predalien from Aliens vs. Xenomorph Xerox: Resembles the Xenomorph Queen from Aliens.It's just that he's gone batshit insane about it. Well-Intentioned Extremist: One possible angle you can interpret his invasion of the planet, thanks to what we have learned from Contra: Shattered Soldier's backstory.Recurring Boss: He appears at least once per game since Super C.Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: He appears as a boss in Neo under the hands of Master Contra.Final Boss: Of the arcade version of Super C and Contra III.Expy: His humanoid form in 3D is similar to either Tiberius, Lance Bean in Shattered Soldier, or M.
