* BigBad: As a leader of the Order, he wants nothing more than spreading his totalitaristic regime across the globe. He is also responsible for ordering abduction of people to turn them into more soldiers, experimentation that resulted in the creation of many mutants and is indirect reason behind Mad Esper's actions and the current state of Psychopolis.

* BigBadWannabe: He utilized his powers to create an army of constructs, brainwashed some Order troops and wanted to create an even more powerful device to extend his capabilities, all in effort to take down the Order and rule himself. He ends up being brought down despite his efforts before he could fully put his plan into motion. [[spoiler: Even more so when it's eventually revealed the Order had their own brainwashing tech it used to convert all the resistance it crushed into its own troops, meaning they where always at least a step ahead of Esper's plan. ]]

* {{Invincibility}}: Due to the great amount of consumed radioactive cacti, his third form can temporarily harden his skin, nullifying all incoming damage.

* AIrborneMook: He's the first and only flying boss in the entirety of Ironhide Games' tower defense games.

* RecurringBoss: Appears three times throughout Wastelands, learning new tricks every time, such as the TornadoSpin.

Animalistic mutants and other denizens of radioactive Swamp who attack anyone who wanders into their territory and are main antagonistic faction of said swamp.

* AirborneMook: Gliders and Copter Bombers. Neither follow conventional paths and cannot be targeted by Artillery. Glider is a Jumker with a parachute powered by old engine, while Copter Bombers are "engineers" flying an old bathtub and dropping bombs below.

* BreakingOldTrends: He is the first, and only so far, ''flying boss'', something never seen before in any Ironhide entry, ''absolutely'' necessitating the use of towers and tactics that can hit flying enemies. If Esper before him could be countered by ground units due to simply levitating above ground, Hadron cannot be attacked by them. He still attacks them to allow other enemies pass through, however.

* ItCanThink: While it's speech may make it seem like a mindless beast, this mutant spider likes to stalk his prey and thinks about new ways to do so between fights. [[spoiler: His final fight reveals he is actually guarding the territory for the Order instead of simply devouring random people, confirming that he is much smarter than he seems. ]]

* AirbornMook: Gliders and Copter Bombers. Neither follow conventional paths and cannot be targeted by Artillery. Glider is a Jumker with a parachute powered by old engine, while Copter Bombers are "engineers" flying an old bathtub and dropping bombs below.

A gigantic radiation-infected spider that stalks the Scavengers throughout swamps. Is a MiniBoss of Swamps.

!!Sand Junkers
Survivors of the apocalypse who took to raiding other survivors and are the main antagonistic faction of the Wasteland. They consist of Junker, Wasteland Rat, Rider, Motorcycle, Bulwark, Smoke Runner, Smoker Rider, Glider, Brutalizer, Junk Carrier and Copter Bomber.

* AirbornMook: Gliders and Copter Bombers. Neither follow conventional paths and cannot be targeted by Artillery. Glider is a Jumker with a parachute powered by old engine, while Copter Bombers are "engineers" flying an old bathtub and dropping bombs below.
* DarkActionGirl: Smoker Riders are female, very much participate in combat with their quad bikes and shotguns and are eager to kill and plunder Scavengers.
* FragileSpeedster: Wasteland Rat has less hp that Junker, but is much quicker. Motorcycle and Smoke Runner are also quick and unblockable, but don't have much hp either.
* GiantMook: Bulwark. He's big, slow, tough, hits hard, and has a shield that can tank additional damage.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Bulwarks carry big shields that give them additional health on top of their own. The shield does protect them, but wears out after taking enough damage and needs to be replaced, not to mention that it can be penetrated by Sniper Nest. Same goes for shields given by Junk Carrier, but those can only be restored if Junk Carrier uses his ability on the same enemy.
* ZergRush: Junkers, Wasteland Rats, Riders rush in great numbers and are otherwise relatively weak.

A hulking gigantic human with the strength enough to shake the earth he walks. Acts as a MiniBoss of Wastelands.

* TheBrute: Tall, muscular, strong and not exactly bright, he does his job of crushing his foes with great efficiency.
* RecurringBoss: Appears three times throughout Wastelands, learning new tricks every time, such as the TornadoSpin.

!!Rollerdozer
[[quoteright:316:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_20240306_150409.jpg]]
The leader of the Junkers riding a bulldozer with spiked roller. Is the final boss of Wastelands chapter.

* ArcVillain: Of the Wasteland. He seeks to establish his rule over it and trample any Scavenger resistance. In the climax of the chapter, he personally confronts scavengers on his own destructive vehicle.
* WastelandWarlord: Is this to a T, having hoarded his own army of Junkers and even a personal transportation in form of a modified steamroller. He seeks to spread his oppression over the whole wasteland.

!!Arachnox
A gigantic radiation-infected spider that stalks the Scavengers throughout swamps. Is a MiniBoss of Swamps.

* CallBack: To Noxious Creeper from ''VideoGame/KingdomRush'', being a mutated antagonistic spider with its own mutated breed, even having similar names. However, where Noxious Creeper was a common enemy and was mutated due to a corruption from the Rotten Forest, Arachnox is a MiniBoss with more attacks and abilities mutated by nuclear radiation and possibly Order experiments. Even their names are similar.
* WeaponizedOffspring: Can produce a whole swarm of smaller spiders that he uses as his flunkies.

!!Failed Experiment
A towering mutated frog that came to be thanks to the experiments of Order. A boss of the Swamps.

* AmphibianAssault: A gigantic and powerful frog mutant that can eliminate scores of scavengers and is even the boss of the chapter.

!!Esper's Golem
A fridge construct that seems to have a degree of sentience or at least robot-like intelligence. Is a MiniBoss of Psychopolis.

* PowerFloats: Due to being the most powerful artificial construct and this imbued with much of ArcVillain power, it is able to menacingly float instead of walking.

!!Mad Esper
A powerful psychic that has created all the constructs and brought Psychopolis to the state seen in the game. Is the boss of said chapter.

* BigBadWannabe: He utilized his powers to create an army of constructs, brainwashed some Order troops and wanted to create an even more powerful device to extend his capabilities, all in effort to take down the Order and rule himself. He ends up being brought down despite his efforts before he could fully put his plan into motion. [[spoiler: Even more so when it's eventually revealed the Order had their own brainwashing tech it used to convert all the resistance it crushed into its own troops, meaning they where always at least a step ahead of Esper's plan. ]]
* PsychicPowers: Due to his poor stature and inability to engage in physical combat, he utilizes this to no end, having brought various common city objects to life as his minions, brainwashing some Order troops to his side and floating instead of walking. During his BossBattle, he is able to hurl pieces of debris thanks to his telekinesis, teleport to different paths and create hands out of junk to punch those who stand in his way.

!!Tyrant
A brutal and fanatical warrior of the Order. Is a MiniBoss of Order Base.

* TheDragon: Even more so than mini-bosses of other chapters, since Tyrant directly answers to the BigBad of the game as a whole and this can be considered a secondary antagonist of it. He is the most powerful Order combatant and commands all troops on the battlefield.

!!Hadron
A tyrannical leader of the Order, seeking to spread his domination to the whole world. Is a boss of Order Base and FinalBoss of the game as a whole.

* ArmoredCoffins: His mecha, for all its offensive capabilities, lacks an eject function, so when the mecha begins to break down from sustained damage, it explodes with Hadron still inside, obliterating him and ending his reign for good.
* AntiStructure: He can shoot out lighting both in his normal and mecha forms to temporarily stun towers.
* BigBad: As a leader of the Order, he wants nothing more than spreading his totalitaristic regime across the globe. He is also responsible for ordering abduction of people to turn them into more soldiers, experimentation that resulted in the creation of many mutants and is indirect reason behind Mad Esper's actions and the current state of Psychopolis.
* BreakingOldTrends: He is the first, and only so far, ''flying boss'', something never seen before in any Ironhide entry, ''absolutely'' necessitating the use of towers and tactics that can hit flying enemies. If Esper before him could be countered by ground units due to simply levitating above ground, Hadron cannot be attacked by them. He still attacks them to allow other enemies pass through, however.
* FinalExamBoss: He combines multiple nasty traits of strong enemies. He has a ton of hp, is flying, limiting the things that can hit him, has multiple long range attacks in form of crowd-hitting or single-target laser beams, teleportation, tower-stunning attack and, on top of it all, MookMaker capabilities, since he summons Order Juggernauts through the teleporters. Needless to say, it works for a frantic FinalBattle and puts every skill to the test.
* HumongousMecha: As he gets fed up with Scavengers, he summons his gigantic mecha armour as a Trump card. Cue frantic FinalBoss battle.
* IAmTheNoun: Just before stepping into the fray himself, he proclaims: "[[LargeHam I AM THE ORDER]]!". Doubles as a PreAssKickingOneLiner.
* KarmicDeath: As an oppressor whose army struck fear into anyone who tried to resist and made them fear utterly helpless, he gets defeated by a force that proves to be stronger than his army and, judging by the sounds his mecha makes, spends his final moments struck by fear as he is helpless to escape his exploding mecha, screaming as it blows up taking him with it.
* ProactiveBoss: Even before he personally steps down into the fray in his mecha, he occasionally stuns towers by striking them with electricity.
