* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler: After defeating Cyber-Lip and regaining control of the android population of CO5, Rick and Brook made their way back to headquarters just as The President congratulates them... before revealing he's an alien in disguise and is using the heroes in disposing of Cyber-Lip to facilitate his plans to TakeOverTheWorld]]. The game abruptly ends at that point.
* DetachmentCombat: One of the bosses is an octopus-like abomination with a single, green eye which it will detach as a FacelessEye periodically to assault Rick and Brook.
* EldritchAbomination: The bosses of the alien factions, ranging from a massive, torso-like blob with a humanoid head on an extendable neck growing out it's stomach to a slimy mass of tentacles with a single floating green eye and a floating, pulsating red lump of flesh larger than the heroes.
* GiantMook: The scorpion-like insect enemies that shows up in the desert levels are large enough, but there's also their adult forms, which towers over Rick and Brook and can tank even more hits before going down.
* HiddenVillain: [[spoiler: The unnamed President in command of Rick and Brook's mission]].

--> '''[[spoiler: The President]]''': [[spoiler: Mission completed. You have done a good job. There are no more obstacles in our way. The Earth is ours.]]
