On the run.
Since Solidus's thread worked so well, it gave me the idea to do this one.

I'm definitely going with REX. It's without a doubt the most badass of them all and even took out a Anti REX Metal Gear while being heavily damaged and grossly outclassed in technology. :rock

Was this supposed to be a poll?

I agree REX was the best. Personally for me i just liked the design best
 
Asmuch as i love MGS1 i have to go with Ray. I really like Rex dont get me wrong and i do like MGS 1 far more than mgs2 but Ray is so sleek and versatile. I love the screechy roar it makes. I love how it moves and dives. I especially love it with the tail.

Desperado paint job FTW. (If only desperado had a Rex too...)

Desperado REX would be earthshatteringly epic. Maybe we will see it in MGR2 :pray:
 
Man, this a tough one. Even as a kid, I was never a fan of mechs, so when I first saw REX it didn't do much for me (it was spine chilling when I first fought it though).

When I first saw RAY though, hot damn it looked so slick! I instantly fell in love with every aspect of it- the design, aesthetics, the way it moved and such. In kinda goes in harmony with MGS2's mindf%^& themes.

That being said, I love both REX and RAY, they are yin yang to me. The others, meh.

Shagohod really? I find that surprising. I do love the Shagohod's design, definitely the most realistic of the mechs.

Yeah, I love the Russian mech look and the paint scheme. Very Cold War-ish.

But as I said, I can't choose between that and REX.

The whole mechanism of firing it's warhead was genius using a 3 mile long runway to as the first stage of a rocket launch.

It was a nice primitive delivery system that was a good start point of the worldwide attack system that would become the Metal Gear program.

Totally agree.
 
RAXA was terribly designed, but it felt like the next evolution in the technology. Fired on top of a Saturn 5 and it would eject from it over the target and hover as a platform and fire multiple MIRVs to blanket the area.

Peace Walker was too complicatedly built for no reason, it did not need that Spider-mode thing.

But, it was the first of the Metal Gears that could fire a warhead without any assistance other than the rocket itself.

ZEKE... don't even get me started on that too heavily advanced for the 70's piece of **** :lol
 
REX iz da wan und onleh.

Shagohod had pretty cool design but...

1. It wasnt impressive
2. Shagohod = Walker = Legs, thus stupidest name for a rocket launcher hovercraft




I can't, my posts are too important :gah:

Well at least your choice was a good one :lol

Yeah giving the Shagohod that meaning to it's name was a bit unsettling to me, but the name sticks. It doesn't even walk, it just drags it *** across the ground.

I guess they wanted it to symbolize an infant that would eventually be designed to walk.

Technology-wise, the series has always had it's issues. For example, MGS takes place in 2005. The weapons and kit used is very old for that time...I mean take a look at what soldiers in the GWOT were using at that point and compare it to the "Space SEALs" and so on. FAMAS rifles for a US SOF unit...yeah, right. In reality, they'd be running HK416 assault rifles with all the latest and greatest gadgets.

Obviously, being that the game came out in 1998 and was in development prior to that, it's understandable to a degree (even at that time, they'd be running an M4A1)..but just something I've thought of before.

Another thing I've noticed, look at the simplistic design of Snake's suit in MGS. Compare that to the older designs from Peace Walker, GZ, etc. You basically have an evolution from the MGS3 prototype suit, to MPO to PW, then to the flightsuit like sneaking suit of MGS, to the Octocamo. Seems that something like the Octocamo, or at least a prototype form of that suit, would've been used in MGS. If that makes sense.

After studying military weaponry, it never made any sense that a US special forces group would use the FAMAS.

It seems like the MGS3 suit had a lot of useless things on it and wasn't really perfected until the 21st century suits like the MGS1 suit, MGS2 Skull Suit and the MGS4 Octocamo suit is the pinnacle of the technology.
