The Shagohod is not in this countdown for one reason: no legs. Every Metal Gear has legs. While it filled the role of pre-final boss mech battle, the Shagohod was a precursor for the lineup of Metal Gears to come.
Shagohod wasn't the precursor to metal gear. Remember, it was developed in parallel to metal gear as a competitor to the original metal gear idea. It was stated in metal gear solid 3 that they went with shagohod in the Soviet Union instead of metal gear. Granin's conversation with naked snake made that distinction very clear.
I feel like Shangohad walking up on it's turbine tracks should count to close enough to legs. But whatever. It's your list....I guess the games don't really count them as legs either, according to Granin.
In defense of Sahalanthropus, Huey had 10 years to develop it, and Strangelove helped him for some of those before he became a douche to surpass Adam Malcovich. Dr. Madnar was forced to make TX-55 under Venom Snake or Big Boss' orders. He didn't have the experience or time that Huey had to build bipedal tanks, so his two Metal Gears are understandable downgrades.
Sahelanthropus, looks a lot like Rex doesnt it? Liquid high jacks it. Then turns it in to Rex. I cant remember the details. But the heads are the same and such.
In MGS4, it just goes to show you can't beat the old hats. Liquid and RAY were meant to be the superiors to Solid and REX respectively, but they still pulled through and kicked both their asses.
except wasn't it revealed that Liquid actually had the recessive genes not Solid? but was told the opposite so much that he believed it as some kind of experiment?
To me Arsenal Gear (who isn’t even on the list cause no legs) is the best. I just love the concept behind it, that being an allegory for the change from nuclear deterrence to cyber warfare. Arsenal’s insides are also surprisingly creepy, the music, visuals, and glitchy codec really make it the only Metal Gear I’d consider “scary” aside from maybe Sahelanthropus. Also Liquid put a Mt. Rushmore (Snakemore?) on it, which is equal parts amazing and stupid.
@@solidussnake2567I mean, it probably is, but it’s not entirely clear. Outer Haven is implied, but not outright stated to be a rebuilt Arsenal Gear. I say this because GW, the AI core of Arsenal is also present in Outer Haven. I’m guessing after Arsenal crashed The Patriots had it rebuilt, and it was then promptly stolen by Liquid Ocelot who put the new name and funny snake faces on it.
I'd say that Ray is the ultimate. Sure Rex is iconic and such, but Ray is just about the Metal Gear everyone fears sans nuclear capability. A mass produced MG, and that fear can be felt in extreme in MGS2 when you gotta down 20 of them.
Also, nothing in the metal gear series can beat all of the mg rays together, I’m talking about the prototype, the mgr one, the mass produced ones and etc
Я бы сказал что Ray наименее прочный, его пачками ломал райден, солидус, в мгр его ломали, в мгс 4 старый Снейк смог победить метал гир рей при помощи старого метал гир Рекс, как не посмотри, его ломали чаще остальных
Regarding Sahelanthropus : I think the game mentioned, that Sahelanthropus was a dead end and wouldnt work. Huey even said that they couldnt find space for the AI system that would allow it to be bipedal. Without Mantis, it wouldnt have worked in any way.
I always find EXCELSUS roaring funny and scary. As if a giant robot designed to beat the fuck out of actual Metal Gears wasn't enough to make the enemy shit themselves, someone straight up programmed the damn thing to roar too. Imagine seeing one of these things lumbering your way, then hearing it *roar* - No thanks, I'll die.
Peace Walker was an underrated Metal Gear in my opinion. Yes, others were more powerful. But none of them came as close as PW did to actually launching the nuke.
TX-55 deserves better. It can fire TWO nukes, and it can only be destroyed by firing explosives in a certain pattern, which, if it was moving and running around, would be extremely hard to do.
13:30 "and we all know how the early 6th generation loves water!" is there a reason why? Because of showcasing realistic water effect with the new technological advances?
I have a theory on why Sahelanthropus looks like rex, TPP takes place in 1984, so Sahelanthropus as built before rex. Hal might've uncovered some files from his father on Sahelanthropus, but only when its in its rex mode, and altered the design so,rex looks different than Sahelanthropus hence why they look almost the same.
that and the reason rex probably doesn't stand up right is due to the fact that Sahelanthropus had 10 years of development while rex had less than that. it's also most likely easier to make a bipedal machine stand like rex as opposed to how Sahelanthropus stands
Don't forget about ZEKE being undisturbed, sunken in the Caribbean, that would've also been highly important in making REX, look REX's legs, it's almost the same as Peace Walker's, same goes with the power unit, rail gun and radome
In defense of sal, Huey said threat it was a paper tiger and probably didn’t even work, the Armour was weak and only worked cause of physco mantis basically it was a giant puppet
Remember: shagohod isn't a precursor to metal gear at all. It was developed at the same time in parallel as it's main competition, and the shagohod simply won out in Soviet Russia. So for those saying it's the precursor.. it isn't. It's the alternative
Ray has become far more dangerous in the recent part of the mha timeline within revengeance, since its hydro cutter was replaced with a freaking plasma canon, several more missiles, best of all, a sword arm for hard hitting swings capable of sweeping over smaller Gears and Troops
@@charactersin-depth3472 Yeah, this was the reason for the creation of Chaos in Sonic Adventure right? Ya know, I always thought Sega/Sonic Team would give Chaos special treatment since he was a big part of SA1. Also, yh it's no surprise many would game devs would be trying to do it.
One thing I really like about Metal Gear Excelsus is that its theme song really speaks to me. I mean look at how our nation has been lately, due to all the "Unenlightened Masses who cannot make the judgement call."
In my school vr game, there's 1 new Metal Gear called Metal Gear Omega (The last Metal Gear of its kind that is based off Sarcalampapist and its combat data along with the Ultra Beast Goalius, it is ridiculously powerful) it boss fight is nuts (Phase 1 it fires off missiles, Vulcan guns and its twin railguns, its melee weapons are transferred from Sarcalampapist, RAY heat blade, Excelces twin swords and its fists) after destroying its twin railguns phase 2 began (Phase 2 has the same attacks but the Excelces twin swords and Twin Railguns are replaced with psychic energy blasts)
I have to pick Peace Walker, this is the first “Metal Gear” that we see using the power of its lets to run so it can delivery the “can lunch a nuke from anywhere” and also you fight it to prevent the lunch, not like the other metal gear… I would have like to fight Ray in MGS2 while it swims in and out to change positions
My favorite has to be Zeke, just because he is MY metal gear, i even get to get him extra parts or diferent kinds of heads. They did him dirty in MGSV, we already had Rex controls since MGS4, why we couldn't had Zeke survive and be used against Sahelantropus? Afganistan and Africa also have a big map, we could have used him in free roam. "But the balance!" dude, the balance in MGSV is already broken if you have all your equipment and companions maxed out, having Zeke or the Battle Gear as playable units after beating the game with S rank in all missions and some other requirements would have made it that you could only use him for fun after everything has been done.
good list, But I'm kinda sad that you didn't mention the best fact about Excelsus: It isn't a real metal gear, and was given the title to make it sell better.
It's pretty much like Ray in that regard, at least the mass produced ones. Most other metal gears have weapons merely for self defense, but mass produced rays and Excelsus were designed for asymmetrical warfare rather than nuclear.
I LOVE metal gear solid 2. It was the entire reason I mowed yards all summer in order to buy a PS2 when I was 12. So of course I have a soft spot for metal gear ray. I love mgs2, which doesn't get a lot of love. The entire series is my favorite game series.. but sons of liberty/substance often gets crapped on. I get it... People were upset that solid snake wasn't the protagonist. but I understand why. raiden was a "rookie",;and snake looked even more impressive. I loved it
"Why didn't Psycho Mangos crush Solid Snake like a Bug...?" Second controller port my guy. Fight him without second port. You can kill him but you can tell you're doing something wrong.
Ray is my personal favourite and icon 🤷♂️ I love Rex too… It set the tone for my mech obsession as a kid in the 90’s But Ray tactically has more options and the aesthetic is really pleasing for me!
I hear what your saying. But should't sal be 3. Its in two games. Yes i know its Survive. Its in 4 different fights. Two in mgsV and the one that was cut out. But we still know it happened. Plus lord slug. I know lol
You didn't mention how horrible the battle against Metal Gear GANDER was? Everytime I died in its 2nd phase I had to start from the big hallway to the 1st phase and I had no other option than to rely on save states. That has to be one of the worst boss fights I've ever experienced in a videogame.
I hated what they did in MGSV and this cringy caricaturist Sahelantropus design that totally contradicts the MGS time line in so many ways. It was never scary at a single point because I was busy cringing over the "comic'ish" way it walked and the noises it made and the illogical resemblance to MG Rex. MGS1 introduced us to the rail gun and the "radom" system as something "state of the art" (and the game was set to play in 2005) and also it was said that D and Rex were the first FUNCTIONAL bipedal tanks (because the first actual Metal Gear got destroyed by Snake before they got to the test phase and Otacon also stated in MGS1 that the whole Rex development is mere theory, tested in a super computer simulation and that they wouldn't know if the data would translate well to a real battle or launching a Nuke in "real life"). It was an "original design" by Otacon and his father was only mentioned to be involved in the Manhattan Project, but there was no mention at all of ANY connection to the whole Big Boss or Metal Gear thing because of course, MGSV was not written yet, but the writer's didn't care to not contradict the lore and time line. Also it is contradicting that Huey Emmrich would "come up" with an "original" design (of actually his son) that was actually developed by Granin (contradiction already in MGS3), which we had seen blue prints and models of Rex, Ray and even a Zone Of Enders' Orbital Frame in Granin's office in MGS3 which predates MGSV's time frame.

Metal Gear Rex, An Ray are Top Tiers Machines but Metal Gear Mech aka Shagohod, it's Design looks more Dangerous An Menacing, its also Top Tier Machine.
Sal was made to look like rex in store mode to tease fans in the trailer. In truth with the metallic archare. It could have destroyed every other metal gear on this list.
completely wrong lol, kojima himself stated that the game follows a linear power level in which the technology and characters get stronger with each game in chronological order.
I just wish they had done Code Veronica instead. Im positive im not the only one, but we're likely still the minority lol. Looks great tho, vant wait to play
The thing is that they weren't treated as boss battles (except in Act 4), but bulkier enemies. It'd be like in MGS2 if you already fought the RAYS before the climax.
I do love the Gekkos (they always get me tensed up). But they're not here since they were never written as the big bad machine you tackle near the ending like other Metal Gears, they more like suped-up grunts.

In defense of Sahalanthropus, Huey had 10 years to develop it, and Strangelove helped him for some of those before he became a douche to surpass Adam Malcovich. Dr. Madnar was forced to make TX-55 under Venom Snake or Big Boss' orders. He didn't have the experience or time that Huey had to build bipedal tanks, so his two Metal Gears are understandable downgrades.
I agree with you
Sahelanthropus, looks a lot like Rex doesnt it? Liquid high jacks it. Then turns it in to Rex. I cant remember the details. But the heads are the same and such.

Peace Walker was an underrated Metal Gear in my opinion. Yes, others were more powerful. But none of them came as close as PW did to actually launching the nuke.
Not to mention that it almost caused what it was built to deter.
