The Metal Gear model in Metal Gear Ac!d and Metal Gear Ac!dē.
Its named is derived from the Japanese word "Kodoku" or "Isolation".
One of the larger Metal Gear models, KODOQUE has two armor-like plates on each of its arms
that come equpped with a remote control missile launcher.
There are four slots for missiles on each arm, coming to a total of 8 missiles at one time.
When not being used, these arms can form a protective cocoon around the Metal Gear.
It also comes with a beam cannon near the legs,
and can fire a plasma shot from its head when both arms are destroyed.
This beam can be interrupted if 4 rods in a control room are destroyed.
The inside is also different from Metal Gears: It comes equipped with a control room,
and has sentry bots for security. It also has multiple controls when compared
to previous Metal Gears having a cockpit.
After the Lobito Incident, KODOQUE's wreck was salvaged and brought to the SaintLogic
facility. It was kept in the 4-story Metal Gear Prototype building,
which is destroyed by Snake and Venus.
Metal Gear Chaioth Ha Qadesh
Metal Gear Chaioth Ha Qadesh is the Metal Gear model which appears in Metal Gear
Ac!dē. The name Chaioth Ha Qadesh is derived from the Keter, a high level in the
Kabbalah religion. The name refers to a group of angels,
called the Holy Living Creatures. Originally designed as a way to control
Model 3 test subjects, Chaioth Ha Qadesh uses the EGO
(Enhanced Governing Organization System) Operating System to control various
modified soldiers and guard robots. SaintLogic developed the Metal Gear for that purpose,
but Dr. Thomas Koppelthorn stole Chaioth Ha Qadesh as a means to get revenge for his wife
Lucinda and kill all involved in the Praulia Massacre.
Like other Metal Gears, Chaioth Ha Qadesh can fire a nuclear missile from any area of the world to its target.
However, one difference is that it mainly uses Neutron Bombs as its main weapon,
and also contains the data on all test subjects in the SaintLogic institute.
It has a missile launcher on its back, and
can fire bullets from the Vulcan Cannons on each of its arms.
It also has a slot on the top for launching energy that can cause any equipped cards to
be destroyed. Metal Gear Chaioth Ha Qadesh uses nano chip expansions so the player can
see what cards the Metal Gear has and will use.
METAL GEAR TX-55
The original Metal Gear (featured in the eponymous first installment),
sometimes referred by its full codename Metal Gear TX-55 (or alternatively,
TX-55 Metal Gear), is designed at Outer Heaven by the Eastern scientist Dr.
Drago Pettrovich Madnar. Dr. Madnar is coerced into developing Metal Gear,
after his daughter is held hostage for blackmail. Metal Gear's weakspot is its feet,
which could only be destroyed by placing plastic explosives over them in a determined order.
This Metal Gear is destroyed before completion; the final challenge in Metal Gear is instead a battle with Big Boss and a race against
time to escape the self-destructing base.
The Metal Gear mecha does not appear in the NES version of the game.
Instead, the player has to take out a Super Computer
which controls Metal Gear prior to the final battle with Big Boss.
In Snake's Revenge, the non-canonical sequel to Metal Gear,
mass-produced versions of the original Metal Gear appear
, alongside Metal Gear 2, its successor.
The wreckage of the original Metal Gear itself also appears in
Stage 9 of Metal Gear: Ghost Babel
METAL GEAR G
his was finally "unaccepted" and lost any chance to appear in the game (it was supposed to appear in the factory in 1st floor of Zanzibar Building).
A mass-produce metal gear developed as a heavy walking tank for local combat.
Nuclear modules are removed, and it is emphasized in lightweight and mobility.
Sensors are improved to assist in infantry fighting in local areas
(where tanks cannot enter).
One is available for each infantry troop, and its main service is to serve as a sensor for the troops, supply,
and cover soldiers.
Usually, those who ride in the Gustav are communication officers,
information processing personnel and commanders, those who are considered "2nd class"
in the military force.
It is opposite to Metal Gear D, which is covered with weapons from head to toe.
This mini-Metal Gear is called a "walking control tower",
because it processes all the information and battle status it receives, then transmits the analysis to all soldiers in the troop in real-time. And,
it enables all soldiers to scope out a single target through its sensors!
Among soldiers it is called "OSTRICH", inspired by its form.
While it is just an assistant war machine, equipped weapons rival the power
of MTB armored vehicles. You can mount optional weapons on its option latch,
depending on the situation.
Equipped wisely, it is now possible to use as an economic alternative to
main force war machines, such as tanks.
