Good ones, I don't really have that much spare time...

Big Boss, Lee Van Cleef, Hideo Kojima...The Shagohod. To the Russians the "step-walker", occasionally referred to in English as "The Treading Behemoth"), while not a Metal Gear variant per se, has a similar design and role. Rather than a bipedal mecha, it is an unconventional tank, armed with an intermediate-range ballistic missile it can propel to intercontinental ranges. Like the various Metal Gear variants, it can be crewed by a single pilot, although it has a station for a copilot.The Shagohod has an articulated body, split into two parts. The front part has a pair of Archimedes screws on hydraulic legs, which pull the bulky rear portion, suspended on a hovercraft-style air cushion. While this is an unusual mechanism for propulsion, far more unusual are the Shagohod's rocket boosters. With a sufficiently large flat piece of land (such as a highway or landing strip), the Shagohod can fire its rocket boosters to build up speed (up to more than 480 km/h or 300 mi/h) before firing its primary weapon, a nuclear-armed intermediate-range ballistic missile. In doing so, it serves as an additional stage for the rocket, allowing it to strike at targets nearly anywhere in the world. The Shagohod also has parachutes in the back to help slowing it down after a rocket-boosted missile-launch.Metal Gear REX is the model of Metal Gear involved in the Shadow Moses incident, and is characterized by a railgun that can deliver undetectable nuclear warheads to anywhere in the world. In addition to its railgun, REX differs from the preceding Metal Gear D in that its legs are heavily armored and reinforced, not vulnerable like its predecessor's.The Metal Gear REX has near-impregnable compound armor, a pair of vulcan cannons, anti-tank missiles, and a free-electron laser, to protect itself from conventional forces. Its primary weapon, however, is a railgun capable of delivering a nuclear warhead anywhere in the world, without the propellant trail or launch flare that gives away the launch position of a traditional ballistic missile. Because of its sealed, one-man cockpit and thick armor, its sensors are focused in a radome on the left side of its body; this radome is very vulnerable to attack, and destroying it effectively blinds the REX.The Metal Gear REX was a last-ditch effort on the part of weapons company ArmsTech, and, after bribing DARPA chief Donald Anderson to get covert US government funding for its development, ArmsTech produces a single prototype, which is sent to be tested at a nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island.Metal Gear RAY comes in two variants: a manned prototype version, developed to combat derivatives of Metal Gear REX, and an unmanned version, refitted to defend Arsenal Gear.RAY differs from previous Metal Gears in that it is not a nuclear launch platform, but instead a weapon of conventional warfare, originally designed to hunt down and destroy the many derivatives of Metal Gear REX that became common after the leak of the REX plans after the events of Metal Gear Solid. It is designed to be even more maneuverable and flexible in deployment than the REX, and can operate both on land and in the water. (Underwater, it is propelled by engines of unknown form in its two bulbous "wings".) While RAY has a pair of machine guns and six missile tubes to defend itself from more conventional battlefield threats, its primary weapon is a powerful water jet that can cut through heavily-armored foes, such as Metal Gear REX clones.The Metal Gear RAY is more organic than previous models, both in appearance and in function. The exterior is more organic; its streamlined shape helps to deflect enemy fire and allows for greater maneuverability both on land and in the water. RAY's interior workings are also much more organic. It has artificial fibers that contract when electricity is applied, much like natural muscle, instead of typical hydraulics; this pseudo-muscle tissue makes it very maneuverable. It also has a nervous-system-like system of conductive nanotubes, which connect the widely dispersed sensor systems and relay commands from the cockpit to the various parts of RAY's body, automatically bypassing damaged systems and rerouting to auxiliary systems when needed. Particularly unusual is its blood-like armor-repair nanopaste, which is secreted from valves whenever the exterior surface is damaged.Arsenal Gear is a submersible, mobile fortress, with the ability to monitor, block, and tamper with internet communications in order to further the goals of The Patriots. In Metal Gear Solid 2, it is a metaphor for the change of warfare in the last decades of the 20th century, from nuclear war to a war of culture, information, and espionage.The Arsenal Gear depicted is hidden under the Big Shell, and is controlled by an AI named "GW", which was designed by Emma Emmerich.Arsenal Gear is massive, large enough to house - and also require - a significant force for its defense. The exterior is shown when Radien and Solidus are heading for Federal Hall and see it speeding under many bridges before it crashes. It is large enough to house many Metal Gear RAYs, and causes widespread destruction when it crashes into Manhattan Island.) The Arsenal Gear hidden under the Big Shell has a unspecified number of "Tengu Commandos", soldiers clad in bionic exoskeletons and armed with P90 submachine guns and katana. It also has a squadron of 25 mass-production Metal Gear RAYs, each of which is under the direct control of GW, the AI controlling Arsenal Gear.Comprised of two main bodies, the Gekko has a mechanical head and torso similar to Metal Gear REX, and organic legs similar to Metal Gear RAY, with artificially-produced muscle. The unit can bleed if cut. The Gekko is heavy with strong surface armor, able to break through stone surfaces and withstand regular assault rifle fire, though sharp objects are able to disable or destroy it. One of its attacks is to charge enemy ground forces.Each leg is strong enough to support the weight of the rest of the body, including when hanging or lifting itself, and it can keep itself upright even if it has lost the other leg (probably by gyroscopic sensors in the AI system, though this is unknown). If the unit lands on its head, it does have difficulty getting upright. The legs give it nearly all-terrain capability, appearing to be able to rotate 360 degrees at the hip joint and grab onto higher surfaces with its feet, allowing it to pull itself up. It can stab its feet into walls and shimmy up to higher storeys. The Gekko can jump great distances and many times its height. It can also kick in a sweeping motion, and use its feet to stomp on objects.Each unit has an onboard AI system that takes control. Multiple units seem to be able to work with each other, executing attacks and traps in a team fashion to destroy a target. Other parts of its equipment include an infrared radome on the top left-hand side of the head, TOW Missiles on the left side of the head, an M2 .50 Machine Gun on the top right-hand side of the head, and it has a storage compartment accompanied by flexible cable-like tentacles to hand personnel any needed equipment when necessary. These tentacles have three fingers at the end to grip objects with, and are also used in combat to grab and drag enemies, or for stabbing. It is also important to note that the Gekko can imitate animal noises such as cattle in order to lure a potential target into a false sense of security.
