A nuclear-equipped walking battle tank also equipped with state-of-the-art conventional weaponry such as missiles, heavy machine guns, and lasers. It's main selling point was its ability to launch a variety of nuclear warheads toward anywhere on Earth from any location. It had the ability to more independently and instead of using a standard nuclear launch module, it was equipped with a weapon, which allowed it to launch a nuclear weapon with no external support. Since it could operate from regions, which were up to that point not on the world's nuclear strategy map, it was a weapon that destroyed the sensitive balance of nuclear deterrence and represented an enormous threat to the entire world.
You would really not want to be standing in front of Metal Gear Rex if it had a pilot who was unfriendly towards you....

*A massive bipedal tank (bipedal, as in, two-legged) equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, and capable of being equipped with a nuclear arsenal. Being bipedal, it is capable of launching a nuclear missile from ANY point on the face of the earth, from mountains to deserts to swamps, ANYWHERE.

A nuclear equipped walking battle tank. Metal Gear Rex was held by the army, with legendary technology. The US marines later made use of Metal Gear Ray, which was amphibious, unlike the army's Rex. Metal Gear Arsenal was disguised as a rig in the middle of a lotta water. It was revealed to be more than just a weapon, containing nearly every piece of valuable information to the US government. It wasn't just a weapon, but the core of the country. It was guarded by a bunch of Rays. I don't know where the story goes from there, as I have not gotten Metal Gear Solid 3 yet.
Wow. It's a cool name that has been re-used for projects of killing machines and databases for the US government.
