Shagohod 

shah-goh-hohd

After a long time, the name for the new Metal Gear unit in Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater is confirmed. Shagohod is its name, once and for all.

Shagohod is a massive, somewhat-bipedal tank, capable of operating on any land on the planet. The crown jewel of the Shagohod, however, is its nuclear capabilities; it is equipped with a massive turret designed to launch an SS-20 Saber-Class nuclear missile. Other than its nuclear capability, the Shagohod is the missing link between infantry and artillery, and given MGS3's setting, the Shagohod's deployment ultimately means the end of the Cold War, the end of nuclear deterrence, and thus, World War III.
"Metal Gear Rex will always be my favorite, but the Shagohod looks so cool nonetheless. ^_^ "
