My fully functional first mecha, Metal Gear REX (replica)

Powered by large jets and super fuel at the feet, with a propeller hidden in the cockpit

 

The mecha's radome and railgun

I have the launch codes. I can launch at anytime. :]

 

Egg guns serve as REX's small guns, the laser is located underneath Rex's "mouth"

It's grey fox season.

 

for sh*ts and giggles, i dismembered the radome out of nostalgia.

You know what happens when the radome is destroyed?

 

The cockpit is exposed

 

"Impressive, you are indeed worthy of the codename "Fox"!

A propeller is placed on the seat to allow the jets in the feet to walk as i need them to.

Right trigger for acceleration, alternating upward left and right movements to move the legs.

Leg sections are inspired by MrGnawty's/DaPlaidBoxers' mecha tutorial.

I was trying to make it as close to resembling Rex as possible, but i was seriously risking exceeding the parts limit. Cockpit contains Super ammo and a replenisher, with a super seat allowing placement of the propeller.

 

I'm not gonna lie about it. It get's tiptoed sometimes when i make it walk. and if i overstep, the mech's toes prevent me from getting the leg to where it should be. Usually a little wobbling around resolves that...

 

Aiming with weapons is a pain, too. i can tilt the left control stick, but all the tilting around makes the mecha step backwards sometimes. Aiming with the Torpedile railgun is not the most fun thing in the world. the Laser and eggs on the other hand work out okay.

i'm considering adding Clockwork Kazooie eggs to the back of REX to serve as REX's standard missile pack, as Otacon mentions it.

 

If i ever get my Gold account back up and running, i'd be happy to re-enact the REX boss fight as long as someone plays along as Snake.

Wow! Now that's a nice mech

thanks. I only wish it could handle like a dream...

Hard to control?

---

A little, yeah.

I did just find out i can make it walk in rapid steps by increasing the rate of alternation from left and right. Of course that's the last thing i'd expect REX to do.

send it to me. I've been working on a functional REX for a while now, couldn't get the feet to look right, but I should be able to fix those problems you talked about, and maybe add something "more". like make the cockpit look better or fix...something. I dunno.

My offer is on the table, I'll wait for your answer.

(My GT is the same as my Forum name)

Ah, you got a functional REX as well?

my GT is the same as my forum user name. we'll have to accept friend requests i believe?

well, mine has the most accurate looks, while yours has the functionality.

I was thinking of combining both. Putting my Parts on your Chassis

But I won't be able to accept your FR until Monday, I'm out of town currently, and have no access to an Xbox.

Yay a metal gear mech, i love that game

i wonder if someone can do a metal gear gekko

---

Hell, I can wait. :)

I doubt a gekko would be easily to replicate. unless someone came up with a mechanic for Frog Legs.

This should link to my REX in action. i used the runway on the Nutty Acres volcano since it was flat enough. It includes walking, displaying the weapons, detaching the front of the cockpit.... and a small bit of random flailing on the top.

 

Liquid Snake not included.

does anyone actually have that REX to give away
