Metal Gear (weapon)

Metal Gear (weapon)

Metal Gear (Japanese: メタルギア, Hepburn: Metaru Gia?) is the name for a series of fictional mecha in the Metal Gear series. In the series, a Metal Gear is defined as a bipedal nuclear weapons-equipped tank, but in the case of Metal Gear RAY, is a large bipedal tank designed to destroy other Metal Gears. Usually each game has a new Metal Gear with a different role. The Metal Gears are typically autonomous nuclear launch platforms which the player must destroy in order to save the world and complete the game. Often (but not always), confronting the latest model of Metal Gear is one of the final challenges of each game.
