Yeah, for Raiden the Patriots had basically done the head transplant as all that remained from Raiden was his head and part of his spinal cord that contained the nerve endings for everything, which was then stuck onto the biomechanic body that we see in MGS4.

And yes, PythonSelkan will most likely point out to such, but it's not really possible. When you look at the Skulls, you can see they wear rather big suits, most likely to contain their bodyparts and the like, showing that cyborgs tech wasn't yet capable of producing sleek suits like Gray Fox or Raiden, and that totally makes sense considering the time period. It wouldn't make sense for Big Boss because he appears to be fully human except for that arm, and even Sergio claims that his head transplantation still needs two years before he can do it, that's 2017 for us, that's a wide gap of medical technology and advancement. I seriously do not believe that such is so smoothly capable back in 1984 when medical science was still widely testing transplantations (organs had already been transplanted successfully by 84 but it was still not as successful as today, hell the first successfull hand transplant was only in 98, that's 14 years later)

As for their persistence....I have to give them credit their, they have been debunked left and right by people, and despite that all, they still keep on going strong....not to mention that their actual fanbase is about as delusional as they are (example shown earlier in this threat IIRC). Though in comparion to the Time Traveling Solid Snake....people actually had something viable to hold on thanks to the whole "Time Paradox" game over screen which was one of the main reasons the whole theory came to life. PythonSelkan more so bases their theories on complete assumptions and "Hurr hurr, you can't trust Kojima, he's the master troll of master trolls" which is just...facepalm worthy.

Like I said, can't wait for the 9th of June to roll in so that we can learn more about the game and come closer to proving them wrong once and for good.
