Metal Gear RAY (unmanned)

The mass-produced model Metal Gear RAY was the first (and only) mass-produced Metal Gear. It was created by the U.S. Marine Corps (the Patriots).

Background
After 2007, the prototype model of Metal Gear RAY, which was created by the U.S. Marine Corps and "stolen" by Patriot agent Revolver Ocelot. From there, the Patriots (via the U.S. Navy) created 25 mass-produced Metal Gear RAY units in order to protect Arsenal Gear, a new type of Metal Gear constructed by the U.S. Navy and where the AI that controls the mass-produced models was housed.

In 2009, Arsenal Gear (which had been disguised as the Big Shell) was guarded by 25 mass-produced RAY units under the control of the GW AI. During Solidus Snake's takeover, the 25 mass-produced RAYs were under the Sons of Liberty's control. "special forces" operative Raiden later fought the mass-produced RAYs and was succesful in destroying several of the units with Stinger missiles. A further three were destroyed by Solidus, after and the units went haywire because the GW AI became corrupted by a worm cluster (based on the FoxDie virus). What happenned to remaining units is unknown.

In 2014, Outer Haven (Liquid Ocelot's personal warship) was armed with a number of mass-produced RAY models, controlled by the repaired GW AI onboard, which were used to attack the USS Missouri, though all were shut down the moment that GW was destroyed once and for all.

Information
The mass produced model of RAY, employed to protect Arsenal Gear, was controlled by an AI system integrated with Arsenal Gear's massive AI structure, GW. This version of RAY was similar to the prototype version of RAY, save for a few differences including the lack of a tail, round knees, different color, fewer armaments, one sensory input or "eye" as opposed to the two seen on the prototype RAY, and "US Navy" label instead of the prototype's label of "Marines". The mass production models in 2014 were marked with an "Outer Haven" label. It can also be surmised that the mass produced version of RAY were considerably weaker than its prototype counterpart, as it could be easily brought down with well placed shots from a Stinger missile.
