Pupa

Pupa is one of the three AI weapons introduced in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Design
Pupa is one of the three AI weapons. As with all AI units, it has an AI cylinder. It was designed with speed and hover capabilities in mind. It has two treads that move in a similar fashion to arms. However, its most significant part is the boosters on its back. It can travel at speeds that can even allow it to race against curved walls.

Weapons
It also possesses six machinegun turrets: four on the back, and two on the front. It also has a set of seven lightning rod launchers on each side of its posterior compartment. It possesses an arm below the head region for generating shocks, and the lightning rods are presumably used for this attack.

Peace Walker
Peace Walker was developed by Dr. Huey Emmerich for the Peace Walker project, one of three prototype AI weapons for Basilisk/Peace Walker. After Big Boss failed in stopping Coldman from relocating Basilisk's frame from the Mt. Irazu's facility via an airlift, Pupa entered the area from the roof and sped around, attacking Big Boss. Big Boss, with some help from Huey, managed to decomission the AI weapon.

Afterwards, Big Boss and the Militaires Sans Frontieres salvaged several parts from Pupa, including its Booster Engines, to create Metal Gear Zeke.

Trivia
