Metal Gear RAY (unmanned)

The mass-produced model of Metal Gear RAY was an unmanned amphibious Metal Gear, redesigned by the Patriots and the U.S. Navy from the original U.S. Marine model.

History
In 2007, the manned prototype of Metal Gear RAY, which was created by the U.S. Marine Corps, was stolen by Patriot agent Revolver Ocelot. The Patriots then had the U.S. Navy create 25 mass-produced Metal Gear RAY units in order to protect Arsenal Gear, a new type of Metal Gear that was also under construction by the Navy. Arsenal itself housed the GW AI that would control the RAY units.

In 2009, Arsenal Gear (which had been disguised as the Big Shell) was guarded by the 25 mass-produced RAY units. During Solidus Snake's takeover, the 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 the units went haywire due to the effects of GW becoming corrupted by a worm cluster.

In 2014, Outer Haven (Liquid Ocelot's personal warship) was armed with a number of mass-produced Metal Gear 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, 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.
