In any case, the Snake of PO is the same model of the one of MGS3, it's not a new incarnation like the one of PW, so there is no point in include him. Same for Raxa, that is a MG just by name, and not for what it is, just like the T-X and MG D. A MG is considered a real MG if can walk and can shoot warheads. Raxa can shoots warheads but cant walk, T-X cant walk and cant shoot, and MG D can walk but cant shoot. Actually, D and TX-55 CAN shoot, or at least were supposed to, and the schematics showed they carried and were fully capable of launching warheads. You're right about RAXA not being able to walk (the boss fight alone has RAXA using its repulsors to move about). The ICBMG might be able to walk due to Sokolov's description of it being a "walking tank," although even then it wasn't bipedal, which was necessary for Metal Gear. Yeah, they can shoot as reported in the schematics, but when Snake faces them, they are not in the condition to do it, that's why they are not considered in that picture.
