m31apollo: Metal Gear ST-84Sahelanthropus is an extinct hominine species possibly very close to the time of the chimpanzee-human divergence. This name is symbolic of all Metal Gear being the missing link between infantry and artillery, and this plays alongside its humanoid shape; the sahelanthropus is thought to be a likely candidate for the missing link between human and ape. Sahelanthropus was also the first and only Metal Gear to stand upright and walk in a humanoid manner, furthering the theme of evolution. It is also widely believed that the reason the sahelanthropus went extinct was because they happened to live in an area filled with the most venomous snakes of the time period, likening them to its destruction at the hands of Venom Snake. -- source link
