This is SO good! Seeing the TX-55 in action like this soothes the perpetual phantom pain… This MSX MG adaptation continues to be an exceptional effort!
I like to think that Metal Gear TX-55 was trying to reverse engineer Huey’s schematics of ZEKE and Sahlenthropus, which is why it looks less like the MGs we’ve seen before MG1
I like to think that Madnar preferred to base his work after the tried and tested D-Walker (essentially creating a nuclear version of it) rather than after a machine that didn't even work on its own (Sahelanthropus). Hell, in my headcanon Huey probably took credit for the miniaturization technology from Madnar's earlier work, just like he did with Sokolov's and Granin's designs.
I always like this metal gear better, the flaw of the old metal gears is that they we're too slow and large when it came to fighting smaller opponents. Big boss had it made more like a tank, has he had no desire to launch nukes as it didn't need the function. Entire point of Zanzibar Land was to make the world see him as a target.
Metal gear Rex was the improved version of all those previous metal gears because thanks to Hal help but he regrets the truth on what it was used for when he meet snake as for Metal gear Ray it was built to be universal on both land and sea then they realised that bigger nukes is too heavy so they decided to fit mini nukes in the launcher but they fail to work because you need a whole faster network to launch them in a series and got downgraded from nuke to fighting tanks instead but never used to fire a nuke
The Sahlenthropus was flawed because it couldn't stand without the power of Psycho Mantis, the TX-55 despite goofy looking it was able to walk on 2 legs
@@markhamilton3215 are they working on a remake for the first Metal Gear? That makes me happy to hear if true. We don't need a MGS remake, but a remake of the first Metal Gear? Now that would be dope. But still, if that never happens, we have this Stellar animation that is telling the story in such a stylized, loving and condensed manner

Never thought I'd see the TX-55 look so menacing without a major redesign. Seeing it slimmed down a bit and leaping around like a freak is exactly what we need. Love the soundtrack choice, by the way. You are clearly a man of culture.
This soothes my brain so much, all I could think after MGSV is "If Sahelanthropus was already a thing, what can this thing do besides remind me vaguely of REX?" Be really fast. Like *scary* fast. Taking out all those combatants so quickly is impressive, and the jump height and run speed and even turning speed are terrifying. It even puts REX's Street Fighter Mode to shame. And knowing it's a prototype of Metal Gear D makes me wonder what *that* was capable of. These animations are glorious even if they make me ask if Club Penguin is canon in Metal Gear, thank you for these.
@@MitchellHammond Apparently these deep cuts were too deep for me, lol never knew about Penguin Adventure until you had me curious enough to look it up. Again, thank you for keeping the OGs alive
There's a lot of positive things I'd like to say but I'll focus on the portrayal of MG. It's awesome, even terrifying. In the context of the series, TX-55 is not the coolest Gear ever but it's still incredibly dangerous and this animation shows why. I also really like that instructions on how to surrender were given through the animation on a video screen. Metal Gear can be deployed against any army from any country, speaking different languages, but the meaning behind this cartoon can be understood by everyone. Really enjoyed this work!
Thanks Cellar, exactly I wanted anybody regardless of language to hopefully follow what's going on so good catch. I won't lie it was difficult trying to figure out how to have a penguin tell a mercenary to drop their weapons haha.
It's funny to see this now, I was having a chat with a buddy of mine the other day about why having legs alone makes Metal Gear more dangerous. This animation demonstrates the versatility of MG's legs perfectly, and in a few ways that not even Rex, Ray, or Sahelanthropus did.
Many critique sahelantropus for being too "modern" of a design, however whan many fail to understand was that Sahelantropus was 24m tall when standing upright, Peace Walker in bipedal mode was huge, 25m tall and the ZEKE would be around the same height as those two... These machines were huge, probably in order to accomodate the nuclear launcher (Peace Walker) due to being made with parts form the Peace Walker AI-Weapons (ZEKE) and in order to be a large walking bomb (Sahelantropus). What many forgot is that Sahelantropus is the pinnacle of Granin designs, if we take a look at Granin's designs they are basically showing the Metal Gear REX, that's no coincidence. "Huey" Emmerich was given this designs and used them as basis that's why ZEKE is very "REX" looking, and that's the reason behind Sahelantropus's head and "folded" pose. The TX-55 was tiny in comparison 6.05m, it was a miniaturization of the concept of Metal Gear, an attempt at the concept by a new developer, one who probably never even touched Granin's designs, his sole interaction with the idea probably being the wreck of the Sahelantropus, the Battle Gear and Walker Gear. This new developer was tasked or saw the Sahelantropus as to big, and complex, as such he was drawn to the Walker Gear, he enlarged it and improved it's mobility, however armor to the legs had to be sacrificed, that's why there is little armor in the legs in both the TX-55 and Metal Gear D.
That’s basically my process. TX-55 in my Headcanon was made to be produced cheaply and quickly, with less complex components. All the power of previous MG’s, at half the cost and production time
@@morsecode980intersting headcanon, to which i find myself in agreement. another theory as to why the TX-55 is "simplistic" compared to previous designs is that Outer Heaven didn't have the capacity to produce extremely complex metal gears like Rex, Sahelanthropus and Peace Walker however, your headcanon does have some lore support albeit in the form of a Non-canon game, Snake's revenge, in that game there were mass produced metal gears, called Metal Gear 1 (VRC-4) which is basically the TX-55 with very limited modifications. mass produced metal gears which snake destroyed by blowing up the ship they were on.
@@averageanimeenjoyer0275 In canonical lore, the designer of TX-55, Dr. Madnar, was also from the Soviet Union/Russia like Granin and also Sokolov, designer of the Shagohod from MGS3. To expand a little more on my headcanon, I assumed Madnar probably became familiar with both Sokolov and Granin’s research since he too was a robotics engineer. My imaginary “Chapter 3” of MGSV would introduce Madnar as being XOF’s 2nd choice for a Metal Gear designer after losing Huey Emmerich. XOF wants Madnar to quickly come up with a replacement for Sahelanthropus after it was hijacked by Eli/Liquid, so Madnar starts research on what would later become TX-55 and Metal Gear D. XOF, who had been hiding out in a secret front facility in South Africa since Skull Face’s death, are forced out of hiding by Diamond Dogs and defeated. When DD take over the facility and discover Madnar and his work, they have him continue under them. Cue the creation of Outer Heaven and TX-55, lol.
Sahelantropus also wasnt truly functional. Huey mentioned that the AI system needed for bipedal walking wouldnt fit into it and I think somewhere else its hinted at, that its nowhere near as agile. Only because of Mantis it was able to work.
The icing on the cake? Imagine the context of how dangerous both Solid Snake and Big Boss are KNOWING THEY DESTROYED THESE METAL GEARS ALMOST SINGLE-HANDEDLY. Great animation please keep this up!
@@executiverobbery theres no metal gear in peacewalker that he personally destroys. youre thinking of the extra ops where he fights an AI controlled zeke which never actually happens as in ground zeros zeke is still on board motherbase before skullface destroys presumably it along with the base. So it actually sounds like you never played peacewalker tbh
@@mc-kq6yd Metal Gear Zeke is hijacked by Paz in the final Peace Walker ending, therefore you as Big Boss, have to destroy it so that she doesn't launch another nuke. It is clearly mentioned that they rebuild Zeke afterwards and ask you to fight it again, which is the extra op you mentioned.
@@executiverobbery he doesnt destroy it though? he damages it, he only "destroys" a metal gear in the extra op where you fight the zeke again in post game content which isnt canon. Big boss has fought a metal gear but he has never destroyed one. Unless you wanna be nitpicky and call the unfinished part of 5 canon which is just being pedantic. Again I think you didnt play peacewalker since you can just quickly google this and see they mention clearly zeke needed to be repaired not rebuilt.
I love that you take this tx-55 and you make it a terrifing metal gear , this model its scarier that ST-84 Metal Gear Sahelanthropus because ST-84 was basictly a metal gear to slow and too heavy to operate, but this TX-55 looks soo flexible, its like a gigantic version of a Gekko in MGS4
It really does seem a lot more like the technological precursor to Rex and Ray given how fluidly both metal gears moved (even Rex in a damaged and unmaintained state was surprisingly agile and dangerous)
You’re pretty good! I love seeing how this Metal Gear is so mobile, despite having the most “basic” design out of all of them. Sahelanthropus was the most advanced looking, but was practically inoperable without Psycho Mantis, so this is a lot more accurate for what could be achieved in the 90s of this universe.
This is so great! In the mgs games before mg1 in the timeline you look at the metal gears of those games and think "These are way more impressive than the ones in later games, they also seem so advanced!" And in mg1 the metal gear was more talked about than showed of with it's abilities, the only real defenses it had in the original was some security cameras! But this wonderfully shows how the tx55 was way more developed and advanced than the previous metal gears, and how dangerous it truly is! Not only that but this vid has GORGEOUS animation, direction, and action! It looks like it was done by a professional team! This came out wonderfully!
Incredible as always. 😁👌 I did not see MG telling a soldier to drop his weapons with an animation coming at all, almost adorable if it wasn't terrifying 🤣
Dude the way you animated the Metal Gear..... its so damn buttery smooth, beautiful, AND intimidating all at the same time. You took a hulking, derpy, old-school-ass looking mecha and turned it into the living mechanical nightmare Kojima envisioned without a doubt. Questionable combat decision-making from the combatants aside (not exactly uncommon in MG/S), Konami would be blessed to have you featured or part of a potential future remake... in any capacity.
How do you stay on model so well? I had to look frame by frame to notice some parts were slightly off if it were a 3D. it's so smooth and well done that at first I thought this was stylized 3D. If this is all 2D drawings like I think then this is mind blowing to me.
One of the best metal gear animations I’ve ever seen such smooth animation and the art style godly hope you have a great career in animation because you are amazing P.S. my favorite part 1:03 - 1:36
I am seriously proud of you, Mitchell. This artwork and animation is top-tier, man. I just hope that there's more to come. Have an outstanding year in 2023!
As someone who's started to dabble in fan animations, this just floors me. I did a short W40K anim (which was mostly stills anyway), so I can imagine the amount of effort that's been put into this. Absolutely amazing work. So cool.
big boss had gone off the rails, although the world at mgs4's period wasn't the best, it would probably be much worse if metal gear hadn't been destroyed.
That was so fucking cool! But also, damn that machine is actually TERRIFYING. I dunno if it's lore-accurate for it to be so agile and fast n able to jump like that, but shit that is so damn cool. Imagine if such technology were real.
@medykgranie ya such a dissapointment they couldn't get it complete. Iirc they juat didnt iron out the kinks in time? So it was made static and given lore that it was incomplete. A lil sad.
Oh ok. I didntknow it was the hardware limitations. Or maybe I did n just forgot. Hey I appreciate you 2 up there for correcting me and still being nice about it. I appreciate you guys.
I love seeing the TX-55 in action. I know it was probably because of hardware limitations and inexperience, but it's a shame we never got to see it move until this.
I’ve been following this project for years and I gotta say, it looks better every time I see it. The attention to detail in everything lore-wise is so amazing. Fantastic work!
This looks phenomenal!!! I find a lot of fan animations to be a little clunky/off (which is understandable given how hard it is), but this perfectly nails the look and feel. Huge props.
That's honestly one of the best animation I have ever seen, the way that the Metal Gear moves is so smooth and incredible. You have so much talent man.
I have always believed tanks would have a place in a world of mechs. Tanks generally are designed to bring the biggest feasible guns to bear in a fight while having excellent frontal protective from peer threats. Tanks are NOT designed for knife fighting highly maneuverable targets at close range. In my opinion in the world of mechs tanks would largely look the same doctrinally. A tracked vehicle with a turreted weapon that has firepower superior to more mobile vehicles and a muzzle velocity that makes the vehicles main weapon almost unavoidable to dodge by mechs. Also enough armor/ an Active Protection System that makes frontal engagement by an adversary a very bad idea and you would create a niche for mechs as a vehicle designed to excel in urban use, flanking maneuvers, and using data linked indirect fire weaponry. This would allows tanks to realistically exist in this world as something that evolved alongside mechs where each has their forte. What are y'alls thoughts?
Thats how tanks work in Battletech and Heavy Gear. While in BT tanks are less mobile and easier to cripple than mechs they are FAR cheaper but in Heavy Gear the mobility favors the mechs even more and tanks are typically juggernaut armored units with more armor and guns.
Awesome man you’re really incredible this is so cool!! I just stumbled on your videos and loved them I read the posts on your community tab and am sorry to hear people have been disrespectful but please don’t get discouraged keep up the awesome work. I can’t wait to see the finished product!!

This looks phenomenal!!! I find a lot of fan animations to be a little clunky/off (which is understandable given how hard it is), but this perfectly nails the look and feel. Huge props.
So thats when dutch decided to start a mercenary company in Roanapur
Been following this project for a while now, absolutely amazing animation! Fantastic work. The level of detail in the movement is impressive!
Silly, serious and badass. As Kojima intended.
That's honestly one of the best animation I have ever seen, the way that the Metal Gear moves is so smooth and incredible. You have so much talent man.
This is so fucking dope! Really cool to see the finished product after all these years.
Incredible job! You are a treasure to the Metal Gear community.
So this is what Outer Ops looks like in detail.
Holy shit you made this?? THIS IS AMAZING!
Outstanding work as always! Cant wait for more. Well done.
wow that got a lot more brutal than anticipated, but overall a awesome action sequence that's been animated very well
Anyone who's seen the anime that song is from would disagree with you. It's actually tamer than I thought it would be.
I always wanted to see tx-55 in action. Thank you a lot!
Wow, such a good choice for music! Cant wait to see final version with sound effects!
Animation looks great! And that hype Genocyber music works well for this
I like he obeyed Geneva Convention unlike me in MGSV
Yo the animation for this video is dope as hell plus it is awesome to see the og metal gear in action
I like how you made also a reference from Penguin Adventure, the first ever video game Kojima worked
This is the most impressive piece of animations i have ever seen from a fan anywhere from any series
Absolutely phenomenal in every way. An incredible effort.
This is some really impressive work. Well done!
It's really cool finally seeing a Metal Gear in action as it was intended(on the battlefield) and why it's such a threat.
damn dude, this looks great! your artstyle is amazing. it deserves more views!!
The Genocyber soundtrack fits so well.
Just adding some SFXs, and it would be perfect.
I have always believed tanks would have a place in a world of mechs. Tanks generally are designed to bring the biggest feasible guns to bear in a fight while having excellent frontal protective from peer threats. Tanks are NOT designed for knife fighting highly maneuverable targets at close range. In my opinion in the world of mechs tanks would largely look the same doctrinally. A tracked vehicle with a turreted weapon that has firepower superior to more mobile vehicles and a muzzle velocity that makes the vehicles main weapon almost unavoidable to dodge by mechs. Also enough armor/ an Active Protection System that makes frontal engagement by an adversary a very bad idea and you would create a niche for mechs as a vehicle designed to excel in urban use, flanking maneuvers, and using data linked indirect fire weaponry. This would allows tanks to realistically exist in this world as something that evolved alongside mechs where each has their forte. What are y'alls thoughts?
Thats how tanks work in Battletech and Heavy Gear.
While in BT tanks are less mobile and easier to cripple than mechs they are FAR cheaper but in Heavy Gear the mobility favors the mechs even more and tanks are typically juggernaut armored units with more armor and guns.
These choices for music are amazing, gotta subscribe
amazing work, this scene is made that much more amazing with the addition of effects and music!!!! i hope you keep your motivation :)
This is absolutely gorgeous, I've always wondered how the TX-55 would behave and move in combat and this seems to fit perfectly
Genocyber OST when...
Ohhhhh I recognize that Genocyber OST from anywhere.
This is amazing work!!! Can't wait for the full release. Keep up the good work.
I love every single frame of your work, keep it up!
Oh, hey! Genocyber!
Awesome animation. Shootout briefly made me think of Akira/Jin-roh, albeit those are a bit more gruesome.
Fantastic vision and execution
Wow it’s so smooth and detailed, your a master man!
Outstanding work. Thank you.
Amazing! That right there is why you're the best Mitch, the one and only!
Awesome man you’re really incredible this is so cool!! I just stumbled on your videos and loved them I read the posts on your community tab and am sorry to hear people have been disrespectful but please don’t get discouraged keep up the awesome work. I can’t wait to see the finished product!!
God this amazing animation just wants me to see a remake of MG1 and MG2.
And I'd loved it even more if they fulton extracted you to help develop the cutscenes for it.
This animation is so good that i never get tired from watching it
This is what I imagine the Diamond Dogs Combat Unit is getting up to with the Battle Gear when Venom Snake sends them on dispatch missions
This shows you just how dangerous the msx metal gear was
Sick animations my dude.
God Damn! I can't wait to see more of what you're cooking!
awsome work love it
I wish Hideo could see this.
this gets my blood pumping! amazing animation
