I have just made this discovery. Shagohod is MGS3's Metal Gear as seen here:

There are no tank tracks, Although it can be used as a tank.

As Seen in the 2004 GC Trailer near the end, Shagohod is seen coming towards. No tracks behind. You can also hear that it makes a sound like air blowing out when it shows it driving straight at the camera.

Max speed of Shagohod is 60KPH, I don't think a tank can do that.

Anyone else agree with me or no?

To a certain degree yes I do believe it is a hovercraft. But I don't think that is what it is fully capable of. If you notice in the TGS2k4 trailer, it shows the Shagohod walking. Which obviously means this thing is some type of transformer.

Hmm, I wish we could get to control a MG in one of the games. But hey Spilner welcome!

Yeah, Looks like a Transformer, but it is definetly a hovercraft now that you see it.

It's a big possibility. I have a feeling though, for like long stretches of road it will hover around to get around faster. But when fighting or about to launch it will stand up so there is no bad recoil.

possibly 2 different stages of fighting for it?

hovering
walking

kind of like how you fought REX except instead of

Radome
Cockpit
