MG REX?

Anyone else curious as to why that metal gear resembles REX from MGS1 so much. If you think back to MGS3 it was Ocelot who stole the data from Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin. Maybe this is there first attempt at Granin's design for a bipedal tank with a rail gun. I cant remember if Zeke had one or not. Haven't played Peace Walker in some time.

If you look closely the head/cockpit looks to be almost identical to REX's.

MG REX
http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111002140061/metalgear/images/3/35/Metal_Gear_Rex_Pict_1_%28Metal_Gear_Solid_2_The_Document_of%29.jpg

The only real noticeable difference I can tell from the image we have been given is that the MG shown in the trailer seems to have more narrow legs.

If not to be mint as a pre curser to REX then why would they use practically the same cockpit design and weapon placement.

It's defiantly not TX55; which was still in construction 1995. I hope someone doesn't claim otherwise. It's probably an upgraded ZEKE; which was probably stolen off screen during the attack.
Is Hideo Kojima of gay descent?

Most likely. Either it was damaged during the attack on mother base and repaired/modified with Granin's designs in mind or Zeke was destroyed and this is a new model in development.

Zeke was at the bottom of the sea when the attack at MSF was.

If you look at the area it is in it looks exactly like the room from Peace Walker where we were building ZEKE. Maybe this is the underwater location and
Skull Face has kept it and continued to modify it?
The head is definitely the same as REX, maybe a bit smaller but it's hard to tell from the range we're looking at it.

I don't think they're gonna make the TX-55 look like it did in MG since it was a horrible design and the earlier models look more advanced...could you imagine a TX-55 redone with those shitty legs? hahaha just think of it walking all straight legged trying to be scary

Doubt they'd be driving trucks underwater.

I think its Zeke but has been modified by XOF.. either that or its a new Metal Gear. Its definitely not Rex or TX-55 or D for that matter since all of them were at least ten years away from being built.

This. You can look at it from a different perspective, though. REX's design was based a lot on ZEKE. So, this could be an "alpha" model version of REX. It's not THE REX, though. It's still ZEKE. :)

Tbh I dont even care really. REX is my fav out of all the MG's so I'm pretty fine with the idea that its possibly a REX prototype.

But I still think its Zeke simply fitted/upgraded with new parts.

Zeke was at the bottom of the sea when the attack at MSF was.
It was hidden from the inspection and could have perfectly survived the destruction of MSF from which it was recovered by XOF who started modifying it with current technology.

yeah im over it. its obvious by now kojima wants to remake MGS entirely to minimize solid and liquids impact in the series and make BB the focus. he cant stop me from enjoying mgs1/2 and ignoring everything after it storywise :)
