Metal Gear EXCELSUS was a multi-legged Metal Gear  that was developed around 2016. EXCELSUS was hexapedal, with additional secondary devices mounted at the front, containing retractable blades, and a head with two large plasma cannons. The entrance into the machine as well as the cockpit was an egg-shaped elevator platform. The cockpit itself, similar to REX , utilized holograms and VR  environments to allow the pilot to operate, as it was completely enclosed. Its controls amounted to some pedals as well as a small controller resembling a game controller. EXCELSUS is also capable of tunneling, as evidenced by its emergence from the Shabhazabad air base in Pakistan. In addition, it was designed to be able to bulldoze through urban environments, which Doktor commented was overkill. Like RAY  before it, EXCELSUS was not designed as a nuclear launch platform. When SOP  and the Patriots  fell following the Guns of the Patriots IncidentPMCs  acted on the development of what had been previously suppressed cyborg technology. The result was an abundance of cyborgs in the armies of PMCs. Due to the advantage of cyborgs  capable of making decisions like other humans, the small unmanned gears such as the Gekko  units were generating less favor in regards to urban combat. In response, AT Corp  did a 180-degree turn and returned to develop a larger UG capable of overpowering cyborgs and tearing a path through urban terrain using its sheer size. It was also built in part to ensure a decrease in civilian casualties, as the weapon was deliberately designed to be massive to ensure that all but trained guerrilla fighters evacuated the premises when it was sighted. The result was a new Metal Gear codenamed "EXCELSUS", meaning "high" or "lofty," as well as being a species name of the Apatosaurus dinosaur. The vehicle was not armed with a nuclear weapon, instead being designed for the purpose of asymmetrical warfare in light of cyborg development. Although initially designed to be a UG, the final design required a pilot. Unlike other Metal Gears, its development was not top-secret, even being the basis of several news reports, causing some to speculate whether they could be sold. Even though it lacked nuclear armaments, it was still referred to as a Metal Gear, primarily because it was redefined as being a large-scale weapon to differentiate it from UG-class walkers, due to nuclear deterrence becoming obsolete and people preferring weapons that could actually kill other people. Raiden's support team speculated that this was probably also simply for marketing reasons, as calling EXCELSUS a Metal Gear would make it sell better .
