[Mr.Nice Guy]

This is a bit of a fantasy concept for MGS fans...

So with the economy being in a bad way you now find yourself working for a Gurlukovich-type who, though very well financed, is seeking yet more funds and is not afriad to hold the world to ransom in order to get them. He is, however, worried about being taken on by other nations and any operatives that may be sent his way. Here's where you come in...

He orders YOU to assemble a unit along the lines of FOXHOUND which can carry out his bidding and take care of any solo infiltrators who try to stop his plans. So who do you assemble?

To make it interesting, you can only take one of the Snake family tree members (i.e. not Liquid AND Solidus, just one of 'em). You can though have any character from the MGS universe regardless of the era and time is not a factor (i.e. characters from the Cold War period won't be old and grey ).

You can have a leader and five other members. Here's who I'd have...


Leader: Liquid Snake

Can match Solid or Big Boss in physical terms and has the ability to lead and inspire a group. He is my choice to lead the group.

Member 1: Gray Fox

A great soldier. I'll take him from before he became the ninja and went insane.

Member 2: Psycho Mantis

I think with his psychic powers he is a must-have.

Member 3: Eva

She is a top spy and would fit in well as long as she didn't try to boss Liquid around.

Member 4: Vulcan Raven

He's strong and very loyal so I think he would be required.

Member 5: Vamp

Has a habit of getting out of tough scrapes and I reckon would work well under Liquid's leadership.


So that would be my outfit. I know I've left out a few big names but I went for members that could be trusted. Can anyone make a better team than mine? Let's hear some ideas.

[Penn]

Nice idea.

Leader: The Boss

Tough choice between Boss and Big Boss, but I don't think Big Boss ever truly surpassed The Boss. Undoubtedly loyal, can command, can lead, can fight. She has it all.

Member 1: Psycho Mantis

Psychic powers second to none. Even controlled the B&B Corp and Screaming Mantis 9 years after his death. A must have.

Member 2: Grey Fox (MGS1)

While he may have been beaten by Solid Snake, he is still the perfect soldier. His respect for Snake is what caused his death. And if Fox hadn't just wanted a fist fight with Snake, he would have completely killed him in their fight.

Member 3: Sniper Wolf

Tough choice between her and The End, but I think Sniper Wolf is more adaptable to different situations and more focused. She could cover other team members better as The End would fall asleep.

Member 4: Raiden (MGS2)

In his MGS2 version, he would still know how to handle a sword like Grey Fox, so he'd be more of a Snake/Fox hybrid. Can sneak like Snake, can fight like Fox. And I think under the leadership of The Boss, he'd do really well.

Member 5: Ocelot

A dangerous call, and one that could be my downfall. Could never fully trust him, even under the command of The Boss. But for an all-round unit, you need a spy, and they don't come better than Ocelot.

Leader: Liquid Snake
As a leader I found him to be dedicated to a cause, even if it was a little one minded, and he had the ability to calculate and formulate the best plans.

Member 1: Psycho Mantis
As a right hand man Mantis has the power to control an army of subjects and also to break the will and minds of anyone he wishes. In many ways I think Mantis is perhaps more powerful then those he works under but simply allows them to remain in power because of the need for a certain amount of self control - also managed to escape Death

Member 2: Decoy Octopus
Always had a soft spot for Octopus despite his limited appearance on screen. Judging by his back history he would be someone who could easily infiltrate the ranks and obtain information when needed.

Member 3: Vulcan Raven
Brute force and strength, plus his ability to use that rail gun, mean he is a worthy ally on the field of battle and a good commander of troops

Member 4: Fatman
A bomb expert and someone who is a master of C4. What this guy doesn't know about blowing something up isn't worth knowing. Plus as an agent of the Patriots he has a connection

Member 5: Granin
A bit of a laugh, granted, but having a bitter old Soviet Scientist as tanked as they come would be mostly hilarious but he would serve a purpose as the brains behind a lot of ideas
