Metal Gear Timeline theory

Recommended Posts

OK, so. I've got a Timeline theory about Metal Gear, adding Zone of the Enders and one of my favourite films, The Boxtrolls, to the mix. The theory is complicated and some of you may not believe it, but it might make sense. Here we go. Spoilers beware.

 

1870: In the town of Cheesebridge, a boy named Eggs is apparently orphaned and is adopted by Boxtrolls, creatures that are discriminated against and being kidnapped by Archibald Penelope Snatcher(Also the name of a game by Hideo Kojima, Snatcher). Eggs develops box-hiding techniques with the Boxtrolls. Snatcher creates a steampunk machine using enslaved Boxtrolls, and inadvertently creates the very first Metal Gear. Snatcher dies in what is led to believe as a ''Horrific Cheese Accident''.

 

1890: The Boxtrolls go missing without a trace, as the incident of 1870 is spread across newspapers very quickly, the plans for the steampunk machine are picked up by an almost certain Mr.Granin. Eggs and Mr.Granin start the Patriots.

 

1935: Eggs grandson Jack Pliskin is born. And hides in Cardboard Boxes inheriting his grandfather's technique.

 

1940s: The Boss gives birth to Ocelot on the battlefield.

 

1957: The son of Mr Granin. Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin, uses the plans of Snatcher's machine to devise a Metal Gear. Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov, also is given a copy of the Metal Gear plans. And plagiarizes the Idea to create a nuke launching machine called the Shagohod.

 

1962: The Shagohod is commisioned amidst the space race.

 

1964: Operation Snake Eater commences. Jack Pliskin destroys the Shagohod and kills The Boss. Only for it to be revealed that The Boss was actually being used to gain part of the Philosopher's Legacy.

 

1972: David Pliskin and McDonnell Pliskin are born through Les Enfants Terribles, only David inherits his father's box hiding technique.

 

1974: Several Incidents occur in Cuba, involving Peace Walker and a group called XOF. Peace Walker and Metal Gear were copied off from Granin's plans.

 

1984: The events of MGSV take place.

 

1995: David Pliskin invades Outer Haven and destroys a prototype of Metal Gear MK I.

 

1999: David Invades Zanzibar and Destroys Metal Gear MK II, Gray Fox is presumed dead.

 

2005: David invades Shadow Moses and takes out the entirety of Foxhound to destroy the deadliest Metal Gear yet, REX. And makes a new nerd friend in the progress. Otacon.

 

2007: Metal Gear Ray Prototype is discovered on Tanker, thanks to Ocelot leaking info, Ocelot Escapes, having his hand transferred from Liquid's. He is now Liquid Ocelot. With Liquid's personality.

 

2009: Solidus initiates the S3 project to fool Raiden. And is Killed, as it is discovered the Patriots were dead since 1909.

 

2014: Snake is worried that he may die because of his genes. He kills Liquid Ocelot and shuts down an entire Military system.

 

2018: Raiden kills Armstrong in a similar incident to 2014.

 

2025: Solid Snake Dies of his disease.

 

So what do you think? It might be confusing and inaccurate but it might not be bad.

Last I remember, Solid Snake had about a 6 months or a year left after MGS4 so that last part can't be true. 

 

As one guy in the comment section said

"Guys, this game is like 6 years after MGS4, Snake had 6 MONTHS to live after MGS4, unless Kojima pulls a horrendous asspull, Snake is dead"

 

Also, McDonnell Plisken? I was assuming Liquid's real name was Eli this entire time

It said that it was ''Uncertain'' and that Six Months was the ''very least''. Anyways, I forgot to put ZOE in it.

 

1962: Way ahead of his time, Granin also designs Rex, Ray and Jehuty. Using Snatcher's original design document. Jehuty also had an advanced battle computer called ADA, billions of times more advanced than Human Intelligence. Using Moore's Law.

 

2172: Jehuty is found by orphan Leo Stenbuck and he reluctantly fights off Bahram, the organization from Mars who brutally beat up his best buddies and chained them up using a subsidiary in the UN(my theory on it).

 

2174: Jehuty is found by miner and ex Bahram member Dingo Egret, after being almost fatally shot by Nohman, Bahram's leader. Dingo is connected on Life Support. Jehuty destroys Aumaan. And Dingo is healed from his life support.

 

Miller's real name is Kazuhira, not McDonnell, so therefore it was made up by Liquid. Eli could be a possibility though.

And I'm not joking about the Boxtrolls either, it's a serious theory as they hide in boxes, just like Snake.

Thing is, he was also called McDonnell Miller in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, where he was still alive. The name change was due to a retcon on Kojima's part
