Salethanthropus-UAM, or SAHE-UAM for short is a Metal Gear Sahelanthropus, which is unmanned, but has a optional system for a pilot. He is part of the illegal UAM (Unmanned and manned) project, which was cancelled after a raid by the FOXHOUND forces. However, SAHE-UAM has been Sucessfully stored in a ship which escaped. He was the second known Metal Gear featured in the project aside from REX-UAM.

Personality[]
SAHE-UAM is what can be considered a “rouge”, as it seems he doesn’t obey orders, even the ones of his own creators. He also sometimes helps other Metal Gears
Abilities[]
Archaea grenades[]
SAHE-UAM is capable of deploying clouds of metallic archaea, immediately disabling most technologies in an area. Small arms and archaea-manipulation platforms are left unaffected, but all forms of vehicles - land-based or airborne - are rendered inoperable by the cloud.
Archaea blades[]
He has a pair of flexible nano blades lined with archaea manipulators. They are capable of either directly damaging metals that they come in contact with, or stimulating the metals in the soil to create metallic pylons that effectively function as remote mines. However, it requires the arms to be in optimal condition for best use, as otherwise, it will take a significantly long time to charge if damaged.
Surveillance mines[]
Hunter-killer probes that are capable of searching independently for targets, and relaying the results to SAHE-UAM. Once a target is identified, these probes function as self-guided anti-tank rockets.
High-mobility feet[]
SAHE-UAM could use it’s feet to trample nearby enemies, and could even kick Soviet tanks with ease.
Guided missile launchers[]
He had Conventional multi-wavelength guided anti-tank rockets, and can fire barrages of them up to six at a time.
Twin Gatling guns[]
Mounted on the head unit, twin gatling guns (caliber unspecified) are used as a multi-purpose primary weapon.
Railgun[]
A high-powered prototype railgun capable of penetrating mountainsides to strike targets on the far side. This weapon requires a spotter to find targets, as the targeting solution is lost if the target is able to break line of sight, and SAHE-UAM needs to enter in a “REX mode” to fire it while not knocking itself over.
Frontline Flamethrower[]
He had a Flamethrower in the “groin” area to douse everything underneath in flames.
Trivia[]
- SAHE-UAM and REX-UAM are currently the only ones in the UAM project that have been fully discovered.
- He was teased in the LOTM server some days ago.
