This is old news to hardcore fans, but I have been too busy to post. Should be asleep right now as it is… New footage of some of the bosses in MGS4 is out and about on the Web. If you like spoilers, check out the four beastly bionic beauties of the Beauty and the Beast Unit in action: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, GC 2007 Direct Feed Trailer.

It is obviously no coincidence that their special forms are based on animals that previous MGS bosses were named for. Raven, Wolf, Octopus, and Mantis. There is always a connecting thread between episodes of this game series. (Also MGS2’s Raiden has apparently stepped into another previous wolf’s (Grey Wolf) shoes.)

There’s also a featurette about the real actresses that modeled for these characters: Beauty and the Beast Featurette.
