Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
One is solid metal

The other is just a regular gear

The protagonist I think. Metal gear solid follows solid snake where as the other metal gears follow other characters.

Metal Gear is in 2D, Metal Gear Solid is in 3D.

I believe their logic was something like "Now with polygons, it's solid!"

Metal Gear Solid is when Snake gets hard. Normal Metal Gear is when he's flacid.
