I'm not very good with editing and I'm afraid that I'd totally botch the page if I tried, but it's woefully incorrect and based off of internet lore more than unbiased fact. The game was designed by Dean Sharpe and Mike Ebert, who later went off to form Big Ape Studios.

It was not developed by NCS and it was not, at any point, called Assault Suits Gideon. The only other name it went by while in development was, "Battle Droids".

There's a little post on the forums of The Lost Levels (a pretty nice site that does lots of research into this stuff and debunks internet game myths) here: http://forums.lostlevels.org/viewtopic.php?t=389

[edit] Metal Warriors: The Phantom Menace

Something that I've observed (and I'm sure many others have as well) is that the Ballistic armor from the game bears more than a passing resemblance to the Destroyer Droids in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I don't know if you could say that Star Wars copied the game, since both are Lucasarts productions after all. But my question is: is this little tidbit significant enough to add to this article?

Speaking of meaningless aditions, is the fact it looks like a retouched carbon copy (gameplaywise and technologywise) of Cybernator notable? 200.255.137.221 18:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
