I would like to request a core that looks as much as possible like the Megazord from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

edit: sword and shield as primary weapons for maximum emulation.

Swords are left hand only and shields are left shoulder only, though you could go empty handed in the right and some thing small on the right shoulder too?

Also again, I love everyone's enthusiasm, but can we maybe try to steer the requests away from referencey stuff for the time being. This is Let's Play Armored Core VI, not Let's Play Your Favorite Mecha Anime Dress Up Game, please. We got the Gundam out of the way up front already, let's try to leave it there.

Honestly I don't know enough about the game and it systems so all I can suggest is going crazy with the paintjobs and bling the AC's up as much as possible.
Visual war crimes is the vibe I want and demand.

Hmm. But have you considered more Gundam as it's always better? I may or may not have just finished my first playthrough with my AC constantly painted like a Nemo from Zeta Gundam.

Gundam is extremely overrated imo and I'd rather just see the cool stuff this game has to offer than seeing it molded into yet another direct gundam reference.
And if you really need to reference stuff, there's plenty of other mech anime to draw inspiration from.

Okay, but when you consider that Shoji Kawamori designed about a third of the mecha featured in the latest Gundam series, that argument kinda falls flat. Some of them practically are just ACs:



He's also responsible for actual Gundam designs dating back as far as 1991. The two franchises are pretty inextricably linked by that common thread.

:shrug: I guess those get a pass then?

Alternate take: just make cool robits to fight stuff with instead of setting out to make the loving horse Gundam.
If convergent evolution makes it end up looking like a Gundam I guess the Gundam designers managed to make a cool design.

Okay, we have a LOT of black spaces to fill in with colours. Also the JOSO is not powerful enough to power the laser cannon, so we have two options: habituallyred, do you consent to the JOSO being swapped in for the VP-20S. If not, Dukes Mayo Clinic and AtomikKrab, decide between yourselves on a consensus pick for an alternate L and/or R Back weapon loadout.

Fifth colour on the AC frame is still up for grabs, as are colours 3, 4, and 5 on the flame pattern. If anyone wants to spice up the weapons selection, that is still open as well.

I've also begun plastering it with corporate logos, including an over abundance of Dafeng logos to just weird the poor Tester AC pilot out.

I’m more amused by the JOSO than the laser cannon and would accept either DUO-02 or nothing in exchange.

That is a great scheme right from the start. I'll second the vote for a Duo-2 over a generator change.

So the JOSO is so weak it literally precludes any back weapons period on this frame build. So this is it, it is complete.

I'd be mad about what the weathering did to the paint scheme... if this wasn't powered by a glorified tractor engine. Hobo with a Shotgun is my proposal for a name. Never seen the movie but the name fits.

The NACHTREIHER/40E core isn't helping, either. The core affects how much EN you have to work with, the Generator Output Adj. stat is a multiplier on your generator's output. So not only are you running a tractor engine, you're running .91x of a tractor engine.

I think, even after a few buffs, the Nachtreiher is still second worst in this regard, but I could be wrong. That's not to say it's bad, it's armor and AP are pretty good for its weight and it looks cool, the other ultralight option is -way- more flimsy.

I think it's a combination of the brown base layer of the flame pattern blending with the rust-coloured weathering choices. I've scaled the weathering back a tiny bit on the finalized version to let the pattern come through a tiny bit better, as will be seen when the video is ready later on.

Anyway, now that we have a baseline of a super energy-sucky core and boosters strapped to a tractor engine:



We need weapons loadouts for our next slate of missions.

In Video 4 were are going to be:
  • blowing up some power generators
  • attacking a big pick up truck
  • climbing a wall

Arm this pile of poo poo, Thread-2-1.

E: feel free to consider a wider range of options for the first mission. It's a special case, that one.
