Armored Core 6 Players use the Popular Anime Franchise to Build Mechs
Armored Core 6 players are using the popular Gundam franchise to create powerful mechs. A Redditor and Armored Core 6 player, BusterSwordd posed their mech on the r/armoredcore subreddit which is influenced by the MSN-04 Sazabi from the game, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack. The mech is donning red color and has VE-42A legs, 07-061 Mind Alpha Arms, SG-027 Zimmerman L arm, and BML G2 Back Units that help the players survive in thrilling battles.
Another Redditor WhichConclusion2503 showed their creation inspired by Exia from Gundam in white, blue, and green. The Exia mech build has Moonlight Greatsword, Pulse Shield Launcher EUL E/60D, and Kasuar 44Z Head parts which players will be able to get as they progress further in the main campaign of the game.
Both the mech builds look absolutely stunning and fans praised the builds with one user saying,
“I love that those are basically Sazabi legs. Like, it isnt even just close, they ARE the Sazabi legs.”
Another user said,
“With Bandai Namco now owning both Gundam and Armored Core, I’d love some cross-content. Some Bandai made armored core kits? Absolutely. Some Gundam themed parts in AC6? Yes, please.”
