I've said it before and i'll say it again: 617 was badass

The only flaw of this AC is it's internal parts: switching them out with the YABA generator, Second-gen Furlong FCS with balanced performance and that booster with max boost thurst. I've tried it out, and it's not bad at all. The weapons are just fine, in my opinion.

I always thought it was G1 michigan

shout out to the MT firing away like his life depends on it.

i find it odd that this uses the ocellus over the NGI 001 FCS, unless the build can't support it.

It sure feels like the standard loader 4 upgraded with more guns and a different helmet. But what bugs me is the fact he has at the same time an SMG and assault rifle equipped on the right. With something like a laser/plasma cannon, he could do more damage. Well, i think, anyway. Still, as the poster mech of the game, he's quite good.

Am I just stupid for calling him “Noh-Sack”instead of “No-Zark?”

Hey, glip, you gonna make more or are you done?

Your skill, my good raven, has just earned you a well deserved sub.

Can i just say that some of the RLF soldiers sound a bit too young?...yeah, think about that.

Now I dare you to do this mission but with all 3 of them attacking. All three of them can attack you on this mission. 👀

The MT got balls against charteruse

One has to wonder why they made the KRSW in the first place. A hybrid laser/plasma gun coupled with a 2-charge system is good, even strong on paper, but like you said, it chews through its ammo reserve worse than the cylinder magazine of a minigun. Tragic irony... But the transcriber is a good AC, if the shield was changed for anything else, that is.

In general, putting "alpha" on something means it's the first step of creation. Sure, sometimes, it's not perfect by any means but it can be a good surprise. Like, with this AC, swapping its weapons can render him more efficient in combat. Like, say, a plasma rifle on the right arm, maybe a homing missile launcher on the left shoulder, one of the inner parts upgraded and add a defensive expansion. On another point, he reminds me of the classic power suit used in the metroid series, especially the helmet and shoulders.

Well done! Great video :]

isnt it more orange? like from the close up shot before raven used AA?

I'm guessing this is the original Gun13 before 621 gets to have the name. We can see that those parts he's using all came from Balam.

Handler : Wait, 621 ... 617 : I already said i'm NOT 621 !!

im surprised that Gordos ac can is just a simple yet lightweight ac.

I love your commentary and insights on all these - they really helped me understand *why* some of these pre-made ACs seemed to suck so hard despite being in the hands of highly skilled pilots. In particular, your ability to see when a mech was legitimately solid despite being low-ranked, or to find the weaknesses in high-ranked ones, or even see possible plot reasons for the flaws - like Mind Alpha being ALLMIND just slapping every expensive piece of tech it could onto an AC and building something that wasn't all that good, or Rusty's Rubiconian loyalties leading to him mounting underperforming gear instead of using equipment from Arquebus. I'm curious - have you considered finding ways to improve some of these pre-made ACs while keeping their iconic character? You often bring up how an AC has the wrong Reactor for the job, or how it has a mismatched FCS, or just synergizes its tools poorly. I'd love to see what you could do to make, for instance, an "Aster Crown Mk.II" or a "Trainer AC Upgrade."

Awesome builds!

The MTs doing their best and shooting at them while you fight them is so funny

Impressive 1st gen killer action🎉

I tries to copy this on Formula andront,but it turns out it become a CREST Biped wit mine dispenser as an inside part,shield on left arm and shoulders,and lineargun on the back. I forgot to add the shotgun so...😂

I could definitely see this as the test unit for the Vermeil legs and bomb thrower before equipping them to Michigan's Liger Tail. Basic BALAM weapons and AC parts, mixed with the prototype quad legs and explosive thrower getting sent out for a test run.

619 and 620 when?

What is the weapon the left hand? I still don’t know what it is.

619 always had the grit to be a Raven. Their luck simply ran out first.

Wait 617 had a missile rack not cannon?

The funny thing is, the 'bot don't use actual fire-oriented weapons despite his name. With something like the napalm bomb launcher, he could deal some serious damage and yes, his fcs and generator could be way better then what he has. That said, the weapons are not so bad, the basho is a good all-rounder AC and his industrial color scheme is nice too. So personnaly, i like it. Simply because of his engineer-type feeling.

I love Dizzy

14:10 😮that was a close one

Very creative❤

What about the orange Schneider AC?

MS being the worst is an understatement indeed. Only 2 weapons, no backup in any form and virtually no way to hit at long range. But like everything in the game, there are many ways to improve him and turn it into an effective demolisher. For instance, remove the chainsaw and change his right weapon, put some guns on the rear, swap the fcs and generator for something more useful, add an attack or defense expansion and voilà.

Honestly, the first i saw this menacing machine, i didn't thought to be at the same time fast, strong and deadly. But then, when you see his weapons, expansion and combat style located between a soldier and an assassin, he's quite impressive. *scoff* No wonder why the pilot is called coldcall and his AC deadsled. Fitting for someone intelligent but ruthless.

That's what happens when you put a psychopath joker-style in the seat of a strange fusion between the constructicon scrapper from ROTF and a fire/ground type pokemon like groudon. Basically a tank armed to the teeth, but vicious and cunning like a starved beast on the hunt. Yeesh...

To be honest, you have to give something to iguazu : he's quite persistant, like some of the rivals in pokemon games. More seriously, i find his AC not so bad. And like you said, his shield cripple him being a quick and reactive damage-dealer. If it's swapped for, say, a plasma cannon or a second missile launcher like red did and add the pulse protection expansion, that would be more efficient.

I'd imagine they had more weapons that were not shown. Hakra in particular feels like the type to wield the explosive thrower as to keep up pressure on enemies via area denial.

Didn't know there was a stealth mech on that mission

Technically speaking, the hermit is more like an aerial assault specialist than anything else, like a F22 raptor with head, arms and legs. Plus, the camo paintjob is just perfect. But being not much of a pistol lover myself, it would have been better with a AR like the SCUDDER and maybe a laser blade on the left arm. But that's just a personal preference, nothing more. Also, like you said, if the fcs and generator were swapped for something else, that would be much better.

If those 3 ACs have a name, they would be... Blackjack (Bipedal AC), Aquamarine (Quad AC), and YellowJacket (Reverse Joint AC).

Lore accurate freud

I believe that is an early Michigan

i know i'm waay late to the video, but just wanted to add this, after replaying that section in the reveal trailer multiple times, kinda sad that it's booster is trailer exclusive as you can see briefly around 1:32-1:34, but, considering the shape of the booster on it's leg that you could also see in the same timestamp, i would say p04 would make a good fit as it's kinda similar with them

Some may not agree with me on this one, but i think this AC reminds me of the T-51b power armor from fallout. Of course, it's a more bulked up version of the armor in question who can fly, dodge and attack way faster. Not to mention his tank-like design, too. And like you said, with other guns and upgrades, he can become much stronger.

5:58 Kindly =D

Aside from the fact that this AC model has almost the same guns as loader 4, it's kinda funny you managed to make the literal "training dummy" of the game. But don't get me wrong, as seen with your gameplay and like you said in the description, he's quite capable of inflincting high punishement to his enemies, thanks to his simple loadout but also good speed and defense.

Head Canon looks awesome. Shame I’ll never be able to play as it because for some reason my game doesn’t have whatever is in Head Canon’s right hand slot.
