One of the best things aboutArmored Core 6: Fires Of Rubiconis the game’s character creator mode. FromSoftware is no stranger to character customization, but the tools in theSoulsseries allow only for the modification of humansor Shrek-like creatures. Making mechs is a completely different thing. I’ve previously showcased afew hilarious fanmade AC units, and I’m glad to see that the community AC unit factory isn’t slowing down.
The GameCube AC
Ever thought that the GameCube featured an extraordinary library of games and deserved better than to get mercilessly slaughtered by the PS2? Well, just like Murphy inRobocop, it’s now back as a murder bot via the reconstructive efforts ofExoskellet.
Do you like it? Here’s the code to get those sweet textures: 7BM73CAKQQX1
But what if you’re less into Robocop and more into Cain, the weird junkyard-themed villain fromRobocop 2?Well, then, Exoskellet also has you covered:
It doesn’t even look all that different from my 20-year-old GameCube.
The McChicken
Shoutout to Destructoid userJimmyJamzfor showing me the beauty above.
Tired of waiting for thatdefinitelyreal and revolutionaryvideo game console by KFC? Well, you snooze, you lose, and McDonald’s beat the competition by ignoring the console-to-mecha pipeline and getting straight to the robot-making business. Just kidding; please don’t sue us — that’s actually Twitch streamerBawkbasoup‘s creation, the McChicken.
Cloud Strife
It was only a matter of time until anime fans began making AC units that looked like famous video game characters.
Cloud StrifefromFFVIIis perfect for that, as not even the weird bodily proportions of the AC units make it look stranger than his model did in the originalFinal Fantasy VII. Sadly, however,Armored Core 6,a game about unreasonably large killing objects, doesn’t feature one single melee weapon disproportionate enough to do the Buster Sword justice.
Homer Simpson
Not into JRPGs? Then consider taking H0m3-R for a spin. Isn’t this just the most beautiful video game adaptation of the main character fromThe Simpsonsthat you’ve ever seen? If anything about that design gives you the wrong idea that it might not be absolutely combat-ready, then perhaps consider going with the classicOmer Simpsoninstead.
You, too, can now make your wacky mechs inArmored Core 6: Fires Of Rubiconon PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S
