Armored Core 6 players make awesome Gundam, Evangelion, and Kirby mechs

Armored Core 6: Burning Rubicon has only been out for a few days, but an intrepid group of aesthetically inclined AC pilots have embraced the game’s extensive paint and decal editors to create sharp-dressed mechs. Pretty much every other mech you can think of is being recreated Armored core 6with masterfully recreated versions of the XVX-016 Gundam Aerial, the Evangelion Unit-01, GaiGar, Megas, Gipsy Danger and many others flooding social media.

New and veteran Armored Core fans have shown incredible creativity beyond recreation and creating original works, featuring Ken and Barbie-inspired mecha, multiple Kirby-inspired ACs, and Ronald McDonald’s tank-thread dual-gatling gun mech. One of my favorites is an AC modeled after a brown 2007 Toyota Camry.
