A moment of silence for our boy. He went up against us and didn't run when things were turning south. Rest easy Gun 14

He represents all those people who couldn't get past the helicopter 🚁

Went out like a chad instead of malding his way into instrumentality like Iguana. G13>G5, in all circumstances.

What’s funny is his AC isn’t even that bad, he could have climbed the arena ladder at least into C or D. But alas, this is Armored Core, happiness and hope are lies to distract from the suffering with chaos as the only answer.

"Destroy Tester AC" more like "Test Your AC Here" sucker.

All he wanted was a call sign, so let's give him one. Callsign: ATM.

I really like to imagine that while the trainee pilot believed he was doing a simple delivery mission, when he arrives, the Redguns would've done something like "Surpirse kiddo! It's your AC and you're now a Redgun!", just like some surprise birthday party. If you also look at the weapon suite, they're all pretty basic and easy to use weapons, which would suit someone like this pilot. Also also, looking at the recent leaks for the new parts, the back mounted gatling gun almost feels like it was specifically made for this pilot because the description says it is specifically designed for ease of use by the 'suggestion' of the Redguns.

I actually feel bad for this pilot. I hear that g1 Michigan intentionally sacrificed this pilot under negotiations with handler walter for what he did on grid 135. So either he dies and 621 gets to work under the red guns, or the trainee preveils, gets even with walter, and still gets a redgun member.

My guy doesn't even have a name and is probably on the same memorable pedestal as Rusty

I really don't want to kill this guy. He reminded me of Apple Boy.

Personally, i always thought of him as the closet thing we got to see of a Normal AC pilot. As lets be honest pretty much all teh AC pilots are NOT normal cases, whether they be part of a Elite team, or simply have some other anomaly or importance to them. he seemed to be the only one, that while seeming lacking combat experience, is the closest glimpse into the average, pilot, likely using one of the AC part sets that say they are mass produced, being nothing more then a Facey highly moduler MT at the end of the day [kinda like how 4th gen and 5th gen Fighter jets are thought to a slightly more noticeable degree] But we never see those, "normal" pilots in this game or any game really beyond him.. And that kinda makes him special. Maybe... At least that is what i like to believ.

I had to let him beat me at least once. Stand proud student. You were brave.

In my opinion, this was the most likeable character in the game. He makes it clear that he doesn't like or respect you, the merc who only kills for credits, but he's not cocky or rude about it. He takes up arms because it's his duty, stays calm, stays focused, and fights to the end, not trying to run away or to bargain for his life. I also think his AC has a reasonable amount going for it. The Pulse Blade has an astonishing 2.3x damage multiplier versus targets with overloaded ACS, the active homing missiles have some of the highest impact damage of any missiles, and the assault rifle can make sure that targets don't recover their ACS after firing, giving the build a simple plan: Fire the missiles, dash in alongside them to pressure with the assault rifle, and pulse blade if they get staggered. A solid strategy for a novice pilot.

It kinda sad that he lives in the world full of pros that can end him in 1 second with no effort.

I use Rummy as a punching bag instead, spares the trainee some trouble.

Poor Guy he wanted a callsign of his own nice work on this video

Poor sod never stood a chance

We’re crushing this poor trainee for pennies as a way to test our new AC builds, none the less atleast he can take on 621 with his own guts than *ahem* *Iguazu and some of vesper members*

The guy we all feel bad for and wanted to give a helping hand, the original Gun 13. Some people call him the community's punching bag, but that title belongs to Swinburne. Dafeng Student Pilot > Swinburne

This is the AC I used, but had this loadout called meefcake

I have a theory that the tester AC was a replacement for cannonhead as G 1 says in the dam mission that Volta's AC isn't exactly cutting edge, but that's just a thought I had anyway.

If that AC was delivered to them, it was not only beneficial to the Redguns (G1 Michigan will train the pilot hard), but also to the Balam (Ransetsu AR and Butt/A), Dafeng (improvements of Tian Qiang AC), and Furlong Dynamics (12345 booster and cruise missile)

I like to imagine the redguns were gonna give the AC to the test pilot like "habny birthday lil bro you graduated!" God i loved michigan, and red... Putting red down really hurt, more than Michigan having that really bad fall...

Personally, I see this guy as the AC universe’s equivalent to Rick the Door Technician.

The thing I don't understand is why you can blow up a bunch of Balam stuff in one mission and do a Balam mission next and they have absolutely no idea that you're the one who kicked in the door and murdered their comrades

Poor dude could've made for a decent pilot but sooner or later he would've went down with balam and the other red guns atleast he'll be remembered for being a good sparing partner for testing different builds unless you just fight the Og raven in the arena like how i did

Great vid. Makes me wonder how many other potential pilots fates we have altered across the series. I almost feel bad, almost.

Mecha Anime protag but when being a teenager with a dream doesn't stop 175mm

I was wondering if you were going to make a video on Branch. My interest in them peaked when I realized the most unique parts of each are either arquebus or bales parts, yet none of their squads use them. (For example umber ices tank legs by arquebus ADD) I was wondering if that had anything to do with the hacktivist part.

YES! Story time with ACL!

He had more guts than Iguasu, so he's solid gold in my book.

They had a right to be scared. I used that armor throughout the game.

i call him Apple boy....

I swear your channel is like a bedtime story teller for us ravens 😂

I've called this pilot Fallen Pheonix.. Because people use him to test AC builds.. bringing him back to die over n over again. A Fitting Callsign

In the AC universe, the only hostiles are those who cannot be paid for. Even if someone just destroyed an asset of yours, it is far cheaper to just hired that person instead of having a grudge on him/her/they and try to engage hostility with that person.

Heres the logo ref Aqurebus : mirage Balam : crest Reused and develop : Kisaragi

the moment I hear the music at 5:07 , my brain confused: "Wait, FF have lores!?"

oh but we gave him a nice callsign of his very own tombstone 8)

Poor kid

I just wanted a call sign of my own..

The video nobody asked for but everyone needs

his callsign is...."Target Practice" 😎😎

Ah, this poor mf...

Formula Front next!!? LETS GO!!!

He just wanted a callsign of his own. Feel good about yourself now?

And Great video

Can we get a chatty stick video pls

More like Dedfeng am I right? Lol ok I'll see my way out.

Bro thinks he is the protagonist

Sorry to dispatch you buddy but the G13 emblem is mine. Nothing personal. Maybe you can come back as a Rubiconian ghost and have a redemption arc or something lolol

Isn’t it Dafeng?

Thank you for being my early game farm R.I.P 🤘🫡
