i had to beat the remaining MT's to death with my fists because i had no ammo left and no melee weapons

I swear to god, the attack the redguns mission is so hard i had to bloody go duel mini-guns and some morelys just to finish the fight.

He's literally me fr

Ill never understand how one man can love field trips so much.

“You beg for your mother, we’ll give you another!” Never heard this line and legit spat out my guts 😂

I think Michigan glitched when I fought him. After his 2nd heal he kept telling Osawa to multiply his rifle training. Felt bad for him tbh. He’ll be good at rifle tho

Nobody is born cool. Except michigan

Maybe a bit out of context, but what passives do you have on that helzephyr? Is it just swift, or do you also have runner and nimble?

This is very rng to works, jetragon can be cheesed by so many other way and my favorite one is just hide behind the tree and he can't do anything except eating your bullet on his face

does this have to be done during night?

What’s the fun in this?

got musclehead too on top pretty damn strong

mine just dies

Did this when level 29. Amazing find. Used hyper spheres too. Yeah cant fly yet but melts everything i come up against

What?? Fall damage?

I wish we got endings for siding with one of the corporations just so I could not be directly or indirectly responsible for every Redgun dying They’re all good people (except arguably Iguazu but given time I think even he would get tired of being so hard-headed and feeling sorry for himself losing everything gambling) I love all the dialogue in the Intercept the Redguns mission because it all does such a great job of showing us what kind of person Michigan is, but I hate doing the mission because I feel horrible side note I’m not sure if I prefer Hell on Four Legs or Mean Ol’ Michigan lmao oh yeah other side note, don’t forget we never even get a single tiny little clue as to what anyone at all in this game looks like (the sketches you can find don’t have much in the way of details) the writing and voice acting just go so hard they don’t need the extra visuals

Michigan is such a dad, he knows that 621 doesnt have any personal feelings, he knows this is just a job and focuses on protecting his men, and even praise 621 for his skills and warn about it. He cares about every single men in his army and never insult them even he speaks to be jerk outside. Even description of his AC tells that every asset of his will be sent to his fellow colleagues after his death, this shows that he cares about his men a lot. What a chad, im so sorry that he must die through out the mission. He deserves much better than that.

Does anyone else think Michigan would have bailed on Balem if he knew Coral was alive, and one of it's living pieces was inside Raven? Dude seems like he cares about Raven despite Raven being independent. I'm sure he would have been more than happy to put the Xylem in the ground, especially to get a shot at Snail.

"DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKIN' CLOWN TO YOU?!"

The only guy who truly cares about Iguazu 🥲

Whoever takes out G13 gets to take home a Balam Cobalt Medal. They’re good too! They go really far when you throw ‘em.

I don’t know why but I’m so obsessed with “Intercept the Redguns” from a narrative standpoint. At this point, Balam Industries is completely screwed now that Arquebus Corporation possesses the scavenged PCA tech to drive them off-world, pretty much all the Redguns have either deserted or were killed off and many of the lesser grunts and MTs were wiped out by the Watchpoint’s defenses and mass desertions occurring and all G1 Michigan has left of his forces are his most fanatical MT squadrons taking on a pointless mission of trying to take down Raven and hopelessly charge through NEPENTHES. But does he turn tail and run? No, he orders his soldiers to charge into battle against a single pilot of mass destruction (C4-621 Raven/V.IV Rusty) for a hopeless battle in the service of an uncaring corporation and dying senseless deaths on the battlefield, par for the course in the world of Armored Core. Sure, Michigan could’ve read the room and knew this to be a lost cause and joined the withdrawal from Rubicon 3 to face the wrath of Balam’s higher ups for his failure but he’ll be damned if he wasn’t going all in to “bag the big one” and take a shot at eliminating the Wall Climber, the Worm Killer and the only G13 who has lived this long. Even when he dies, does his MT squadron break and try to flee? No, they assert that Michigan gave it his all, stand their ground and continue to fight. If 621 dies, Michigan wastes no time calling in relief teams to the front to tend to the wounded. Even Handler Walter doesn’t sound ecstatic about killing Michigan off, simply telling 621 to get the job done. They must’ve known each other back on Jupiter when Walter was sent there as a boy before the Fires of Ibis erupted. I’m almost reminded of Stannis Baratheon and his ill-fated March to Winterfell from Game of Thrones (TV Series only! Book Stannis is very different and much more successful). Forces depleted from mass desertions and facing overwhelming odds with no hope of victory but goes down fighting. Goddamn, I so wish there was a route to side with Balam all the way, maybe a DLC or “AC6.1” game like For Answer and Verdict Day where we have more options to side with the other factions such as the PCA or BRANCH.

I was disappointed that there was no siding with Balam option, imagine leading the charge of the elite MTs in a suicidal Hail Mary assault on Arquebus in the underground facility.

I day dream G1 Michigan becomes a real hero and joins the Runiconians and crushes Arquebus and then helps out with the igazu matter by smacking some sense into him.

I love how much venom Michigan delivered in the line "I guess Arquebus sent a top Vesper to provide running commentary." obviously it makes sense but you don't often hear him sound like anything else than a drill sergeant.

Michigan eng voice is the reason I prefer eng dub over jp dub. The jo dub for Michigan it just meh.

I love how G1 sings your praises even when you're sent to kill him.

Iguazu: I'll stay back and watch Michigan: TO THE FRONT LINES YOU GO, BITCH BOI!

Me: "Any ending where you don't need to fight Michigan and he still lives is a happy ending to me" Fromsoft: we don't have happy endings

I want a 4th ending for the Redguns. Like they ditch Balam and decide to do right by Rubicon by fighting on your side against the corporations.

I like only ass mirage 😄

I love how despite being enemies he still praises those who betrayed him.

Ah, I never thought about luring them toward the Tetrapod MT.

"Why don't you do the math and tell me how much he's worth?" "G13 is worth 2000 Albanys sir!" "Shut up and get back to fighting!" "SIR YES SIR!" You can feel that he's proud that that soldier answered the question correctly but mad that he's not focusing on staying alive

The MURICAN caricature? Hah, yeah. He's ridiculous.

Read the arena lore on Liger tail he is a real badass

Oh wow, there's actually dialogue for Michigan during the worm fight if you don't meet the damage threshold between railgun shots.

I just want a DLC where we can side with the REDGUNS. Would always join

And to think Rusty was able to take this guy, thats wild

S ranking "Intercept Redguns" was a nightmare 😅

Didn’t get invested in any fight more than I did against Balam and Michigan. That’s the end I wanted for myself, but 621 wins of course. Felt great fighting so many enemies at once but it felt awful to be killing them. Hard to say if any of the factions fought with honor but it sure feels like Michigan valued it.

Do note: In korean subtitle & Japanese voice/subtitle G1 *Don't* charge extra, but *Exclude* from repair cost as a tuition fee after G4/5 is destroyed. idk what's wrong in eng localization but G1 is even more awesome in non-eng language. In korean & japanese subtitle G1 says more him-like amazing line: Walter: "Michigan, I'll pay the repair costs." G1: "You made this into unlaughable field trip! I'll take it excluding the tuition fee!" It's *Excluding* - unlike eng version. Possibly indicating that he think 621 taught a lesson or two to arrogant G4/5. Totally a good leader.

Aww, my favorite line isn’t here. Best one is where he insults G5 if you take him out first at the Dam mission. I had to pause the game to laugh.

LOOK ALIVE GUN 13 Your mission is to exfiltrate 12 happy meals for the Redguns, you are to ensure the package contains only boys toys or I’ll WELD YOU TO THE PLAYPLACE MYSELF

I was hoping there would be a story line that ended with balam being the victors

I wish you could have helped Balam to get into the lead, or had an outcome where Michigan survives… it’s like they were doomed from the start, which makes no sense to me.

It saddened me that I had to kill him, he's such a bro

"Must've given as good as he got, we can still win this!" And he was right. I was always damn near hanging by a thread when this mission ended. Died several times to the remaining MTs in the field. Rest in peace, Mr. Hell On Four Legs.

No "G5 how many ranks behind you is G13? You can count right? Don't spend too long on the math, it's a lot"?

God I Love Michigan, he reminds me of the general from Monsters vs Aliens. I imagine he looks like him too.
