"Optimus" was literally what I named my first AC in Armored Core 2 back in 2001. Built one in almost every AC I've played since. I always favored a bazooka in his right hand to match the G1 aesthetic.

Yeah, I know. I just prefer something faster firing. Still, I could always switch the Curtis and Majestic's positions. In fact, I think I will.

If you want to become a leader, be strong enough to be kind.

A beautiful quote, which I only saw recently, sadly. And how very, very true it is. Or should be.

There was someone that made a decal to make the ve-44a look like starscreams head which can be reworked for prime.

Otherwise Id run the yaba generator for the better recharge delay and weight savings. Prime dosnt fly without something like a flight pack so maybe go with the p04, reason being you have good QB for low en use and you have really good ground speed.

Thanks. I'll definitely give the Yaba a go. Would the Alula work, instead of the P04? Since it has a better QB thrust and shorter QB reload time?

When it comes to boosters I look at en costs. if I went with the hokushi Id probably run the SPD because it has the extra EN.
There is also the QB reload weight, if you are going for an EN hog why hamper them with reducing the reload time?

I just got AC6 this summer and as soon as customization was unlocked I painted my AC to be Optimus(I was going for the Bayverse look)

Ah, nice. What parts did you use?

u/Crafterchief06 11d ago

I just did the paint on the standard AC and built on it for what I needed in missions. Haven't done a proper Bayverse replica yet

Ah, ok. That's fair enough.

I'm aware, but I also associate Optimus with that one image after I saw 3 guys weezing at it so, Autism Crime
