Where some Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon players continue to feed the fire, others are feeding their love for customising mechs. The long-awaited game from Bandai Namco doesn’t only bring spectacular combat action, but also offers extensive paint and decal editors that can be used to create cool-looking builds. Or goofy ones, even.
In an impressive show of creativity, new and veteran fans have shown off their masterful recreations of existing mecha, as well as some highly-original designs. The Evangelion Unit-01, XVX-016 Gundam Aerial, G1 Shockwave of Transformers fame, GaoGaiGar, and Megas XLR builds are among those that got a makeover, looking as sharp as they come.

Never change, Armored Core VI players.
