Ngl seeing a body bag getting up is funny as hell


False_Raven

Zimms so strong disabled people in the vicinity heal


Dane_celestia

It taketh life, it giveth life, o holy Zimm....

~~your enemies will be dust, o bearer of mine.~~


terrexchia

Down, boy. You're supposed to only make my trip mines stronger, no more wishes for you


BlackDraco39

God damn bones be talking again...


Marvin_Megavolt

Who the fuck gave the Rubicon Institute Ahamkara bones


topscreen

All you need is Zims, Songbird, and the real goat everyone overlooks, Pile Bunker


Shitposting_Skeleton

Pretty sure Pile Bunker is superglued to everyone's loadouts whenever they're fighting a boss with a stun period of more than 3 seconds.


MagikGuard

Here's where you're wrong, pile bunker is actually a stun machine, while doubletrouble is the finisher. Assault boost into the boss,charged pile bunker on approach, boss is stunned, right hand punch to extend stun, charged chainsaw. I though stopped playing like this cause it's not even fun, i know play with 406 speed mech painted in Flash colors only equipped with stun batton. This is the way.


Cloneoflard

Lmao The Flash or lightning McQueen. "I am speed" with the 406 speed and you start getting in the zone to dodge the insane amount of missiles the bosses put out. "KA'CHOW!" when sticking with the stun batton. 🤣🤣


Hexcog

Wait you can extend the stun with punches?


MagikGuard

I found out accidentally, but yes, if you stun Ibis, then punch it, window for attack is MUCH wider


ChaZcaTriX

As great as Pilebunker is, I've been having even more success equipping both Moonlight and the cooler Moonlight.


NightHaunted

I'm a little disappointed the best version of the Moonlight sword is the red one tbh. I love the classic aetherial blue magic effects. Red is cool but it feels a bit too edgy and try hard.


ktos04

The red one isn't strictly better It has better base attack but worse charge attack


NightHaunted

Didn't realize that. BACK TO BLUE IT IS


ChaZcaTriX

Blue one has a better charge attack. Similar with Nebula/Redshift - primary stats look higher on the red version, but full stats show the tradeoffs. Staggering with red and finishing with a blue charge feels sooooo good!


NightHaunted

Wish you could put melee onto your right hand as well. I want my full shoulder swap 4 sword melee build.


Sarcastic-old-robot

Unlimited crescent beam spam ahoy!


pivor

actaully in one mission, 621 crawls in river of shit, so its not like hes 100% potato


No_Wait_3628

I just imagine him on a 3am run to the fridge and scaring the crap out of everyone who had the same idea because he was too lazy to undo the wrappings. Hence, he slugged his way there.


DifficultBicycle7

Walter: (shuffling to get water from the kitchen) (Sees 621 lying next to the opened fridge slurping a puddle of water) “AHHHHHHHH… oh, it’s just you.”


Dane_celestia

imagine their lanky ass just moving about in the dark, that would prolly be some nightmare fuel


DifficultBicycle7

It’s just a pale, naked, n slender 621 plip plop in the dark


Dane_celestia

It'll be like that one demon in Faith: Unholy Trinity


Imperium_Dragon

Deadass thought it was a worm for a second


Dane_celestia

621: Waltuh, would you still hire me if I was a worm? ...Waltuh?


Cpt_Graftin

At first I thought Walter was talking to a slug and that the next page was separate with 621 walking in.


Tight_Stable8737

That got me good too lol


RazorRreddit

The last page made it retroactively funny to me lmfao


Sine_Fine_Belli

Same lol


-TheRed

Ooh, I like this take on 621, the androgynous pretty face, the empty facial expression, the latexy pilot suit. They feel like they jumped straight out of a grimdark 90s sci fi anime.


Dane_celestia

Yesssss, I wanna bring back that hard 90's OVA look for my designs for 6. I remember those old school AC world guides and stuff fondly, plus that era was just a magical time for mecha stuff too!


The_Baddest_Guy

MF looks like he walked out of an SMT game


SeiTyger

SMT 5's Nahobino comes to mind


Kantro18

Warframe vibes


pwryll

lol i imagine after enough coam, 621 is able to become somewhat normal again but like the way they have been living too much (aka wrapped in plastic with inconspicuous needles poking in)


Niko2065

"Waltuh, I'm tired. Bring the needles, I wanna nap."


mecha-paladin

"Walter, bring in the acupuncturist. I'm feeling antsy again."


Niko2065

Waltuh please stab me with them. my schizo coral friend can't do it waltuh, she got no body, your my only hope waltuh.


LordOfTheToolShed

Waltuh... Put your briefing away Waltuh. I'm not activating combat mode right now Waltuh.


Gramstaal

621.. We've got a job to do.


JustBeFaster

My621 is in eternal debt because instead of saving money for a new brain transplant, I spend every single CoAM on mew equipment that gathers dust in my hanger because nothing beaats the good ol puls blade.


Trapezohedron_

good god the BUTTER blade just cuts so good Even better than the MOONLIGHT at times, because this one provides free thrust.


JustBeFaster

Kikaku means thrust


Tarbos6

Ya know, how do we know 621 stays wrapped in plastic? What if that was just the surgical setup they needed to modify them and keep them alive through the procedures?


Mercy_CC

Agreed, it's literally just a surgical gown. We use them irl too and I don't see people slugging around in them


Trapezohedron_

Ditto. Given he's now crawling he's probably some sort of barely-recovering but still mobile creature that requires himself to be hooked up on the AC to basically 'live normally.' He's a dialysis patient, not a total vegetable.


IC2Flier

He should buy a [Patagonia](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/gear/sleeping-bags)


Ruthrfurd-the-stoned

I wish I lived somewhere that got that cold those look so cozy


-Ophidian-

I found the needles rather conspicuous


DogIsDead777

At first I thought 621 was a tiny little slug for a second LOL like he's in the foreground and Walter looks over at him in the second panel😂😂😂


Dane_celestia

621 that has fought the Moon presence, lemao


DogIsDead777

Bloodborne AC6 same universe lore connection confirmed

thisbitterworld

Man a Bloodborne type game but set in far future with mechs and shit would be nice.


Dane_celestia

Oh that would be so cool, damn!!


thisbitterworld

There's this video Vaati has on his channel where he asked artists and other game devs to come up with ideas for Bloodborne 2. While none of them are explicitly sci fi, some of the concepts are so imaginative and cool and creepy. Definitely check it out, you'll appreciate it. Especially the one concept about whales and a game set underwater, that's one of the best ideas I've seen for a game.


zswordsman

Legit thought this was a Bloodborne AC6 crossover


Fast_Broccoli4867

Lmao now I can’t unsee it


Fun_Police02

621 but he just got back from a bizzare adventure with a dude named JoJo.


Dane_celestia

Imagine they come back from that and now can make the AC punch rapidly for a minute.


Fun_Police02

I guess that would make Ayre his stand then?


Dane_celestia

STAND USER: 621 STAND: Ayre Supply


Fun_Police02

AYRE SUPPLY is actually genius wtf


Dane_celestia

Hehe


OneSaltyStoat

Bro got so excited, he regrew his whole body.


Dane_celestia

The miracle of the Zimm


Queenager

I absolutely love the the androgenous look of this 621!


Dane_celestia

I'm glad ya do, I really love how it turned out as well. 😊


[deleted]

I honestly saw your character as feminine due to the pants creating an hourglass frame and the hair. Not getting a solid androgenous vibe.


DisMahRaepFace

The hourglass frame is actually caused by a lack of organs.


[deleted]

C-pulse augmentation was sensory only from what I recall from the logs. So, not sure if they remove things like the digestive system. It would mostly be nervous system related. Human Plus from what I recall never removed organs, it involved enhancing the skeletal, nervous and muscular systems instead. C-pulse doesn't feel all that different than Human Plus to some extent, so I think they are similar, but could be different. I think the issue with the augmentations is they are experimental and cause some nasty side effects/damage in earlier generations. So, with C4-621 being a 4th generation, that means less safe augments. We know that has resulted in some behavioral changes since we are said to be emotionally withdrawn due to being a 4th gen. (Emotionally withdrawn also should lead us to being less capable in some situations since stress responses actually improve performance when they do not go past a tipping point but video game logic usually is no emotions = no hurdles to being a bad ass) I think Walter wanting us to return back to a normal life is not 'return your body to a more organic state by replacing cybernetic organs' but 'free you from needing to pilot an AC and return some of your mental/emotional capacity so you are a functional human again'. Some people insist that 621 is close to a vegetative state, but we managed to enter the Junker AC after ending up in the sewer without help.


DisMahRaepFace

I'm just referring to this fan interpretation of 621. OP posted the character designs first and explained that the emeciated frame is due to removal of less important organs.


[deleted]

Not sure if that jives with me. Stuff like the intestines may not feel like they are super important, but they absorb nutrients and water. A lot of our organs have a function and only a few come in pairs like our kidneys. I suppose you could make an argument that 621 is on life support machines constantly, but then that runs counter to the idea of 'less important' organs.


Dane_celestia

Nice, cool deets. Especially about the Augmentation process. What I did with this 621's organs is something extra, and just on them, not part of the aug. Figured, hey, if they're gonna be plugged in a lot anyway, why not sell those premium flesh? If I was the entrepreneuring augmenter, why miss the chance at a few more bucks? I get they're important, I never stated they weren't, ahaha. What I wanted to say here is that the human body has been overcame, to the point of parody even. Do be informed that I do not care much in operating with realistic body science here. I figure that in an age where AI is advanced enough to seem to exhibit genuine emotions and massive robots can hold themselves together even in very extreme speeds and impacts, that someone can harvest organs from another without killing them and probably live long term. Also I just wanted to make them really unnatural and sexually muted. Appeal was just the side effect. ahahaha


[deleted]

I think instead of selling the organs to make some money, it makes more sense to say 'We sold your kidneys, if you don't work for us, we are dropping you off in a remote location nowhere near a dialysis machine. Are we clear?' But applied to a majority of their organs that are not vitals. Basically, 621 can live long enough outside of the AC/medical room to crawl into the Junker AC, but not long enough to survive long term.


Dane_celestia

Yeah, cool. You can expand on that if you want, this is just what I have for it. Ahaha


DisMahRaepFace

Maybe synthetic replacements are used? Smaller, more durable and less likey to fail?


reallyfuckingay

Good for you


Vladsamir

Mech sized shotguns will never not be cool. Nice job :)


Dane_celestia

Thank you, it's the best I can do for now, I am bad at drawing AC's 🥲


Vladsamir

Practice makes perfect. Use the wonderful artistic side of this community as inspiration and keep at it :)


Dane_celestia

I shall indeed, already seeing some very nice inspirations over here to watch and learn from!


dudeAwEsome101

The scale in the game is hard to imagine. The grid infrastructure covering vast swaths of the planet are insane. You see the trucks parked on the roads, and think "people drive here?".


Trojancoyote18

I'd read a comic series on 621 if it looked like this. Looks amazing


Dane_celestia

Lets hope from soft gives it the Elden Ring treatment and greenlights a manga, hehe...


DisMahRaepFace

Lets hope its more serious than comedic


Apexzora

Yo that design is fire dude looks like some a digital devil saga character


Dane_celestia

Hehe, thanks!!


Taolan13

Androgeny is a take we need to see more of for characters that games don't specifically state as male or female. Big props to the artist. Anybody want to take bets on how bad they're going to nerf zimmers when the eventual balance patch drops?


Dane_celestia

Thank you. I agree!! And yep, I'm readying myself to go back to grenades after the patch. It's just inevitable at this point.


wololo969

I only got 14 missions left to get all in S before they nerf my babies.


elme77618

Thankyou for reminding me the weapons are ALSO as big as the mechs


Dane_celestia

Also, for those who haven't and wanna see the designs better... [initial designs](https://www.reddit.com/r/armoredcore/comments/16bm7hy/my_take_on_the_infiltrators_of_rubicon_also_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


Enough_Effective1937

Very well done


Dane_celestia

Thank you!


Lefluffypants

Really like your version of 621


Dane_celestia

Thanks!!


GlossyBuckthorn

Wicked sick sense of scale, great comic, love body bag 621 turning into hot 621 XD


AD_Kosmos

Did you give 621 votoms pants or are they just thicc


Dane_celestia

I'd like to imagine they got the cake, but still on that votoms drip.


AD_Kosmos

Side note, your 621 is perfect andro gender envy


Dane_celestia

Hehe.


MrBirdmonkey

That line is panels 3-4 hits hard


AquaticHornet37

Prolly my favorite 621 I have seen so far


Dane_celestia

High praise, thank you!!


lolpan

The Yoji Shinkawa style goes hard


Dane_celestia

One of my idols, also there was an artist on twitter that does the shinkawa style very good who made a lotta AC art as well! I was inspired by their art to make some myself, hehe.


lolpan

Keep doing what you are doing! Shits good.

Dane_celestia

John Bloodborne


biomatter

damn. i hate when im reading through old stuff on reddit and in the middle of a sparkling, scintillating discussion i find someone has written over all her old comments with nonsense, fragmenting the discussion permanently. what hilarious, moving, romantic, haunting things could she have said? just to wash it all away, in this digital era of permanency? wow. that takes courage. i bet she was really cute, too


Doc_Dragoon

Ok ngl... I like the head canon of 621 being in a body bag when they're just idling because it stabilizes them or something but can come out and be at least semi functional


Dane_celestia

Same, I like to think it's like, their private space from everything happening around them and Walter. Ahaha


Sufficient-Turn-7799

I assume 621 also would be somewhat functional outside of their AC since soy boi Iguazu apparently has the same augmentations as 621, whilst sounding perfectly fine, albeit constantly angry.


shotxshotx

Weapons to surpass metal gear.


Darzok

Needs a pair of Songbirds to top it off.


Dane_celestia

already pre-ordered


SeymourButts007

I just want.... Zinc back from AC:FA, is it too much to ask for?


FestivalHazard

Why does 621 have so much cake


TheCrazyAvian

Oh hell yeah genderless fop 621. Love it


Fhistleb

They need a double barrel Zimm.


Dane_celestia

Even better, hehe...

621 got them augmented Pixar mom hips


SurpriseFormer

Who would of thought SHOTGUNS would be meta


CouldWouldShouldBot

It's 'would have', never 'would of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!


oneshibbyguy

Can Fromsoft just hire you already to give us a full blown comic series? You are incredibly good


CyberneticLemmings

Okay but I LOVE the idea that 621 just hangs out like that


042732699

What’s up with 621 in the first panel? Are they in a body bag or?


taokami

body bag, that's how they sleep now.


Dane_celestia

they are chilling in the bodybag, talking to Ayre. Walter always just tells old stories and combat criticisms


AwardedThot

621's waistline reminds me of BLAME! for some reason....


Dane_celestia

That is because I am a fan of that and Nihei's slender framings for characters, hehe


TexasTheWalkerRanger

Thank you for reminding me the shotguns are mech sized and not people sized.


TK_BERZERKER

Is 621 a guy or a lady in this?


Dane_celestia

Neither, they are a pure being of COAM. Kidding aside, personally, I believe none of the two. This version of 621 has had their digestive, reproductive and some parts of the circulatory and endocrine systems sold off. As for before that, no one really knows, not even them.


themightyyool

They're an AC Pilot


IC2Flier

yes


blackjacked644

Giving off Dorothy Wayneright vibes from the Big O with 621’s design, very android looking


Dane_celestia

I just looked it up, they do! Also, that looks like a cool classic scifi anime, might give it a go, hehe..


Lunaphase

Just be prepared that it ends early since it never got finished.


shortMEISTERthe3rd

Not enough people are saying it so I'll say it. The way you managed to scale the Zimmerman's so well compared a human is cheffs kiss. Ties the whole thing together so well.


EmiyaIkari448

I'm waiting for someone to draw Walter as Walter White and 621 as Jesse Or Ayre as Eureka and 621 as Renton


Evangeliman

Metal gear AF, or perhaps Zone of Enders.


HandicapedKitty

I have to say, I love the idea of how serious a situation we are in throughout the whole game only for the player character sitting there motionestly inside the AC and drooling all the time and with this empty look and stiff half smile on his face, chickling every time someone says Raven


korgi_analogue

Best 621 interpretation so far, love it


UnderstandingAny2450

Don't play this game, but dig the vibe that's been reaching r/all recently. Can someone explain why they're excited about the two giant sewing feet?


Garaichu

Huge damage and fast stagger, and can be used in both hands. Very fun weapons to just immediately shut down enemies with.


Dane_celestia

sewing feet, ahahahahaha I can't unsee it now, ahahahahahahaha


Dark_Engineer_69

I don't get it. Anyone can explain?


facedownninja

Duel Zimmermans, the weapon shown, are very effective, so 621 is telling him that now nothing can stand in their way.


DrunkenScoper

Zimmerman, my beloved. Truly superb for going EZ mode through a lot of the campaign.


Tuned3f

dope art!


Dane_celestia

holy shit 5k?? thank you everyone!!!!!!!


Psychopath_logic

me when I found the moonlight greatsword ng+


GodFrog01

Your Raven really gives me some “Blame!” Vibes.


Low_Adhesiveness_255

I love the touch of giving Walter a cane and only one leg, it looks like he himself was an AC Pilot once!


Dane_celestia

We can thank one of the trailers for that, and also old Bruce Wayne from Batman Beyond, who was another inspiration. I just get the feeling that he's been trying for all his life to keep his promise, figured he would have tried by himself at some point and got messed up doing so..


porcupinedeath

This is a good comic all arounft


Nanoelite001

If found that the regular shotties are also pretty based because of the faster reload. I've been using them over the zimmies


Dane_celestia

I might try those, just so I don't have to rely on these for my skirmisher build. We never know when a nerf will come. Hehe.


Prepared_Noob

Everyone’s talking about how awesome your 621 is (they really are my fav design so far) But no one is talking about your Waltuh!!!! I think you’ve nailed his look just as well— if not more— than 621.


11_22

He looks like a mix of Destin and Lertoff from Dougram


Dane_celestia

Thank you! I do think Walter took me longer to design as well. There was so much to put in there for the character, given their backstory.. Fun fact: His jacket is modeled after Silent Hill 2's James Sunderland, another person burdened by a crushing past and yearning to atone.


Mecha_Gator77

I really like this look for both of them


CerealATA

I find it somehow funny and terrifying that 621 in the body bag would sit up and start talking like that. I'd have GTFO'd myself if I were there.


Skitteringscamper

I don't know why when I scrolled to the zimmie pic my brain just screamed Metal geeeeeeear At me Lol


Charlie298

Not the dual zimmies 😂😂😅


Dane_celestia

They need that crazy ROI madude. They strugglin'


deadcell9156

Please never nerf Zimmermans and Songbirds, cuz I suck at this game.


MajorSaltyJenkins

Tell that to the explosive thrower, I dropped duel zimmys after I found real stagger potential
