So, It is the Nineties, and you'd rather pilot:

Note: lists heavily favours serial-produced units. In fact, I think Geppy and the Omega are the only ones one-of-a-kind in the list.

Edit: bonus points to the first who finds the missing entry! ;)

No YF-19 or VF-11...... weak sauce.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Hercs from Earthsiege? Assault Suits from Leynos? Standing Tanks from Battle Clash? Variant Armors from Armored Warriors? Battledroids from Metal Warriors? :mrgreen:

Armored Core's my favorite mech-based video game series overall, but for mechanical designs, I think I'm going to go with Gears. Xenogears has very well done aesthetic to its technology, which is supposed to be ancient yet super high-tech.

As much as I love Xenogears, I voted for Armored Core. Gotta love all that customization, even if I stuck to both the Murakumo prototype legs and spider-like quad set most of the game.

Was going to ask, what about the Evangelions? Are they disqualified since they use an organic base? AND HOW DARE YOU SKIP THE VIRTUAROIDS FROM VIRTUAL ON, YOU HEATHEN?
Don't hold grudges. GET EVEN.

Five votes, and the situation is a lot more balanced than in the previous poll, where Valken stole the show. :)

Fuchikomas and Wanzers fans, have your say :)
