There was a sexy parts thread, now this is the ugly, strange, weird, etc, etc parts thread.
Admit it, some AC parts just don't make sense, appearance-wise. What are they?
My picks:
WASP: I can't find the words to describe it. It just looks freaky
CICADA2: Is this a head or a plate?
EYE3: Looks like Crest forgot to install the faceplate before shipping it out
VIXEN: Too weird-looking to be a biped, this should be an RJ
CRONUS: Did they have to make it so.......pointy?
the KRSW, BP and most other bazookas.
they're pretty, but too large and disproportionate-looking when equipped on mid- or light arms.
CRONUS core is the ugliest core for me.
GIBBON2 light arms look kinda odd.
the super-low drain midweight legs, i forget what they're called, but the elf-shoe looking ones are kinda retarded looking. good concept, but bad execution.
the LONGHORN head looks a bit out of place when compared to the others.
i like using the GL and the GERYON, but i'm not a big fan of the whole folding barrel design. i like the look of the telescoping barrels better.
The legs which loks like they have are hard hard plating?
It doesn't look freaky...
Wasps look like alien heads...
The past KARASAWAs weren't that "alien looking" :hmm:
As for me, RAKAN might be the wierdest, it covers the head of your AC. Equipping CICADA will make you look headless. :ph43r:
Agree on that one BD...
Try it with large missile arms and reverse joint legs...
Mechwarrior anyone?
Plus dual back missiles, and you got yourself a Timberwolf
H75EE - Great performance but atrocious looks.
WASP - Doesn't fit any of the cores. Makes even a good design look bad.
RAKAN - too bulky looking. Kisaragi should've spent more time researching the designs of the other companies before they released a core.
DINGO2 - Good performance but i just hate the splayed-feet design.
CRONUS - Reminds me of Z Gundam, especially the part where Kamille impales Scirocco's mobile suit with the Zeta's Wave Rider form. If only i could rush Evangel and stick the CRONUS up his [expletive deleted].
the cronus looks good with the stinger set:
mantis
loris
cronus
vixen
taros
dragon
Agree with that...
Actually... It feels like for NX-LR, Cronus is probabaly their idea of reviving XXA-SO...
That's what I thought at least...
Well, aside from the weird new gen AC parts... I'll mention ones from the classics.
