Supplice in LEGO Form

Yet again, another Armored Core in LEGO, likely from the same guy who made the Lego Cascade Range. Again found at the depths of Armored Core Wiki, we’re starting to think that if you’re baddass enough to make an AC out of LEGO, you are smart enough to outwit some internet stalkers. More pictures after the jump:

We reported a few weeks ago that Dengeki Online’s Armored Core Retribution’s ACs will be making an appearance in Last Raven Portable.

Armored Core Analogs: Bazookas

Aim at face for maximum effect.

While rifles are fine and dandy if you value finesse, there comes a time that you just want a weapon that satisfies your inner barbarian’s urge to crush anything that moves. You, my friend, need a bazooka.

LEGO Cascade Range

It seems not only the V2 Gundam can be turned into a LEGO statue as Armored Core: Last Raven’s Cascade Range has returned, in LEGO form. These pictures are found in the depths of the Japanese Armored Core Wiki site, and thus the name of the creator and the instructions on how to make this magnificent piece escape us. Enjoy another image of this LEGO masterpiece after the jump:

Front Mission Evolved and MGS: Peace Walker Crossover

Kotaku has reported that Kojima Productions announced that certain boss characters in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP will drop items that can be used by the giant Wanzers in Front Mission Evolved, hinting at the PSP and PS3 connectivity between the two games. For the 360 version of FME, we suspect this will be turned into a DLC if it isn’t an exclusive arrangement between Konami and Square-Enix.

We here in RR would like to think bigger regarding this partnership, so we’re further hoping for something like the Shagohod featured in MGS: Snake Eater or some new Metal Gear being featured in Peace Walker becoming side bosses in FME, much like how the popular Monster Hunter’s Tigrex will be appearing as special boss characters in MGS: Peace Walker. As much as the FME/MGS boss crossover is improbable, we would like to keep hoping that the possibility is still there.

That, or we’ll be happy just having a Big Boss avatar for on-foot characters.
