Longtime Armored Core fan here reporting. Been playing the game since 10 years ago. Haven't decide whether I'm gonna buy the model kits or not. They're a lot pricier than HGUC 1/144 Gundams that I'm used to collect and assemble, but they do seem to have far superior details than Gundam models. Currently occupied with 1/6 action figures, so I'm stuck in a dilemma between that and Armored Core.

If you had played Armored Core 3 and Armored Core 3 Silent Line, you'd probably have better respect for that head unit the AC's using. In the game, the head unit there has one of the best defense against energy weapons (and a built-in radar W00t!), and it isn't that heavy, so lighter and middleweight ACs can equip it without too much sacrifice on the equipment. An AC's head unit isn't really that great of a contributor for Armor Points and Solid/Energy defense, but every bit, even a little, counts and it may just help you turn the tides of battle during harder missions.

But what am I saying, this is the model kits we are discussing, not the game itself.
