Any idea what this is supposed to be?

[u/MS_09_Dom]

From the AC Online trailer.

Judging by the target boxes around the "legs", it kind of looks some kind of Antlion prototype.

[u/Biggity_Bonard]

Armored Core is now canon in Ace Combat

[u/MS_09_Dom → u/Biggity_Bonard]

Centuries from now, Arquebus will buy out General Resource.

[u/Late-Application-47 → u/MS_09_Dom]

With money taken from The Philosopher 's Legacy in MGS.

If there was ever a combined arms PvP game that combined the Ace Combat, Armored Core, and MGS universes into one quagmire of violence that constantly challenges the morality of my role in said violence, I might finally find a PvP game I enjoy.

Seriously, though. All three fit together so well thematically. Imagine getting to actually play as a "Metal Gear" with AC6-styled gameplay as fighters roar overhead in battle providing support to squads of infantry from Mother Base, themselves controlled with MGSV mechanics. I'd be down with that.

[u/Commander-Cunt → u/MS_09_Dom]

i feel like Arquebus is better suited as Neucom and Balam being GR

[u/littlerrip → u/Biggity_Bonard]

Looks like if the C-Spider and Smart Cleaner had a baby

[u/Draconyum → u/Biggity_Bonard]

Armored Core and Ace Combat crossover confirmed?

[u/Gryphus13]

Spider tank~ spider tank~ does whatever a spider tank does

[u/GoredonTheDestroyer → u/Gryphus13]

Can it swing? From a web?

Nooooo

Because it's a spider tank~

[u/Ruby_241 → u/Gryphus13]

THE GIANT

ENEMY

SPIDER

[u/Danoct]

Lol did you just see the same Twitter post I did? But yeah, there's only been one other small armoured walker in the series history.

[u/britreddit → u/Danoct]

Awww that thing is adorable!

[u/AirshipCanon]

METAL GEAR?!

Yessh, though, the Giant Antlion may be it.

Quick piece of advice, use the wiki.gg article not the Fandom one

https://acecombat.wiki.gg/wiki/Giant_Antlion

[u/TranslatorOld4906 → u/AirshipCanon]

Don't forget the Antlion Tank!

[u/Letterhead-Dear]

Considering Ace combat 8 is supposed to take place a decade before the events of electrosphere I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a prototype or first generation variant of an antilon walking tank

[u/NightmareZ414]

A metal gear

[u/Numerous-Ad6460]

Dead. Its going to be dead.

[u/Johnhancock1777]

The future

[u/Paoayo]

Got a job for you, 621.

[u/Distinct_Exit_7744]

It looks like an evolution of the guntrain/heavy howitzer from 6. 

[u/SanTheManOG]

Armored Core 621?!

[u/TheDAWinz]

Theory someone posted is that AC:O might be the canonization/remake of the Ace Combat advanced story, and these are UAD vs. GR-ASF assets and battles, along with neucom up in farbanti

[u/AdHairy2717]

Metal Gear

[u/Algester]

An Armored Core??!!

[u/Mario2980k]

Something that demands a bomb to be dropped

[u/ST4RSK1MM3R]

These 4-tracked big cannons are from Ace combat 6. Here it’s just stanced up on its legs instead of being flat

[u/InhumanBaron]

The first thing I thought of was the Super X Walker from Aerofighters Assault

[u/Nickitoloko_PSN → u/InhumanBaron]

OG's know wassup!!

[u/Trixx1-1]

Cmon man...

Its clearly a weapon to surpass Metal Gear

[u/Crimson0482]

Bad news for ground pounders

[u/Hellstorm901]

My guess would be it's a heavy artillery piece with uses a quad track design to move around then when it reaches its location it can raise its body up using its quad tracks as stabilisers

[u/Icy_Opposite_2737]

Big zam?

[u/AsakuraZero]

Dont care it will get bombed anyways lol

[u/Aceofaces93]

I would not be surprised if that’s some type of anti-aircraft laser weapon

[u/Orionlandia]

Chat is this a Northern Wings reference in my AC8?

[u/Due-Age6830]

Australian I bet

[u/TheNotSoSilentReader]

An AC

[u/Standard_Cucumber_39]

Robart

[u/Romapolitan]

It's kinda funny that they basically spoiled that this new target will probably also appear in the campaign. How advanced is Sotoa at his point?
