Hell on Four Legs - G1 Michigan Boss Interception Dialogue | AC 6

Did anyone notice how he remembers most of his personnel's names? Chad through and through.

"you can go home now or follow me if you have a dying wish" "READY TO DIE, SIR!" Mad respect

I love how, despite being at odds with you, Michigan shows you some respect for your achievements over the course of the campaign. It's to the point that he belittles his own soldiers the moment they start talking smack because he's seen first-hand what you're capable of.

This is the mission that made me want a Balam route. The way his MT pilots so willingly plunge feet first into essentially a cage match... I got second hand hype when I heard them all screaming at me.

I was too preoccupied to hear half of this hilarity. "2000 Albany's...SIR!" 😂

Good man. Remembered all of his subordinate's men, built his AC not as a one man army, but as a platform to support one, egochecks his men when they get too big for their britches, and allows his men to bow out of the fight should they need to. Fucking shame he had to die.

I love that he recognizes your skill as an AC pilot. "Until the Liger Tail deploys, the odds are NOT IN YOUR FAVOR." Michigan has seen what you can do, and is fully aware that waves of MTs are simply not going to cut it.

Michigan knows the names of all MT pilots under his command, that's an impressive feat. Think of him as a Drill Sergeant who yells at you 24/7 but would gladly took a bullet for you. That says a lot about Balam's command structure. Unlike Snail who purposedly left his men to die so he can hog all the glory

yeah this was a crazy fight. When I beat Michigan and the grunts were like "He must have given as good as he got. We can still win this!' i agreed and was still scared since i only had like 2000 health left, no heals

Guys dont worry. He didnt die in battle He just fell down some stairs

Genuinely wish we had an option to side with him, like in the mission with Swinburne. Great character, great dialogue and great voice actor :). Thanks for the nice video, as always.

my absolute favourite line in the game is "They're good you know? They go real far when you throw them." The characterization, the delivery. its hilarious i love it.

“The only clown around here is you kennebec” is totally something Batman from Batman brave and the bold would say, and it sounds almost identical

I love how despite pushing his squad really hard, he still genuinely cares for them. Like how he doesn’t judge them if they choose to withdraw. Also how he remembers all of their names. He’s tough, but he’s a good leader. Like real drill sergeants.

This mission will always be my favorite because it really feels like you’re fighting an entire faction and you have to adapt to fighting one of the strongests acs while being shot at from every direction as your ammo will drain rapidly if you bring high caliber weapons it’s so hectic good preparation as well as clever rationing got me my first s rank just because i like doing this sortie for fun and seeing how builds fair against this mission

I don’t know why but I’m so obsessed with “Intercept the Redguns” from a narrative standpoint. At this point, Balam Industries is completely screwed now that Arquebus Corporation possesses the scavenged PCA tech to drive them off-world, pretty much all the Redguns have either deserted or were killed off and many of the lesser grunts and MTs were wiped out by the Watchpoint’s defenses and mass desertions occurring and all G1 Michigan has left of his forces are his most fanatical MT squadrons taking on a pointless mission of trying to take down Raven and hopelessly charge through NEPENTHES. But does he turn tail and run? No, he orders his soldiers to charge into battle against a single pilot of mass destruction (C4-621 Raven/V.IV Rusty) for a hopeless battle in the service of an uncaring corporation and dying senseless deaths on the battlefield, par for the course in the world of Armored Core. Sure, Michigan could’ve read the room and knew this to be a lost cause and joined the withdrawal from Rubicon 3 to face the wrath of Balam’s higher ups for his failure but he’ll be damned if he wasn’t going all in to “bag the big one” and take a shot at eliminating the Wall Climber, the Worm Killer and the only G13 who has lived this long. Even when he dies, does his MT squadron break and try to flee? No, they assert that Michigan gave it his all, stand their ground and continue to fight. If 621 dies, Michigan wastes no time calling in relief teams to the front to tend to the wounded. Even Handler Walter doesn’t sound ecstatic about killing Michigan off, simply telling 621 to get the job done. They must’ve known each other back on Jupiter when Walter was sent there as a boy before the Fires of Ibis erupted. I’m almost reminded of Stannis Baratheon and his ill-fated March to Winterfell from Game of Thrones (TV Series only! Book Stannis is very different and much more successful). Forces depleted from mass desertions and facing overwhelming odds with no hope of victory but goes down fighting. Goddamn, I so wish there was a route to side with Balam all the way, maybe a DLC or “AC6.1” game like For Answer and Verdict Day where we have more options to side with the other factions such as the PCA or BRANCH.

He remembers them all by name, gives you respect for your work throughout the game, and has a killer reputation all of his own. I wished we could have sided with Balam. I can only imagine Michigan would cheer you on taking down Snail or Freud.

loved this mission. I wish the game had more missions as intense as this one. I felt sad having to kill Michigan. I felt even sad when I did NG+ and found out he died regardless. If not by your hand, then by Rusty's hand.

0:47 she got roasted real hard

He may be gone but he is forever remembered in our hearts
