@@cireoath336 Well that's an interesting question. If we try to build something like an MT today, it would be astronomically expensive, but considering that in AC6 universe people have such massive production equipment like Strider and Grids, MTs would probably have a reasonable coast, like a modern armored cars or whatever

I think the elcano connection is the important linchpin here. Elcano is more explicitly RLF oriented, as they stole information from arquebus, and allowed rusty to pilot their magnum opus
Very true, the elcano certain made it clear who they were helping then again i bet the money for all this came from BAWS. I can't imagine the money flowing out of that place with no one else producing mts.
@@armoredcorelore Well we know Elcano was stealing technology from Arquebus, perhaps BAWS agreed to bank roll Elcano for the RLF in exchange for a share of whatever they acquired. After all, the only frame they produced in game is the Basho, which is well behind the times. Perhaps they saw the RLF as a way to steal the technology necessary to modernize?
The Basho/Jailbreak even look similar to the humanoid MT's BAWS had produced and distributed all over Rubicon, like they just took the base model MT, uparmored it, gave it a head with a sensor suite, then a bigger engine and interchangeable frame parts before selling it. Then when it miraculously worked, every other company was off to the freakin' races on Armored Core development.
Yes i found that strange too. Then again maybe its something to do with game coding that needed to give that ac its look. Honestly while neat i think i would have liked another frame rather then a a worse basho frame.
Baws and their incredibly high amount of melee specialization makes this company have a soft spot for me. Even though the Basho arms got a nerf in the defence area, the heavyweight "Salad" arm got a buff. Made a build today and I must admit that being in favour of heavy ACs helps a lot in melee fights!
Yeah i can see being big and bulky being good for up close and personal fights. Its just a shame the basho seemed to be the only ac they made and then went. You know that's it, no more ac for us. But to be honest if i was the only corporation pumping out mts and they were selling like hotcake. I think I'd stop working on ac's too.
lol I do this alot, I apologize. The arms I refer to in question are part of the RaD line but I always get them mixed up. Mostly because I switch to the second last logo screen for their decals and select the one that says: "BAWS RaD" with Rubiconian written on the bottom@@armoredcorelore
Stranger too since their MTs have a laser blade of their own. It seems similar to the design of the one ALLMIND uses on it's IBIS series mech that both Ayre used in her ending and Iguazu used when he merged with it.@@lawsontse1545
The Basho reminds me of how ACs looked in older games, boxy and clunky, so the in-universe nostalgia could be derived from people who played the old Playstation 1 and 2 AC titles.
@@armoredcoreloreseems like almost every corporation in this game takes a design philosophy from one of the various generations of Armored Core; BAWS: Gen 1 (the boxy and simple design aesthethic, with easy to use weaponry ["Core Theory"]) BALAM: Gen 2 (their AC parts are pretty much a high resolution recreation the starter set from AC2) Arquebus: Gen 3/3.5 (They and their subsidiaries have the more rounded look that the higher resolution games were able to achieve with better graphics, also utilize more beam weaponry) Schneider/Elcano: Gen 4 (their ACs are usually faster and more agile than all the others, like mini NEXTs, and focus on lighter-weight weaponry overall) Dafeng: Gen 5 (an emphasis on more defensive, heavier ACs, like the armor-plated ACs of ACV and Verdict Day, and equally high-power weapons to counter all that armor) RaD, ALLMIND, and Rubicon Research don't really have a definable era of Armored Core that their designs fit into.
Basho gives me a little bit of an Armored Trooper VOTOMS vibe. Great show that influenced a bit of Armored Core along other shows. The arms having high melee stats but BAWS having little melee weapons reminds me how the Scopedogs from VOTOMS have piston fists for CQC but no melee weapons. I wish we can get a model kit of the Basho once they start releasing 30 Minute Mission kits for AC6.
it's really surprising BAWS doesn't produce a melee weapon for their ACs. hell, if you include all the rubiconian corporations, the only melee weapon they've produced is the DOUBLE TROUBLE.
@@armoredcorelore there is a bit of a fun theory about that, the second letter in the RaD parts names, (C, S, B, R) correspond to each of the RaD characters (carla, stick, brute, rummy). it can be inferred that the RaD characters designed the parts that have their letter on them, so DOUBLE TROUBLE might've been designed by "honest" brute specifically
@@eclipserepeater2466 it's charming to think that the early days of AC combat was more like Patlabor, and had a lot of hand-to-hand fighting against heavy construction MTs
the Basho is rly just an slightly upscaled version of the various BAWS MTs, replacing the head-weapon mount either artillery or missile launcher for a head camera. i know they aint 1:1 the same, but they still look very similar in the end....
Pretty much with the basho being an older ac model to come from mts. I think sharing that similar look is quite cool and shows the history of armored core creation here well.
if you take into consideration thats baws developed an outdated Armored core Model that stands little chance against new models. makes me realize how dangerous Thumb really is.
It isn't they are weak by any means, granted. They aren't super great if your up close and personal But they do alot of good for reload and speed builds funny enough
@@Year_of_the_Dell i'm mostly talking about the more realistic nature of the baws models that isn't related in-game traits. i get that they have good AP and good Melee stats for skilled pilots. in-game. but taking into the realistic nature of it: even both iguazu and Volta mockingly remark that the Busho model is no different than an MT they use as target practice. you'll even notice that pilots like Index and Little Ziyi are placed at the bottom of the ranks due to their restriction using Baws Models, while their more experienced fighters: Middle Flatwell, Ring freddie, and , Rokumonsen use the newer Elcano models. but putting a more realistic perspective and not game logic, Thumb Dolmayan was a dangerous Pilot than he appears.

"cause otherwise by your logic Rummy should be way higher since he uses BALAM parts" actually he's using Dafeng Parts, mixed with Poorly modifications of the Wrecker arms and Legs, and a gen 1 BAWs generator barely able to even lift him or move around the area for his melee lunges. added in to the fact that he's more high on Coral than any dosser on rubicon, he's essentially Killdozer in ACFA, kills anything, chases anything, and doesn't think about anything but stomping you. which in turn makes him unable to perform well against other pilots like little ziyi and Index who at least have better judgement than rummy does. but little Ziyi was too emotional as a fighter, and index wasn't an experienced fighter. but at least they arn't crackheads like rummy.
BAWS are one of my favorites just alone for their BASHO AC. I ended using a BASHO AC for the majority of my NG+ and NG++ playthroughs as I really liked how the BASHO chest piece had really good booster efficiency without having to sacrafice as much on AP. Also having the best melee arms helps a ton as well.
Very informative video. I love it. I can see why the Rubicon Liberation Front has a heart on BAWS. They believe everyone, no matter what faction or government, should have mt's. What I am really looking for are normals.
I’d imagine that any corporation involved in such a scenario would be concerned about one thing in general: profit. As long as you have money, the world opens up to you, and that wouldn’t be any different on Rubicon. My guess is that BAWS did have many people who were sympathetic to the RLF since they shared the planet for a long time, but their number one goal was making sure they were in business and just found the Rubiconian sympathy angle as a way to appeal to Elcano getting involved along with straight cash. In a sense, everyone wins: The RLF sympathizers get their ally they need to help combat Arquebus and Balam, and BAWS gets to kick competition off the planet while also being friends with a next-gen AC part company. Note that the Houkushi generator was made with Elcano’s help. That means now BAWS has access to an ally who can help them develop next gen AC tech. If From Software create a direct sequel to this game like what happened with the fourth and fifth entries, I’d imagine BAWS will have some more high tech equipment in their arsenal during that time.
Sure i can get behind this thought, but i did want to explore the angle of them being possible sympathetic to Front's cause or maybe some home pride in the video. I like to think it added more meat to the bones of BAWS lore and opened up them more for discussions and thoughts. As for what come next well let's hope no another long sleep for ac while they decided what to do with it.
I just found your channel via Cleric Armored Core and I'm so glad! I'm developing a fan-made dating sim based on AC6 and these videos are so helpful in my research!
Cleric is an awesome ac youtuber so i am glad hear this. Happy the videos are helping with research too. Please do you'll let me know when the dating sim is out as I'd love to give it a playthrough.
@@armoredcorelore it was from software's most underrated game, some of its design choices would inspire some of the design choices of ACV and ACVD. the only reason it sort of failed was because IGN slandered it with a minimal run on the online multiplayer which was the real selling point of the game.
Late reply to the video but for a company like BAWS designing arms that were almost entirely designed for a melee induced combat and close range fighting. They severely lacked in making melee weapons
@@armoredcorelore I hope if a DLC or second 6th gen AC game makes it in we see more about the Rubiconian Corporations, or an expanded range of weaponry that was previously unavailable regardless. Still loved the game like previous titles.
Oh you know me, From could let me just wander around the factories or bases as a normal person and i would spend hours taking it all. Give me masked npc too that spout lore or everyday things and I'd be gone for hours.
RLF: Hey... Do yo have, idk some new Armored Core model that I can buy? BAWS: ACs?! HAHAHAHAHA NAHHHHH Who need ACs? What you need is MTs lots and lots of them and look There is an army of those old reliable fellow right there, come come RLF: Maaaan I should have go to Elcano
Dont forget there thumb dolmayan's ac on investigate baws factory above. After u fight with 3 hiding ghost dont go in to the next stage, just go up. And saw the lying head down wrecked AC
I swear Fromsoft kinda dropped the ball on their products, at least have another AC model, maybe a shoddy attempt at remaking the Ephemera. At least then Dunam, Zi Yi and Domayan can mix and match into their own thing and not just "BASHO but with different bits".
I would have liked more ac from Baws. But maybe there was not enough time or focus went somewhere else for the team. Shame really as more boxy ac's would have been neat.
I enjoyed the Basho greatly and wished BAWS had a later model with a similar design philosophy like all the other corps, but sadly, we instead got a busted junk version of the Basho. AC6 did BAWS dirty.
You know i would have to agree with you there. I enjoyed the small time i had with the ac, so it would have been nice to get another Basho model ac which was not the junk one.
ngl some of the baws parts like kikaku, kyorai and kyoriku being pronounced the way they were in the video weirded me out but hey, more armored core content is never a bad thing~
Well i listened to a few pronounces guides and went with them. To be honest i will keep trying to learn the correct way to say these names, but its going to take a while.
The truth is we never actually seen how muscle tracers work on the inside as such we theorise its somehow connected with a pilot muscles to mimic movement. In the tetrapods case and this is my wild guess that it works like crab legs do. So if the left leg muscles of the pilot move, in turn the craft crawls left. The same can be said with the right. For forwards and backwords it might be the case that both legs of the pilot have to move forward or backward causing all legs to have to move the same way or having to just boosters to move forward and backwards since crabs do really walk forwards or backwards. On the other hand it could be controlled by a control stick or two since the pilot has to work the weapons too if they are alone. If not then maybe a driver and a gunner?
@@murunbuchstanzangur It could well be well in the tetrapods case anyway. As old bishop mts we see back in ac1 and to be fair even here in ac6 now named Mt t 026 i am guessing would be able to controlled by a single pilot.
imma be honest, BAWS having a team with biggest brains created the miracle generator that literally can run everything, the Hokushi lmao
It is a pretty sweet generator. I admit i enjoyed my time with my BAWS ac.
Their frame is surprisingly good as well. That boost adjustment is no joke. Even their weapons are notoriously easy to use due to low energy cost and recoil.
Tbf the Hokushi used to be really underwhelming, it got buffed in a patch so that's a bit of a retcon.

I am sure someone thought of it in the meeting and who am i to say wall-e did not hit the gym.
Someone made the Basho look like Soundwave, and I’m all for it
But I think someone did a wall-e as well
Everytime I hear BAWSI think of Cartman from that southpark ep.
Before I have to turn RUclips to Elmo videos after dinner with a toddler, I sit by myself and watch armored core lore. 😅
Ha ha know that feeling. Just had to watch an hour of postman pat with my niece before i got back to my own youtube watching.
@@armoredcorelore once the kids go to sleep. That's my time to play games and watch Mecha 😈
@@DamplyDoo Sounds good to me =)
Very informative video. I love it. I can see why the Rubicon Liberation Front has a heart on BAWS. They believe everyone, no matter what faction or government, should have mt's. What I am really looking for are normals.
Thank you and well BAWS certainly have you covered with the mts.
A big thank you to twitter.com/DaAppleisBaking for the ending art which shows the next video topic.
Is the next video just about PCA Heavy Cavalry, or everything related to the Planetary Closure Administration?
Everything to do with the PCA. Honest much as i like to do videos on single crafts, there really is not enough there lore wise to make a video.
I’d imagine that any corporation involved in such a scenario would be concerned about one thing in general: profit. As long as you have money, the world opens up to you, and that wouldn’t be any different on Rubicon. My guess is that BAWS did have many people who were sympathetic to the RLF since they shared the planet for a long time, but their number one goal was making sure they were in business and just found the Rubiconian sympathy angle as a way to appeal to Elcano getting involved along with straight cash. In a sense, everyone wins: The RLF sympathizers get their ally they need to help combat Arquebus and Balam, and BAWS gets to kick competition off the planet while also being friends with a next-gen AC part company.
Note that the Houkushi generator was made with Elcano’s help. That means now BAWS has access to an ally who can help them develop next gen AC tech. If From Software create a direct sequel to this game like what happened with the fourth and fifth entries, I’d imagine BAWS will have some more high tech equipment in their arsenal during that time.
Sure i can get behind this thought, but i did want to explore the angle of them being possible sympathetic to Front's cause or maybe some home pride in the video. I like to think it added more meat to the bones of BAWS lore and opened up them more for discussions and thoughts. As for what come next well let's hope no another long sleep for ac while they decided what to do with it.
I just found your channel via Cleric Armored Core and I'm so glad! I'm developing a fan-made dating sim based on AC6 and these videos are so helpful in my research!
Cleric is an awesome ac youtuber so i am glad hear this. Happy the videos are helping with research too.
Please do you'll let me know when the dating sim is out as I'd love to give it a playthrough.
I like the shockwavezaku look they gave there parts I stuck with them mostly when I played.
Balls
Ah all i can think about is a certain musical when people say this now ha ha.
Can't help but be reminded of Squaresoft's logo before the change to Square Enix.
Hmmm you know now you say that.
Me when I hear: armoredcorelore! 😊
=)
It's literally his catchphrase lmao
Wow, it is so awesome to see your channel is taking off! Your AC interests are really making it happen!
Very kind of you to say Nova, but as always i will say its really thanks to everyone willing to give my videos a chance.
Nice work on Baws corporation
Thank you.
I wonder if there is anything on Elcano
To be honest not a lot so far, but the lore hunt is one that never ends.
I’d like to share the fun fact that in Scotland "all" in words often ends up as "aw". And so "BAWS" reads like "balls" to me and I laugh every time
Ha ha well that's kind of neat.
Do you plan to do a PCA video ?
I do in fact the preview for the next video at the end of this one is the very well drawn thumbnail and art for the PCA video this week.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for the kind praise.
I thought they would have made a tetrapod AC because they made the big tetrapod MTs
Would have given us more acs to mess with.
The BAWS heavy MT remind me of the Moskoivan Heavy Quadruped Hound from From Software's other but less fortunate mech game: Chromehounds.
I need to do a lore video on Chromehounds. Just for fun.
@@armoredcorelore it was from software's most underrated game, some of its design choices would inspire some of the design choices of ACV and ACVD.
the only reason it sort of failed was because IGN slandered it with a minimal run on the online multiplayer which was the real selling point of the game.
@@Duke_of_Petchington it a shame as I was not much an online player but I liked the single player. It was different and fun.
Late reply to the video but for a company like BAWS designing arms that were almost entirely designed for a melee induced combat and close range fighting. They severely lacked in making melee weapons
They did, come on baws ha ha. Ah but to be fair the corporation was more sold to us as a mt factory anyway bless them.
@@armoredcorelore I hope if a DLC or second 6th gen AC game makes it in we see more about the Rubiconian Corporations, or an expanded range of weaponry that was previously unavailable regardless. Still loved the game like previous titles.
Oh you know me, From could let me just wander around the factories or bases as a normal person and i would spend hours taking it all. Give me masked npc too that spout lore or everyday things and I'd be gone for hours.
RLF: Hey... Do yo have, idk some new Armored Core model that I can buy?
BAWS: ACs?!
HAHAHAHAHA
NAHHHHH
Who need ACs?
What you need is MTs lots and lots of them and look
There is an army of those old reliable fellow right there, come come
RLF: Maaaan I should have go to Elcano
Ha ha just the poor Basho in the back covered in the dust.
Dont forget there thumb dolmayan's ac on investigate baws factory above. After u fight with 3 hiding ghost dont go in to the next stage, just go up. And saw the lying head down wrecked AC
Mmmh sweet sweet lore
I just wish there was more.
next time: PCA (A.K.A fans of Gundam)
But you got to admit the ending art was pretty sick.
NOT FEDDIES
I swear Fromsoft kinda dropped the ball on their products, at least have another AC model, maybe a shoddy attempt at remaking the Ephemera. At least then Dunam, Zi Yi and Domayan can mix and match into their own thing and not just "BASHO but with different bits".
I would have liked more ac from Baws. But maybe there was not enough time or focus went somewhere else for the team. Shame really as more boxy ac's would have been neat.
I enjoyed the Basho greatly and wished BAWS had a later model with a similar design philosophy like all the other corps, but sadly, we instead got a busted junk version of the Basho. AC6 did BAWS dirty.
You know i would have to agree with you there. I enjoyed the small time i had with the ac, so it would have been nice to get another Basho model ac which was not the junk one.
ngl some of the baws parts like kikaku, kyorai and kyoriku being pronounced the way they were in the video weirded me out
but hey, more armored core content is never a bad thing~
Well i listened to a few pronounces guides and went with them. To be honest i will keep trying to learn the correct way to say these names, but its going to take a while.
So... muscle tracers mimic the movements of their users, right?
So how does the baws tetrapod MT work? What controls the other 2 legs?
The truth is we never actually seen how muscle tracers work on the inside as such we theorise its somehow connected with a pilot muscles to mimic movement. In the tetrapods case and this is my wild guess that it works like crab legs do. So if the left leg muscles of the pilot move, in turn the craft crawls left. The same can be said with the right. For forwards and backwords it might be the case that both legs of the pilot have to move forward or backward causing all legs to have to move the same way or having to just boosters to move forward and backwards since crabs do really walk forwards or backwards.
On the other hand it could be controlled by a control stick or two since the pilot has to work the weapons too if they are alone. If not then maybe a driver and a gunner?
@@armoredcorelore interesting! It could be a semi automated system perhaps?
@@murunbuchstanzangur It could well be well in the tetrapods case anyway. As old bishop mts we see back in ac1 and to be fair even here in ac6 now named Mt t 026 i am guessing would be able to controlled by a single pilot.
These guys give me anaheim electronics vibes
A gundam company in ac?! Ha ha AC and gundam do share a lot of ideas so i can see why.
My man nerding out with Armored Core epic videos as always
Ha ha thank you for your kind words.
Basho arms ftw!
Seriously pile bunker on my left missile launcher or shotgun on my right
They pretty sweet arms, but so few weapons from BAWS.
cool :3
Thanks.
Greetings
And salutations dear traveller of this vast digital land.
Erm the "shi" sounds in BAWS named are pronounced "shee" not "sai". I believe BAWS uses japanese names for their parts.
Is that so, it is fun to learn. And yes the parts are named after famous Japanese poets.
The Russian AC'S
This is Phezzan from Legend of the Galactic Heroes. The goddamn Swiss
Well i just went down a internet rabbit hole to find about all this. It was neat =)
