In TALON's Grasp
by: T.R. Fanatic
Bonus: AC Designs and More
T.R.: This is not part of the story, but if you read this first before the whole story, you might be spoiled.
So... because I pretty much suck at describing the AC's for you, I've created this assembly list for the AC's seen so far in this story (it will be updated every time a new AC is introduced)...
Oh, and one more thing, all of these parts can be found in Master of the Arena. (You can try it on Armored Core and Project Phantasma, but you'll have to tweak some parts...)
