Super Scimitar

A Super Scimitar in Armpred Core: Project Phantasma

The Super Scimitar is an MT that appears in Armored Core: Project Phantasma and its remake missions in Armored Core: Nexus.

Overview

The Super Scimitar is special in that it is one of the few transformable MT's, which has the capability to switch from a bipedal "Chicken Walker" unit with a large top to a very fast and agile hit-and-run fighter. This is done by folding back the units legs. It also makes an appearance Armored Core: Nexus Revolution disk as a special boss. The Scimitar possesses moderate weapons capabilities, and is possibly one of the few MT's capable of fighting an AC almost equally. A squad or two of the Scimitar can easily destroy an unwary Armored Core. The Super Scimitar is actually the Scimitar equipped with a flight pack, although the pack only gives limited flight performance.
