Trivia

  • The item name is a references to the nanomachines which Senator Armstrong uses in the final battle of the game " Metal Gear Rising: Revengence " and his famous quote: "Nanomachines, son!" The item's function also references said quote, as they "harden in response to physical trauma" , which in the game is represented by getting armor after getting hit.
  • The unused "College Ball" synergy also references Armstrong; the [Ballot] references the fact that Armstrong runs for president, and the name of the synergy is another one of his quotes: "Played college ball, ya know."
