Senator Armstrong

Senator Armstrong is the villain and final boss os Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

The Bog's greatest weapon, the usurper of the throne, the menace himself. Ever since he entered, he's always been the most recurrent threat to HUNK's title, and has nearly always won.

Might Makes Right
Born and raised in Texas, Steven Armstrong had always dreamt of greatness. After a successful football career at the University of Texas, Armstrong joined the Navy to serve his country. However, Armstrong was unsatisfied, noting that many of his compatriots were content with following their superiors' orders rather than questioning them and their actions. Armstrong sought to change this system with his own hands and went into politics. In order to gain enough power, Armstrong had to start with himself. He struck a deal with the certain organizations in exchange for nanomachines, vastly increasing his strength and endurance on top of his already impressive physique.

At some point he would fight some white-haired cyborg who believed he "killed" him, but he had managed to survive.

Season 1
A true American patriot, Armstrong wishes to rebuild the American ideology. To do this, he needs funding and enough publicity to secure the seat in the Oval Office. The Final Rumble provides both in spades. Armstrong fights for political recognition for his so that he can change the current American ideals of consumerism and nationalism. With his own strength, Armstrong will show the unenlightened masses the real American Dream, a dream in which anyone can fight for what they believe in rather than following the ideology of others.

Armstrong cares not for things like Team FMS or NWF. Instead, his aim is set higher, directly to the higher powers present in TFR, but first he'll have to show them a glimpse of his power.

Episode 0

However, it doesn't end there, as Kojima decides to give him a solo surprise rematch against Armstrong due to fan demand. A weakened senator is attacked and clashes with an ace attorney, this time however being defeated.

During the fight, when he turned his Super-Nanomachines to become invincible, they suddenly turned off 30 minutes later. Could it be that damn Wright did something from the sidelines? Edgeworth managed to deliver critical strikes to the surprised Armstrong and defeat it.

Episode 11
