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 Bogdanoffs 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 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.

Episode 3
Armstrong instantly sets himself as a strong opponent by winning the 6-man royale, proving his might.

Episode 4
Then, he cements himself as one of the strongest by defeating the current champion, a hardened mercenary known as Mr. Grim Reaper.

Episode 5
However, it is suspected that wasn't the real champion and that he had been replaced to give Armstrong the win on purpose. But why?

Episode 6
Now facing the real Grim Reaper with a few friends, Armstrong is demolished by a mercenary yet again, losing the title and bending to the strongest.

Episode 8
Armstrong even struck a deal with the Bogdanoff to help them in their plans in exchange to making him president of the United States once they conquer the world. However, the Bogdanoffs had different plans for America...

Season 2

Episode 2
He begins by crushing a foreign criminal under his might.

Episode 5
Armstrong announces his cash-in against "Jack" to prove that he deserves the Title by being the stronger one and to have his revenge.

Episode 6
Beating him fair and square (probably due to the fact Raiden had removed some of his augmentations), Armstrong proved once against his strength was to be reckoned with.

Episode 8
Fighting a man who, as he said it, "believed that america is #1", he was defeated by his own tactics of warmaking.

Episode 9
Fighting against the newly re-upgraded Raiden, he once against defeated the coomer who seemed way too immersed on his VR games.

Episode 12
Still bearing the title, he gets challenged by a scummy little assassin, however, his attempts to defeat Armstrong prove fruitless, for you can't kill what is mightier than even itself.

Season 3
Still keeping the title of /v/ into S3, it seems as if no-one could defeat Armstrong and steal the title from him.

Episode 1
However, when it came time for his match, Maximillion Pegasus had a trick under his sleeve, he had activated his field card, Toon World, making everything look like a toon. This weirdness created enough mental pollution on Armstrong to leave him weak, and was defeated.

Episode 6
A fury slowly accumulated inside Armstrong, and he called out his nemesis once again. He wanted to fight Jack once again, and show once and for all who was superior. However, he didn't get the Jack he desired and have to beat this impostor.

Episode 7
Not to commit the same mistake again, he called out the name Raiden this time. Yet again, a guy named Raiden who was not his Raiden came out, and he had to defeat this "blunder god" instead of fighting his cyborg opponent once again.

Season 4
Armstrong continues wanting that rematch that will give him fame and power, yet he's always close but not there. He's decided to change that.

Episode 2
Trying to qualify to represent /v/ on this new tournament, he fights 4 people. but one stands out of them: a lawyer, bureaucratic filth of the kind that sits behind a desk without having the strength required to be the law. However, this man stands up to Armstrong the most of his other opponents, and even though he is subdued at the end, he gave Armstrong quite the struggle.

However, it doesn't end there, as Kojima decides to give him a solo rematch against Armstrong. A weakened senator and an ace attorney clash, and this time however Armstrong is defeated.

Yet he still won't give up! When Armstrong leaves, he attacks him backstage and defeats the senator once again, and in an unprecedented move, Kojima himself gives him the /v/ category slot in the tournament.

Episode 4
When Kojima's hand was turning TFR at his whims and unease spread among the wrestlers, riots began in the locker rooms. However, Kojima sent the legendary HUNK to deal with them, and the rioters backed up in fear; all but one man who would always fight for freedom―Senator Steven Armstrong.

He stepped up to HUNK's might and the two battled. Senator Armstrong pushed his nanomachines to the limit in turning his skin pure metal, but in the end he finally did it, he won against the living legend mercenary HUNK, and he won for FREEDOM.

In the middle of the fight, Armstrong activated his Super-Nanomachines, a gift from Kojima, turning his skin solid as metal in response to pain."'You can't hurt me, HUNK'"

Episode 5
To prove it once again, Kojima arranges a rematch with the Laws of Wrestling of the 2K19 universe, and without his Super-Nanomachines Armstrong and the Grim REaper reach a standstill, being equal in power.

Episode 9
However, it was revealed that that win was a fluke, Senator Armstrong didn't step in to defend TFR, but to gain it's trust, as he was but another mere agent of Kojima just putting an act.

Episode 10
Right after the TCR Invasion had stalled to delay The Final Impact, Kojima started getting worried people would find a way to escape the 2K19 universe. With the Prototypes on repair, he sent Armstrong to return any one crossing the portal to their inevitable doom, but much to his shock and terror, he had been intercepted by none other than The Court, the very team he had practically welcomed into his plan due to betraying their friends for him.

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
As a distraction so neither Kojima nor Armstrong interfere in Tohya Hachijo's match, Kirei Kotomine sent his servant Dimitri with the order of stalling the most amount of time possible. Even though he was defeated, he managed to accomplish his mission.
