All-Time Best Special Weapon in MML1

[Buster Cannon]

What, no Shield Arm?

I'm going to have to go with the Vacuum Arm here. When I need some spare cash, this thing's always there for me. It quickly pays for itself too. ;D

[godzillahomer]

I say vacuum, it provides an easier way to upgrade the other weapons

[mybusterbroke]

No matter how uber awesome other weapons are, even if they can 2 shot bosses (ahem shining laser ) the wouldn't be that awesome if it wasn't for my quick Zenny up Vacuum Arm.

[Reaverguy Rises]

It is a tie for me. I like theshining laser and spread buster, which I am glad I don'thaveto choose between them.

[ax32]

I always liked the machine gun.

[ravior]

I like the Vacuum arm the most. But I also like the GRAND GRENADEs too. You know, the weapon that isn't in the poll? Yeah.

lol, just kidding. I'm not going to vote for the others, because my Buster is already strong enough to take out any enemy quickly. So, the only one I really use is the Vacuum. Cause picking up refractor shards is such a pain.

Shining laser FTW =]

The Vacuum arm was very useful though...

[Handlebar-Orion X.]

Shining Laser all the way! It's a problem solver to the inth degree. Like killing bugs with Fantastic. It gets the job done.

[Dr. Jerk]

Vacuum arm, as it was personally the only weapon I ever found useful... and used... other than the Powered Buster.

[Kaerth]

Aww man, my favourite weapon isn't on the poll!

I always was a fan of the powered buster myself because of the reasonable cost to upgrade it, modest power, and massive range.

But given its not on the list, Lazorz!

[Edich]

Shining Laser is awesome, of course. But it's expensive as all hell and harder to obtain.

So as much as I love lasers, I'm going with the Active Buster. It's only slightly less powerful, also gets infinite energy, has more distance, has a homing function, and either OHKOs or significantly slows down(letting you hit it more) anything that wasn't a high-level boss. Besides, it killed Juno as fast as the Shining Laser did for me.

If this was MML2, I'd vote the Hyper Shell for essentially the same reasons. Sans the homing function and speed, of course. But with extra bang and extra distance.

Then again, the Shining Laser let you turn in place, that was always fun. But nah, it's cost outweighs it's gain on a normal or speed-run playthrough.

Despite how expensive the upgrades are and the fact that it's harder to obtain than the other weapons, my favourite weapon would have to be the Shining Laser.

[purifierunit20xx]

I loved the Machine Buster! Also, I thought the shining laser just made everything too easy to have it be fun.

[adrian2040n]

Definitely the Active Buster. I was able to beat Sera on my first try using it. I never really understood why people say she is a very difficult boss.

Also, I never used the Shining Laser after I heard of its cheapness. I like a good challenge.

EDIT: Oops. I got mixed up MML2's Homing Missiles and the Active Buster again. I still like the Active Buster and I still beat JUNO at my... second try with it.

[Mikéy]

Whoa, you can fight Sera in MML1?

Anyway, I voted for the Shining Loser 'cause... well, I can't say I'm a huge fan of any of the other weapons, but if i were disallowed that, then I'd go with the Powered Buster (which isn't even up there! ) Makes a very nice boom.
