Starting off as a simple bait-and-switch gag for Mighty No. 7, the Apple Numbers seem to have taken on a life of their own! The following juicy pieces make their rise to fruity fame clear as day!

THE PEN IS MIGHTIER… 

...than the sword! So the saying goes, and looking at Mighty No. 7689’s very own sweet Mighty No. robot design (and others' designs here too) I am a believer! (a Beck-liever? Nevermind…) …

Of course, let’s not forget our main man Beck! The Mighty Community sure didn’t; in fact, they brought him to life in a variety of different flavors! 
First, how about some more realistic renderings? 
Nice, huh? Now how about some more cartoony incarnations?

And finally… well, these awesome crossover pieces defy description, so we’ll let them do the talking for us!

Thanks as always to the Mighty Community for these awesome works of art! Alrighty guys, that’s all for this ti--oh, what’s this?
Mighties, we interrupt this update to bring you a special report. We have a surprise guest here with some news, and he needs your help! I’ll let him explain: 
Koji Imaeda: Hi again, everyone! Director Koji Imaeda here. We’re so grateful to all of you who submitted your ideas and opinions for the stage start phrase campaign and survey!  
I’m here to announce the winning phrase that will go on to adorn the beginning of each stage, as decided by the Beckers’ votes! Drum roll, please… 
Coming in in 3rd place is Inafune-san’s personal favorite, in at a respectable 17.23% of the vote:  Xels Transferring… Initiated!
Next, racking up 26.66% of the vote:  Target Detected… Engage!
And so, the winner of the Stage Start Phrase contest, by a landslide of 56.11%, is:  
Systems Ready? ...GO!!
Koji Imaeda: We’re so grateful to everyone that participated! Thank you so much! We hope you get pumped every time this phrase appears on the screen! 
In that vein, I figured I’d strike while the iron’s hot and segue immediately into the next call for entries!
