Trivia
- His card quote is an altered version of a line Armstrong says to Raiden in the final battle of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance: "Making the mother of all omelettes here, Jack! Can't fret over every egg!"
- The card swaps both the omelettes and the egg for recollections, and Jack for Satoru Gojo (Unsealed).
- On Update 38, Armstrong (Nanomachines) was made obtainable again through the Exclusive Shop, one of the eight cards it launched with.
- On Update 38.5, buying a card from the shop also started granting its Recollection, "Nanomachine Heart", if the player does not already own it.
