"Ironically enough, despite being so far apart and different these vehicles were made of the same parts (in a metaphorical sense)

Old Glory was the first, which eventually went into having parts built into TIV3 S3; which was the first ever TIV built on what was at the time a brand new SGM 3500. TIV3 went on to have nearly 5 years of service under several different incarnations. TIV3 S5 would be rebuilt into S6 which was then rebuilt into TIV2 S4, which in turn was slowly PAC edited into what would become AS3, my first fully PAC3 vehicle. Which with its base became TIV2 08, which was the form that shaped TIV2 Ultimate, which Ultimate would be the base from and parts donor for ReacTIVe

So despite all the issues (addon failures, at least 7 different computer crashes/wipes) and changes that was between these two, I always somehow managed to keep my first builds always connected."
