Acidic MT is a TSM -> 100% TST opener created by 10Penta that has a high chance for an 8-Line Perfect Clear, as well as other continuations.
First Bag
The first bag has a 56.7% build chance including mirrors, and requires early I and J (early I and L for mirror).
Second Bag
4-Line Perfect Clear
If you keep the T on hold, you have a 23.0% chance for a 4L PC with 7 minimals.
100% TST
This can always be built.
3rd Bag 8-Line Perfect Clear
If you keep the T on hold, you have a 94.4% chance for an 8L PC with 17 minimals. Note that most of the solutions are quite hard to spot.
3rd Bag Main Continuation
If you do not have a PC, cannot find a PC, have received garbage or do not want to do a PC, then you can follow this 100% TSS/TSD continuation:
The following 4th bag continuations cover all bags:
Route 1 TSS O<I TSD – TSD – Quad – 20L PC / Freestyle
LJ is interchangeable for the 4th bag, and TZO is interchangeable for the 6th bag. You can downstack or freestyle after the 6th bag. You also have a (theoretical) 76.8% chance for a 20L PC after the 6th bag.
Route 2 TSD I<O, S<T/J/Z C-Spin – Incomplete DT / Freestyle
After the 4th bag, you can freestyle or build an incomplete DT as below:
Route 3 TSD T<S, J<IO Quad – 14L PC / TSD – TSD
After the 4th bag, you have a 51.3% chance for a 14L PC with the 2 minimals below, or you can continue with a TSD as below or freestyle.
ILJO Square TSD – 18L PC
This can be built 84.4% of the time with ILJO interchangeable.
Ideally, the rectangle is built flat with LZJ interchangeable for a PC chance. However, if Z<TLJ, you can build the rectangle standing up as in the 3rd image.
If you built the 6th bag with the LJZ rectangle flat, then you have a 46.7% chance for an 18L PC with T on hold with 11 minimals.
100% TSD – TSD
This can always be built with LJO interchangeable.
The four continuations below cover all bags with LJ interchangeable for the 2nd and 3rd images:
Route 4 TSD I<O, IJZO<S ITST – Freestyle TST
This route makes an incomplete TST. The S is placed after the T-spin. After the 4th bag, the TST is quite easy to freestyle.
Route 5 TSD I<J, O<S C-Spin – Freestyle
The J piece has 2 possible positions.
3rd Bag Skim Continuation
If you want to avoid all the complications of the main cont and simply get a good boardstate to downstack or freestyle with, then you can follow this skim continuation.

3rd bag STSD Continuation
Credits to winterfrost for discovering this. This STSD cont requires O<Z or Z<SO with OSZ interchangeable and has an 100% imperial cross follow-up. However, if you have L<O or L<T, then build it the second way to greatly increase the chance for a 14L PC.
If you built the imperial cross the first way, then you have an 8.9% chance for a 14L PC with T on hold with the 1 minimal below:
If you built the imperial cross the second way, then you have an 78.8% chance for a 14L PC with the 2 minimals below. Note that holding T from the previous bag does not increase the PC chance. If T comes first or second, then the chance increases to 100% and only the first solution below is required.
3rd Bag Mechanical TSD Continuation
Credits to ReallyNotSomeone for discovering this. This is an 100% skim TSD, and leads to a mechanical TSD. The 4th bag is also 100% with LJO interchangable.
If you hold T on the 4th bag, then you have a 60.0% chance for a 14L PC with 5 minimals. The most common solve, shown above, can be done 50.0% of the time. Otherwise, you can continue with mechanical TSD as below:
