Veitech/Valkyrie Power armour

Unread post by Hawkman1974 »

Hi Guys
I am wondering if any of you have ever made power armour based on the various images of various women from Robotech/Macross wearing armour that looks like various VF mechs.
I am thinking to base their capabilities off the Flying Titan series of PA in Rifts.
I wanted to post an image but I was not sure we could on this system, as this is my first post here.
I guess I am the long time listener and first time caller ;)
Thanks for any help with this.

Has made a NightSpawn that had a super VT morphus. In one session did the DS trench run down a city street while being pursued. (this was back when there was just the NS Core book and the NB core book.
And as per those books' suggestions, I made a few things up.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

most of those don't wear enough clothing underneath the various techie bits to count as body armor much less power armor. even the ones that aren't intended as mild ecchi products.

and you can't post an image that'll appear using image tags, but you can post links to where the image is hosted. just make sure you give the forum rules a quick read through to make sure anything you link doesn't fall under the prohibited types of content.

8) Mecha-Morphus...If a table of generic mocha features hasn't been done in the Nightspawn section of these forums, it SHOULD be done.


And as to OP?
Power armor? No.
Super-powered being with mechanical features or a cyborg(partial with hook-on features or full-conversion, especially cyber humanoid, with appliqué mecha parts)? Entirely possible.
In fact, in my Shemarrian Nation thread, we have a fringe-tribe who has cyborg members, most female, who pattern their bionics after various anime mecha influences. :bandit:

Yeah, those wouldn't really work as powered armor unless you were able to detach your legs below the knee...

Missing one or more limbs, but not ready to commit to cybernetic replacements?
You're in luck!

How can we not give you due support and credit?
