Conventional Power Armor Idea with just enough organitech
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2009 1:01 am
Personally I blame all the Exo-Squad and Aliens I've been watching lately. Plus I've also been replaying Earth Defense Force where a huge part of the game is fighting giant ants and spiders, and a few levels you can hop into a really slow moving battlesuit that can mow down everything in front of you(everything to the side and back of you is a different story since it moves like a sloth through molasses).
Anyways, all of that combined got me thinking about the awesomeness of beating up bugs with a big metal death machine. But there's the obvious problem of the bugs being able to do their bug thing, so there's just enough organitech mixed in to prevent them from doing their thing.
Name(s): Frankenstein, Abomination, Tin Man, BFR-9000, Junkticon, Ripley, Hybrid, Junk Man, Scrap Heap
Weight: 2000+1D20x100 lbs
Height: 9+1D4Ft
Width: 4+1D6ft
Speed: 8+1D4
AR: 9+1D8
SDC: 400 + 1D4x100
Power Source: Organitech Batteries or converted bug motels (Rifter 12)
Basic Features
-Interchangeable/Interlocking unit for detachable limbs
Common additional features
-Spotlight
-Towline
-Basic Listening system
Common Weapon Systems (1D2 per arm)
-Machinegun: Either a 7.62mm or .50caliber Machinegun mounted on the arm.
-Sprayer: Arm contains a flamethrower, bug repellant sprayer, or bug juice sprayer.
-Launcher: 40mm grenades or mortars
-Melee Weapon: large axe, spike, claw, etc
History: There are as many histories as there are models of this Power Armor. Most usually revolve around the need of something that packs enough punch to stand toe-to-toe with a Bombardier Beetle, a large group of Army Ants, or an even larger number of zombies. Utilizing what Organitech they could grow, scavenge, or steal and combining it with a pile of junk, eggheads from all over have managed to create freakish machines to fight the Bugs in.
