I looked at it from the walker angle, too. Sadly, the power plant for one
has a load capacity between 5-15 kilograms, which is about 9-34 pounds.
Reason? Walkers are little spidery things, I imagine similar in size to the
little buggers in Runaway (you've seen it... Tom Selleck, Gene Simmons.
Classic). Anyway, anthromorphs are gonna have load ratings much, much
higher. They're metahuman size, so, anything from maybe short elf for those
delicate but dangerous reactor jobs to the lift and chuck jobs of big ole
trog sized machines. Their base strength is body squared, the base chassis
is 2, for a strength of 4. You can start with a higher body, and hence
strenth if you wish (a 4 would be a nice strength 16 monster) So, I'd say
it's safe to say they can handle more than 35 pounds. I think this is an
honest to goodness screwup in the editing, so I guess I'm looking for any
ideas, or maybe a site someone might have stumbled across.
