I've used these very same robots on a run, once. They are nasty, nasty
nasty. The runners stumbled on a brain-fried RTI Hellion (I kept
it brain fried so that I could adjust it's stats as combat progressed
so that it wasn't a totaly impossible threat). These things are neither
slow (8 reaction), or wimpy. Hellions pack Vindicator miniguns, so it really
doesn't matter how lousy their skill is, they still should be avoided.
As for toughness, it would not matter if they were slow. With Vehicle
Armor of 7, unless you can inflict damage of power 15 or greater, you
can't even scratch the bastards.
