G'day, ShadowRN.

I want to throw some *really* nasty stuff at the PCs - to make sure I
have their attention during a shootout with some Azzie heavy-infantry -
and I was wondering if anyone had made up stats for an ED-209(tm) style
combat machine - piloted, remote-rigged, or robot.

I was thinking of emphasising how nasty the Aztechnology labs could be
by making this thing 'piloted' - by a rigged individual who was
*permanently* wired into the machine's systems and kept doped-up with
aggression-enhancing drugs. Such a thing would either be voluntary
('special duty'), or the last resort of some prisoners ('Either you sign
up for this duty, or we kill you.' Which would be worse?).

[For anyone who cares, this is based on Robocop 2((tm)), and the
'Berserker' concept out of the Dark Horse((tm)) 'Aliens' comics.]
