Bod: 2/ Armor: 12

That means (most) pistols won't have a chance, armor piercing or not. For
that matter, it's going to take some nasty-ass firepower one-way or the other.

in our experience, flip the damn thing over and drop a shaped charge (C12) on
top of that.

Another trick we've developed is the reverse, get a small C12 charge mounted
to the top of a cheap skimmer/hover type drone, and get the thing underneath
it. On top of the C12 is a "warhead" of some type (use your imagination),
which will shoot upwards towards the body of the Lynx.

Wrecker is another neato way of doing it (Magical).

I also know of the "lay down the electricified fence", wait until it's on top
of the stuff, and then throw the loose end of the fence or conductive cables
attached to the fence, on top of it and connect to your cities central power
supply...

-K (and who Gridlink didn't have it's uses..?? ;-)
