don't
feel it's appropriate to upload his second tier specs or the recent modifications
implanted in his body.
Strength: The Column Mark-4 is capable of emmense feats of strength comparable
to modern hydraulics. It's muscles are composed of micro-hyrdraulic activators
and spun cables of flexable macroplast. Thus the only real limitations of the
Mark-4 are the load bearing structural members in the various limbs. Future
improvements hope to remove this limitation by**2Mp deleted*
Current strength maximums are as follows:
Normal lift, no performance degradation 90kg
in speed, maneuverability, or other
applications of the Mark-4
Normal repetitive lift, no damage done 180kg
to musclature or structural members,
minimal maneuverability degradation,
no speed degradation
Straigh lift, no structural damage 360kg
occurs, but speed and maneuverability
suffer drastically(1/2 nominal)
Maximum lift, current strength limit of 450kg
limb and load bearing materials
Maneuverability: The Mark-4 is supreme of the current CBRs in its ability to
perform daunting tasks that would require tremendous training and natural
ability as well as extreme flexibility. Acrobatic training in the original
subject's previous history(document 44.3a, Charles Eagle Plume subject) makes
this the logical test of the Mark-4's abilities to withstand protracted
extremes of movement at high accelerations and relative velocities. After
six hours of continuous operation of tumbling routines, flips, jumps, rings,
bars, climbing, and other gymnastic activities no serious problems were
discovered. Performing the same tests at extremes of temperature and including
wide, repeated swings of temperature showed only the following minor problems:

Velocities and accelerations: The Mark-4 is available in two configurations;
the biologically buffered and non-buffered versions. The buffered version is
the one used currently for testing, and the unbuffered numbers are based off of
projections similar as to used in the Gemini CBR system buffers.
Buffered Unbuffered
Maximum short usage velocities: 96m/s 96m/s
Maximum accelerations: 70m/s/s 35m/s/s
the maximum acceleration figures are
available only for the Short usage
velocities due to their being unnecessary
for protracted velocities
Maximum normal usage velocities: 72m/s 72m/s
Maximum long term usage velocities: 48m/s 48m/s
Real World test maximums:
Short term usage reduces to 80m/s due to slopes, obsticals, combat
situations and other normal operating conditions. Normal usage and
long term usage are not affected.
NOTES:
Short term affects: musclature begins to become unresponsive due to
stress after about 7 seconds at this velocity, and fails completely
at 8.5 seconds, causing collateral damage to surrounding hardware.
Maximum Safe Operating time in this mode: 5 seconds
Normal usage effects: Breakdown begins at 15.6 minutes, with failure
occuring at 17.1 minutes.
Maximum Safe operating time: 12 minutes
Long term usage effects: Breakdown does not occur. Limited only by
onboard power supply: Suspect ran for 4.328 hours using internal
power. When running at this velocity, subject ran 13.4 hours
before "exhaustion" of subject initiated a gradual shutdown into
REM sleep.
Well, that's all Collussus wants me to tell anybody just in case it comes back
to haunt him/us. No internals, no limb contents(like cyberweapons), or
optional extras. Sorry. But we did a comparison against the fastest Sammy we
could find for the old Alpha build just prior to the current body. Collussus
was able to outrun the fastest sammy there was on long term mode, and was able
to double his speed for short term.
Hope this helps a little, Mike and the Mechanic. Just remember that he's
better now if you plan on attacking him or extracting him or...]<<<<<
