A.I. UNITS
The mighty robots of legend still amaze and terrify the denizens of the New West. Below you will find decriptions of some common military types used in the final days before the world tore itself to pieces in the Apocalypse. Here be dragons...
SOLDIER BOT:
HIT DICE: 15
HIT POINTS: 100
ARMOR CLASS: 2
THACO: R 7 / M 7
CONTROL: Stage IV I.D.
M.S.: 15
These were the basic style of combat robot used in ground combat, usually in support of armored infantry. They were roughly eight feet long, and could move up to 50 M.P.H on six to eight legs. They were equipped with two 20 shot grenade launchers (usually Incendiary grenades) and aH.P.A.L. laser (Laser Rifle) unit on a rotating turret. They were protected by a 75 hit point power shield, and could make 200 foot jumps using a limited V.T.O.L. system. They had a full array of Infared, U.V., and radar scanners and a built in comlink. Soldier Bots were powered by three Atomic Cells that operated in tandem, and their C.P.U.'s were shielded against Radiation and Environmental Extremes.
TANKBOTS:
HIT DICE: 40
HIT POINTS: 500
ARMOR CLASS: l
THACO: R 5 / M 5
CONTROL: Stage V I.D.
M.S.: 17
These nightmarish machines came in a lot of shapes, but a common variety moved about on 6-8 legs at speeds of up to 40 M.P.H. Some other types moved on hover fans or treads. It comes armed with twin Heavy Machine Guns mounted on a headlike mobile appendage, each capable of 10 minutes continuous fire. It was also armed with a Heavy Laser Cannon powered by it's central reactor, which could fire 10 shots for 9d6 damage at a 500 yard range, before undergoing a 10 minute recharge period. Finally, it was equipped with two seperately operable Missile Launchers, each with a 12 shot capacity. This fearsome device was protected by a 200 point Force Field and were shielded against all forms of Radiation, E.M.P., and Climate extremes.
WARBOT: R-25 MONGOOSE (BOT KILLER)
HIT DICE: 50
HIT POINTS: 200
ARMOR CLASS: 1
THACO: R 4 / M 4
CONTROL: Stage V I.D.
M.S.: 17
This helicopter like robot was built to take out mechanized and A.I. units. It's capable of cruising at 100 M.P.H., or hovering completely still. On the ground it can move up to 50 M.P.H. on eight legs. It's armed with two heavy laser cannons linked directly to it's reactor, that work in tandem to avoid down time from recharge, and two missile launchers. It can transmit an E.M.P. burst that will disable all non shielded powered equipment in a 50 yard radius by draining their batteries, and instantly destorys unshielded A. I. cores. It's protected by a 200 point Force Field.
WARBOT: R-50 A.O.D. (Antigravity Ocillation Drive)
HIT DICE: 100
HIT POINTS: 750
ARMOR CLASS: 1
THACO: R 3 / M 3
CONTROL: Stage V I.D. + Special Passcodes.
M.S.: 17
Some soldiers thought A.O.D. should more appropriately stand for Angel Of Death. There were only 20 known units of this highly experimental type built, using a newly developed antigravity device for propultsion and maneuvering. Each was assigned to a certain Top Security installation. These units are 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, yet hover ominously without a sound on their antigravity generators. They can cruise at 150 M.P.H. They are armed with four Heavy Laser Cannons, four batteries of three heavy machine guns each capable of firing for 15 minutes, four batteries of H.P.A.L lasers of two units each, capable of unlimited tandem firing and four missile launchers, each with a 40 missile clip. They are shielded by a 400 Hit Point Force Field, and can generate an E.M.P. field out to 100 yards that will kill all unshielded armor and robotic units. They also are equipped with a special beam device that can punch through force fields, negating half their damage taking potential. It is unknown how many of these machines survived the Big One.
