Now, I’m aware that if you want a giant mechanical horror in order to threaten runners (or possibly freedom fighters / heroes / Running Man contestants, should that be the focus of your campaign), your best option is a horrifying drone with, like, shotgun nipples and a chainsaw for a crotch. However, I want to check out the option that doesn’t run the risk of ECW rendering it entirely useless.
The word of the day is ‘Fullborg’. In short, I’m thinking about a full-body replacement that doesn’t cross the threshold into cyberzombie. Deltaware is entirely acceptable for this project, but I’m not sure how to make a sufficiently horrifying doom-creature. Now, I could see the use of dual shotties with gyrostabilization built into the arms, but I’m also trying to think about how horrifying a tankmonster you could make out of a fullborg. I know that the full conversion would give you a bonus +6 health boxes. Sure, I know it’s not really realistic, or even practical, but how can anyone deny the thematic awesomeness of the fullborg? They’re cuddly. Thoughts? Comments? Builds? Entirely different mechanical horrors? |
