So what would you call a drone that looked like this? (I really should stop trying to project everything into SR but can’t help myself!!!):

Decepticon Cat

I know there are various war forms that it could be built from but I wanted to try and create a mechanical drone that a shadowrunner might conceivably own or come up against…

I’ve statted it up as a modified steel lynx (as the artwork for that one seemed like the closest combat drone to this beasty)…comments / suggestions for improvement welcome. I’ve added a ‘wish list’ upgrade package afterwards for further possible mods. I know it’s not strictly RAW but I’ve allowed cyber accessories for the legs as well as the ‘arm’. Overmods may or may not be a go depending on GM discretion. Given that they make this drone prohibitavely expensive I would probably allow them! I’ve tried to keep everything below availability 12…
