Too bad vehicles don't have hardened armor as vehicles have a lot less vulnerable points than a critter. You can shoot my car to hell and it will keep on driving like nothing happened if you didn't hit the engine block, gas tank or tires, undercarriage. Over 50% of its mass is just casing which can be riddled to virtually no ill effect to the vehicle performance.(yeah the stereo may get destroyed or the aerodynamics may get worse etc, but it will still drive fine.) The same can't be said for a critter even if you are shot in the foot it causes problems. While hardened armor may have been a problem in 4e in how it worked, vehicle armor was much worse and virtually nothing was done for it.

So with the exception of anti-vehicular weapons they should only be taking (and then ignoring) stun from shots. |

On a side note, the Juggie is listed as detecting electrical fields under it's motion detection, so one does wonder how it reacts to some devices with a stronger Signal strength.
Would it haze it's senses or be a big neon sign saying X marks the spot! Would a TM 'smell' like a truffle to it? |

Well it's not like a Juggie can sneak into town, so local forces would be meeting it even before it gets close to the borders and they will bring out the big guns with decent AP, like anti tank weaponry. Though I suppose there could be some parts of the Barrens it might pass unnoticed for a bit and the OP did mention it being just around a corner somewhere.

Juggernaut rummaging around Redmond Barrens, going unnoticed until some pissed-off trog heavy shoots it with a Panther XXL to make it stop eating his bike, then takes off like a jackrabbit, kiting the thing into tourist town and straight through a Humanis chapterhouse, letting it go to town before Knight Errant can actually break out the heavy attack choppers to put it down for good?
That's the kind of pink mohawkery that needs to happen. |

It reminds me of that traveler game where I loaned those PGMPs to the warring TL1 tribes... |

You haven't hit the big time until you've been tried and found guilty in absentia and sentenced to death in at least a dozen. Still, it's a worthy start! Keep at it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Yeah... But can you actually name the guy with the Death Sentence in 12 Systems? And really, in the end, he was just an Architect slumming in the bars of Mos Eisley with his friend. |

That's the kind of pink mohawkery that needs to happen. They also need this as a scenario in Shadowrun Returns as it's own special mission, maybe even let you hotwire a tank at the end to take it on. |
