1) Is this within shadowrun's tech?
2) Can you ride it?

You forgot to put zombie in your title.

Yeah. My bad.

Suggestion is that we get hired to retrieve a raptor or similar from a secret Jurassic Park style setup, and naturally my first thought was riding a cyber-t-rex into battle. Just because.

Seems to fall within the rule of cool. Seems legit.

But no DNA has survived of dinosaurs so cloning probably isn't very likely. However, I'd imagine they'd be able to engineer something similar from bird DNA. Genetically engineered giant birds that look like a T-rex. That sounds like it might be moderately plausible enough to work.

Why not just go straight for dragon DNA? (Aside from the obvious answer of not wanting to piss off the dragons?)

No Dino DNA has survived.... that the common person knows of... but within the secrets of AAA corporations... you never know

Did you ever see the title of a thread and knew who created it without looking?

Can we get a Transforming model too while it's in the shop?

Finally, something for those pesky traffic jams.....

Don't know if this is DNA, but soft tissues certainly have. Cite-ation. I'm sure that if we've found soft tissues now, they'd be able to find DNA within 60 years.

EDIT: Or hell, if they can deduce enough about the genetic structure from proteins in the material they'd be able to "sci-fi" scientifically recreate the DNA from base-pairs in a lab. It's like reverse-engineering a puzzle by looking at a picture, figuring out the shape of the puzzle pieces, then manufacturing your own pieces printed with the same image.

as of late sr4 custom animals were a thing so, sure, why not? Biodrone? Go ahead!

And building your own is even better as you can improve on Nature's design, like giving your proto T-Rex raptor style forelimbs instead of the stubby limbs it had originally.

Fixed that for you... you're welcome.

Thanks.

So something along these lines maybe?

Totally doable.
Genetic Chimera are a Thing in Shadowrun already.
Hell, you can even have the Rulons due to Surge . .

The arm guns are way too small! The need to be bigger and to be Gatling guns... Gatling Gauss rifles, because anything worth doing is worth overdoing!



Your link is not what I think you're wanting it to be.

right. fixed.
stupid deep linking protection <.<

All I can say is that I want to play at your table FuelDrop

Not a novel idea, but still a very late 80's/early 90's one ^^

How has no one invoked Wexter yet?

~Umi

I see your Gatling and raise you Flamethrowers.

Flamethrowers are so 20th century you plebe!

Real, sophisticated, gentlemen go to war armed only with the best. If for not the fact that lasers are affected by the environment so much then I would have have said quad laser cannons on each arm!


Didn't know about him?

Didn't know you fought against alien bugs in axe cop... cool!

HIT THE BRAINBOX!

I... I am basing a campaign on this. At the very least a mini-arc.

i am making a note here:"big success!"

It is hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Dino Riders was and still is boss.
Sad that there only ever were 13 episodes made <.<

Admit it, deep down you want to play a Dino Riders RTS.

Not just deep down, believe you me.

But does it come in Rent-A -Zilla versions?
