From: Albert Liu This thing is SICK :)Ê If anyone puts it in the VM book, it should Definitely be an NPC.Ê Preferably a villain with a large sadistic streak... you'll see what I mean.Ê This thing will give Cora a serious run for the money. __________________________________________________ ===================== Black Wind ===================== SH Torso 20K 20cp (NO ARMOR.

Leap: 6 hexes!! MP: +33% Appearances: An incredibly thick and blocky mech with gnarled hands and clawed feet. The entire mech appears to be carved out of obsidian, with the exception of its two burning red eyes. Notes: This is what comes of allowing free usage of Dataweaver's custom forms >=) Since walking only takes 1 action, you can run the full 17 hexes and rip some poor fool's head off =) The 6 hexes of leap even let you take down low-flying aircraft.... As for tactics... I used Megaheavy Arms for a reason. Assuming the standard servo level is MW, this mech will do 6 + 3 + 3 = 12K dismemberment damage straight to the victim's servo. Imagine the battlefield littered with discarded limbs =) The only things that won't come off on a single dismember attack are SH and MgH Legs. If the opponent is too fast for a dismember, it can still punch twice a turn for 7K each. All for under 200cp. Further Enhancements:A more expensive version would definitely get armor, or at least command armor. Maybe a SFX weapon to ground those REALLY fast fliers. Might also consider getting the Unlimited Sensor custom Form and moving the sensors to the torso for increased durability. Finally, for all out munchiness, code compress it down to MV of +1. Weaknesses: Really big/disruptor melee weapons or EMWs, Sensor ECM, Big disruptor range weapons, High knockback weapons, High fliers. Getting lucky shots on the shield generator.
