Boasting robust armour, reliable weapons, the 31 foot tall Zoisons will stride across the battlefields, taking and holding positions. Using a new headless design to lower the profile slightly and put the sensor system in a more protected area of the torso makes it far less easier to blind the pilot. Zoisons use readily available parts, making repairs that much quicker, plus also come with onboard instructions to aid field mechanics in their repairs to get a Zoison running again. The only complaint a few customers have is the lack of hands, although they can't complain about the generous amount of ammunition a Zoison can carry into battle.Size: Huge (-2)Bonus Hit Points: 200Superstructure: VanadiumHardness: 25Armour: ResiliumBonus to Defense: +8Armour Penalty: -7Reach: 10 ftStrength Bonus: +16Dexterity Penalty: Speed: 40 ft BasePurchase DC: 46Torso: CockpitTorso:CockpitBack: Multi-Launch Mini-Rocket LauncherBack: Multi-Launch Mini-Rocket LauncherShoulders: Chaff LauncherBelt: Class III Sensor SystemLeft Arm: M-9 Extra AmmoLeft Hand: M-9 Barrage ChaingunLeft Hand:M-9 Extra AmmoRight Arm: M-9 Extra AmmoRight Hand:M-9 Barrage ChaingunRight Hand:M-9 Extra AmmoBoots: Life Support SystemComm SystemReinforced Armour See here for details.Chaff Launcher found in Future Tech page 72.

So if rocket has a 20 ft blast radius, barage radius is 50 ft.Anyone caught in the blast radius takes 1.5 times normal rocket damage, Reflex save DC is increased by +5. A rocket's ability to ignore hardness/DR is ignored unless target within takes up half or more of the blast radius.Each launcher holds 25 mini-rockets.Range Increment 150 ftPDC 28 Mil (+3)[HR][/HR]Wolf TankThe Wolf Tank is a hybrid, crossing the line between tank and mech. Instead of a true bipedal form, below the torso is a tank like vehicle part with treads, which adds great stability to the mech. It also lacks the traditional head of most mechs. An interesting feature the Wolf Tank does have is the ability to raise and lower its torso so as to better look over obstacles, or to seem more imposing to any large animals it may encounter, raising from it's 13 foot height to 23 ft.The Wolf Tank is a fairly simple design, relatively speaking, but its key selling points is its low price and very simple controls. The Wolf is so simple to pilot that anyone who's had training in combat vehicles, or even heavy construction equipment can pilot it with some skill, although not to the extent of someone with full training. Although with enough practice, untrained people can easily become proficient in using one.

It contains several robotic arms that extend. The robotic arms are fairly simple with rudimentary grasping hands, with several cutting tools mounted on them including a buzzsaw, bolt cutters and a cutting torch. These robotic arms have a Strength rating of 22, and have a 10 ft reach past the treads.Equipment Slots: 1Activation: Standard actionRange Increment: 10 ftTarget:Duration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NonePurchace DC: 21Restriction: NoneExtending SystemA telescoping system with powerful hydraulics designed to extend the reach, or height of a mech. When installed in belt, back or torso, can extend the upper torso up (or out if a quadruped) by enough to bring it into the next size category. The mech can still fight while extended, however unless using a reach weapon, or ranged weapon, will be unable to strike targets in adjacent squares to the mech. If mounted in the shoulders, the arms can extend to increase the reach of the mech by 10 ft. If mounted in the legs or belt (choosing legs instead of torso extension, which must be made at time of creation and can not be changed), the mech can extend its height, raising its entire body, which increases its speed by 10 ft, but pilot must make a balance check DC 15 any time the mech makes an attack.Equipment Slots: 1Activation: Move actionDuration: Instantaneous/continuous until deactivatedPurchase DC: 34Restriction: None[HR][/HR]GriffinThe Griffin is a quick strike mech made for lightning strikes. Some might consider it a scout mech, but its sensors aren't any better than average mechs. Light on armour, but has fairly strong weapons, coupled with its high speed, many griffins are piloted by dare devils. Many griffin pilots place wagers on who will reach the target first and draw first blood, making them very competitive and aggressive. Griffins come standard with a heavy weapon on the right arm, usually a laser or plasma cannon, with a missile launcher on the other arm, with a melee weapon attached, usually a set of tiger or panther claws. Mounted under the cockpit is a pair of lighter rapid fire weapons, usually used against infantry or lighter armoured foes.Griffins are not laid out like traditional mechs, lacking a humanoid head and have reversed jointed legs. This aids in their high speed and maneuverability, letting them get around rough terrain or obstacles. The reverse jointed legs allows their 14 foot tall frame lower down to aid it hide when laying in ambush.Griffin (PL6)Size: LargeBonus Hit Points: 80Superstructure: AlumisteelHardness: 10Armour: ResiliumBonus to Defense: +5 (+6 armour -1 size)Armour Penalty: -5Reach: 10 ftStrength Bonus: +8Dexterity Penalty: 0Speed: 50 ft BasePurchase DC: 42 Torso: Class III Sensor SystemTorso: CockpitBelt: Dual Heavy Laser RiflesBack: CockpitShoulders: 4 pack of M-87 missilesLeft Arm: M-87 Firestar Missile LauncherLeft Hand: PS-15 Panther ClawsRight Arm: Typhoon 240 Laser CannonRight Hand: Typhoon 240 Laser CannonComm System Standard Package Features: Comm SystemBonuses: +2 Navigate and Spot, 90 ft darkvision, +4 Jump checksWeapons: Typhoon Laser Cannon 10d6 fire, 20, 100 ft, Single, -, HugeM87 Talon Missile Launcher 15d6 half ball/fire, 20, - ft, Single, 8 rd, HugeDual Heavy Laser Rifle 6d8 fire, 20, 100 ft, S/A, unlimited, LargePS-15 Panther Claws 2d6 slashing, 19-20, meleeSlam 1d8, bludgeon, 20, meleeNew EquipmentReverse Jointed LegsThese legs have the joints in reverse to normal mechs. This gives the mech more movement, but does make them a little more unstable, suffering a -4 stability penalty on checks to resist bull rush and trip attempts. Reverse jointed equipped mechs gain a +20 feet to speed, and a +4 bonus to Jump checks, but can not be mounted on mechs of gargantuan or colossal sizes, and they also loose the boots equipment slot as it is required for stabilization systems.Dual Heavy Laser RiflesThis is a mini turret mounted on the lower torso of the Griffin that holds two fire linked heavy laser rifles. A heavy laser rifle deals 4d8 fire, 100 ft range. The turret can cover the full front half of the Griffin and can aim directly below the Griffin, so it can attack targets directly under it.[HR][/HR]BansheeThe Banshee is a heavy assault mech built around direct energy weapon systems. It gets its name from the loud whine of its gatling lasers spinning as they blast away at targets. The sturdy frame allows it to soak up damage, but even with its thick armour, the banshee is still vulnerable to infantry. Built on either side of the cockpit are two dual laser turrets to fend off attacks from infantry. The primary weapons of the Banshee are a pair of high speed gatling lasers which can fire up to 5000 pulses a minute. However, at this rate of fire, the emitters would burn out after more than 30 seconds of sustained fire, so most banshee's have their weapons limited between 3000 and 4200 pulses per minute.Banshee (PL6/7)Size: HugeBonus Hit Points: 250Superstructure: NeovulcaniumHardness: 20Armour: DuralloyBonus to Defense: +6 (+8 equipment -2 size)Armour Penalty: -8Reach: 10 ftStrength Bonus: +16Dexterity Penalty: Speed: 30 ftPurchase DC: 45 Mil (+3)SlotsBack: structural enhancementLeft Arm: XGL LaserLeft Hand: XGL LaserRight Arm: XGL LaserRight Hand: XGL LaserShoulders: Dual Laser Turret x2Torso: CockpitBelt: Class III Sensor SystemBoots: light fortificationComm SystemStandard Package Features: Headless design, class III sensory system, XGL laser x2, Dual laser turret, light fortificationBonuses: +2 equipment bonus to Navigate and Spot, darkvision 90 feet, 25% of critical hits change to regular hits.Weapons: XGL Laser 6d6 or 9d8, fire, 20, 120 ft, S/A, 100 internal, Huge x2Dual Laser Turret 4d8, fire, 20, 75 ft, s, -, Large x2Slam 2d6 bludgeoning. New EquipmentXGL LaserThese gatling lasers were designed specifically for the Banshee, able to throw large amounts of laser blasts across the battle field. A single pulse deals only 6d6 points of fire damage, and are fully capable of full automatic fire. Where the XGL's really shine is their burst fire, able to fire large amounts of pulses as a burst in a single attack, dealing 9d8 points of fire damage in a single attack. The XGL does have limited power in its power cells, before being drained and requires time for the power core of the Banshee to recharge them, and burst mode, suffering -3 to attack, and doesn't require the Burst Fire feat, uses up 10 rounds. The burst mode can also be used in full automatic, increase area targeted by 5 feet a side and the Reflex save DC by +5. The power cells of the XGL has 100 rounds, and recharges at a rate of 1 round every minute after it hasn't been used for 5 rounds. These weapons are also quite loud, opponents gain a +5 bonus to Listen checks to hear them, as they have a very distinctive whine.Equipment Slots: 2, must be Arm or Hands, Torso, ShouldersActivation: AttackRange: 100 ftTarget: Single target within 1000 ft or autofireDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NonePurchase DC: 31Restriction: Mil (+3)PDC: 31 Mil (+3)Dual Laser TurretThese turrets are a pair of laser rifles mated together in a turreted mount to provide protection against infantry. They are tied into the mech's sensors and fire automatically at any target not designated friendly that come within range of the mech. Each turret deals 4d8 points of fire damage. When set in defensive mode, they each have 2 attacks at +4 to attack rolls (size modifier is already taken into account for the attack bonus) and attack anything that isn't designated a friendly within 75 feet of the mech, as attacks of opportunities and/or as readied actions. The pilot can choose to use the turrets himself, but doesn't gain the multiple attacks or the bonus, instead using his own bonus, adding the size modifier of the mech to the attack roll.Equipment Slots: 1Activation: Attack, or automaticRange: 75 ftTarget: Single target within 75 feetDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 29Restriction: Mil (+3)</blockquote>
