I was thinking about the over-the-top craziness in Rifts and started wondering what the most powerful combo in the game is. So anyone know?

So what's the most powerful combo in Rifts?

I only ever saw the first book, and so long ago that it is probably not the case now, but the edition I saw it was possible for a juicer to become hugely over-the-top crazy. Something to do with being able to get lots of extra actions or something?
They were the ultimate 'live fast, die young' character class at the time!

I can't say I'm an expert on it so I won't venture a guess, but I do know that it's rarely so much the classes as the races that tend to be overpowered. I will say they've reigned it in a bit from the early years (except maybe in the Dimensional Books, but I don't have most of the recent ones of those)

Yeah, the Cosmo-Knight was pretty tough. I played one almost 10 years ago in a space-based Phase World campaign, back when playing the Palladium system didn't automatically cause me to break out in hives.
Another crazy combo I heard of was a Demigod with a Heroes Unlimited martial arts class. I forget what the class was called (Ancient Master, maybe?), but the gist of it was that the class started at level 15, to represent a long life of studying the martial arts (think Quai Chang Caine). The funny thing, though, was that a Demigod could select the class abilities of several spellcasters, including the Ley Line Walker, and he automatically knew all the spells for that class equal to his level. So such a character could, quite literally, start out a campaign knowing every single spell there is in the game for the Ley Line Walker. Though from what I understand, that was nerfed. Still funny as hell, though.

1) Get out Heroes Unlimited. Ignoring the randomness of the random power chart, make a Superhero.
2) Get the RIFTS Conversion book and convert the Superhero's stats into RIFTS.
3) Start loading him down with RIFTS gear, like getting him a SAMAS or Glitterboy.
