Triax(TM) EIC-200 Overkil Cyborg

The Triax(TM) Overkil cyborg is another of the NGR(TM)'s new EICs. Based along the lines of a bionically-augmented Monster Brodkil (one of the creations of the Gene-Splicers(TM), see Rifts® Sourcebook Three: Mindwerks(TM) for more details), the Overkil is quite an imposing sight. The Overkil has four or six arms, huge, dragon-like wings, and some have a prehensile tail. The bionic weapons are not concealed, for there are enough Monster Brodkil with implants to not attract suspicion.

Triax EIC-200 Overkil Cyborg

Exclusive to the NGR Military
Model Type: EIC-200
Class: Cyborg
Crew: One human volunteer -- typically with a background in intelligence.
M.D.C.(TM) by Location:
Hands (4 or 6) -- 50 each
Arms (4 or 6) -- 175 each
Legs (2) -- 200 each
Wings (2) -- 75 each
Tail (Optional) -- 100
* Head -- 200
** Main Body -- 400
* Destroying the head of the cyborg will kill the character! However the head is small and a difficult target to hit. The attacker must make a called shot and even then the character is -3 to strike.
** Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will effectively destroy the artificial body, but emergency systems will keep the brain and vital organs alive for 36 hours. Recovery of the severely damaged body will enable doctors to place the character on a life support system that will keep him alive until a new bionic body (EIC or other) is available for full conversion. Failure to find the damaged borg within 36 hours means the character dies. Similarly, massive amounts of damage (125 points below zero) completely destroys the borg with no hope for recovery.
