Copyright (c) 1996 by Jon Glenn This bit o' nastyness is a concept I came up with for the background of a cyberpunk setting that I was fooling around with back around '92 or '93. The basic idea is that severely wounded special ops types are being secretly borged by the black ops departments of our government. Partial blame for this design goes to the forgotten Z-Rock Deejay who played Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" back to back with Metallica's "One". They could show up in almost any game where the government can't be fully trusted. Special Ops, Illuminati, and Horror are especially good. All componets are TL:8. Common weapon packages for the pallet include a 5.56mm gatling, a flamethrower, and 9 M72A2 LAWs from High Tech. Other options are an Auto Grenade Launcher, and a LMG, or a 12.7mm HMG with 2 M72A2 LAWs. (The LAWs would most likely be AT-4s in real life, but the M72 is what I've got stats for.)
