NEW ROBOT DESIGN by Robot in Black (RIB) - TL9 This is one of the inhuman versions of the classic "Men in Black" that the Illuminati may end up sending after investigators that get too powerful for their own good. It is designed for a TL7 or TL8 game, where androids like this are unheard of. In a TL9 game, it loses some of its impact, but is still a good tool for the Hidden Masters. Brain: Standard brain with genius and +3 DX booster options (20 lbs, .4 cf, $157,500, -5 pts). Complexity 5. Sensors: Basic sensors with acute vision +4, thermographic vision, acute hearing +4, no sense of smell/taste, and smoke detector (1.4 lbs, .028 cf, $8,000, 31 pts). Communicator: Basic communicator with no cable jack (.45 lbs, .009 cf, $225, 10 pts). Arm Motors: 2 ST 21 motors (each: 3.15 lbs, .063 cf, $6,300). Drivetrain: .35 KW Two-Leg Drivetrain (each: 7 lbs, .14 cf, $1,400). Weaponry: Electrolaser rifle, with laser sight, concealed [sp/3d+1/ 5/14/100/300/1/(5/C)/-0] (5 lbs, .25 cf, $1825, 25 pts); caseless machine pistol, liquid-propellant smartgun, with laser sight, concealed [cr/3d/5/10/180/2000/10/30/-1]~ (3.75 lbs, .1875 cf, $1525, 5 pts), jaw, ST 1 [cr/1d-5] (.1 lbs, .005 cf, $200, 1 pt). ~ LPSG can also be fired subsonic ([cr/1d+2/5/8/90/1000/10/30/-0] and silent) or hyper ([cr/4d+2/5/11/270/3000/10/30/-2] and louder).
