Variable Modular Heavy Combat Borg Body An innovation in Borg systems though contracted collaborations of Triax Industries and

the manufacturing complex of Star Brigade. The VMHCB system is a basic Torso and Head much like any Borg body(basic system is patterned off of the very successful Triax Red borg). The bas system has the modular Shoulder Attachment Point, and the Base(human-like) Arms also include A modular lower arm Joins, a Forearm port for weapons systems(Energy Weapons tie directly into the Borgs nuclear power supply), and a modular hand attachment. The base of the torso is the only place on the Legs that are modular, with only a few systems available. There is also a modular attachment port in the ribcage underneath the regular arms(for an additional pair of arms and hands) along with 4 separate attachment points on the Back. MDC by location: *Head 90 (reinforced) **Main body (Normal) 280 plus can wear any of the Cyborg Armor systems, available on assignment. *Destroying the head of a Cyborg will kill the character! However, the head is a small and difficult target to hit. The attacker must make a called shot and even then is -3 to strike(-4 when a shoulder weapon system is in place). **Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will effectively destroy the artificial body, but emergency systems will keep the Brain alive for 36 hours. Recovery of the severly damaged body will enable doctors to place the character on a life support system that will keep him alive until a new bionic body 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.

Speed (Varies by leg type) Running: 70 MPH in heavy Infantry Armor or 100 MPH in any other body armor type(human legs), or Spd 44 running in the Rocket booster legs(Heavy armor not possible with Rocket booster legs) Leaping: 15 feat high or lengthwise. A running leap adds 30 additional feet. Leaping is only possible with the Regular Human Legs. Maximum Driving Speed: 85 MPH for the tread type legs(102 MPH when on good road, Flat Grasslands, or Hard Earth); 220 MPH for Wheeled type legs (90MPH when on Soft or rugged terrain) Maximum Fight Speed: 200 MPH With the attached Jet pack(takes up all 4 Back attachment points), 500 MPH with the attached Jetpack, Wing arms and Rocket booster Legs; Cruising speed for both set-ups is only about 25% of the maximum speed but can be maintained indefinitely, maximum Speed is only available for about an hour before needing to drop to cruising for another half hour, or a 15 min rest stop due to the jets+rockets beginning to over-heat. Statistical Data Average Height: 8 feet (Some Back systems may add to this, this will be noted for the systems; The tread and Wheel type legs keep the same height as the Human Legs to avoid issues with the character having to adjust for a new height). Width: 4 feet (The Wing arms add an additional 6 feet in either direction; 16 feet total; Wheel and Tread Legs keep the same basic profile in width) Length: 3 feet (Some Back systems may add to this, this will be noted for the systems; Wheel and Tread Style legs add 2 feet to length).

Weight: 2000 lbs(for a base humanoid, different arm/Leg system, and attachment will add to the weight, as will additional armor) Physical attributes: Robot PS 30, PP 22 Power System: Nuclear(20 years average Life) Market Cost: Unavailable. The only model currently available is that of the Player Character. It is currently undergoing field testing. When it becomes available the Mass market version will be between 2&3 million Credits plus an additional cost for any and all spare modules. Standard Bionic Features(Head and Torso): -1 Multi-optic Eye -1 Cyber Camera Eye(mostly for research back at the base) -1 Standard universal head-jack(behind Right Ear) -2 Special head-jacks in the base of the skull, for operating back-mounted systems -Bionic lungs w/Gas filter and O2 storage cell(24 hrs due to only needing to supply Brain with Oxygen, all other systems completely bionic) -Built-in loud speaker -Built-in Radio receiver and Transmitter -Gyro-compass -Clock Calendar -2 Cyber-nano robot repair systems(mounted in the chest) -2 modular Shoulder housings -2 additional housings on either side of the ribcage, used to mount additional hand and arm units.

The Forearm is detachable just below the elbow, can use a Gatling Railgun, Particle Beam cannon, or Plasma Ejector cannon arm. -Forearm blaster Port. This system is an armored covering over a recessed port thatrallows the attachment of any basic forearm blaster unit, or a retractable vibro-blade housing. Attaching a new unit can be done by the Borg himself and only takes 1 melee action(2 to switch out, replacing a blaster unit with another blaster unit) -Interchangeable Hand unit. The borg can quickly(2 actions) change either hand from a standard hand to either a sensor hand or a hand containing a Palm Energy Generator. Borg Air superiority/recognizance flight system. Consists of Wing Arm attachments(Attaches to both Main shoulder and Additional Hand/Arm unit Housing on each side), borg Jetpack(Attaches to all 4 Back system Attachment Points), and Jet booster Legs. While the Jet Pack is an independent attachable system; this particular Rig is all or nothing. This is included in Arm options because it is the Only Way the Wing arms may be attached.

-Maximum Flight Speed: 500 MPH(Spd 734), limited to 1 hour before system overheats and borg must stop or reduce speed to cruising(Cooling takes hour at cruising speed, or 15 minutes if the Borg lands) -Maximum Altitude: 2 miles -Cruising Speed: 125 MPH (Spd 184) -Walking/running Spd: 44(30 MPH) -Legs PS 18(Bionic) -Legs PP 18 MDC by Location: Wings(2) 90 Legs(2) 90 Feet/Boosters(2) 20 Bionic Jet pack 120 -Bonuses: +2 Dodge(In flight only) +2 to strike(with the Wings integrated Laser Pulse weapons) -Adds 1.5 feet to Length, and 12 feet to Width -2 Radar Tracking and Fire Control units.

The multiple launch mini-missile Back System, and the Back mounted Short Range Missile Launcher system both require the use of the Tread or Wheeled Leg systems. Height is not reduced due to an extended suspension system raising the Borg to his standard Human-like leg Height to reduce the need for the Borg to adjust his aim for the new height(designed to relieve undo stress) -Top Speed 75 MPH(Spd 110), 90 MPH(Spd 132) when on good road, Flat Grasslands, or Hard Earth -Cruising Speed is 45 MPH(Spd 66), 54 MPH(Spd 79) when on good road, Flat Grasslands, or Hard Earth MDC by Location: Lower Body 100 Tread(2) 60 Wheeled Legs This is a Jeep-like Lower body with 4 Balloon tires made for the Quick Traversing of Rough Road and allowing for Greater weight without reducing speed. Heavy infantry Cyborg Armor does not reduce the Speed for Wheeled Legs(But No Armor is added to the Lowerbody/Suspension system when wearing it). Further more the multiple launch mini-missile Back System, and the Back mounted Short Range Missile Launcher system both require the use of the Tread or Wheeled Leg systems. Height is not reduced due to an extended suspension system raising the Borg to his standard Human-like leg Height to reduce the need for the Borg to adjust his aim for the new height(designed to relieve undo stress) -Top Speed 150 MPH(Spd 220), but a mere 90MPH(Spd 132) when on Soft or rugged terrain -Cruising Speed 75 MPH(Spd 110), But a mere 45MPH(Spd 66) when on Soft or rugged terrain MDC by Location: Lower Body 100 Wheels(4) 25 Back mounted Systems There are 4 Mounting Points on the Back of the Borg torso, 2 in the Upper Back , and 2 in the Lower Back(Each one on the Right or left Side). There are also the 2 Special Head Jacks mounted in the Base of the Cyborg Skull, Each Upper Back system has a Wire with a Plug-in that allows the Borg to control the System(The Jet Pack, taking up Both Upper Back mounting points has 2 such Plug-ins), All systems that add to Height, or length are not added together, only the largest system applies. Back Mounted Shoulder Railgun Turret This system mounts to one of the Upper Back attachment Points and can be Stowed back(barrel pointing Straight up), or swing up and forward in the Ready to Fire position.
