Thadius Enterprises
Phase-Tech Glitter Boy

By: Joshua Brink

Model Type: TE-PT-G101

Class: Laser Resistant Armored Infantry Assault Unit

Crew: One Pilot

M.D.C. by location:

Right Shoulder Gravitonic Rail Gun -- 225

* These objects are small targets and require a called shot at -3 (a modified 16 or better)

** Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will shut the power armor down completely, rendering it useless. Note: Laser weapons do half damage!

Speed

Leaping: The powerful robot legs can leap up to 12' (3.6 m) high or across. Add 10' with a running start. Jet thruster assisted leaps can hurl the power armor 160' (48 m) up or across.

Flying: 160 mph in atmosphere or Mach 1 in space.

Under Water: 40 mph at up to 1000' down

Statistical Data

Weapon Systems

1. Primary Purpose: Anti-Ship and Anti-Armor

   Secondary Purpose: Anti-Personnel

   Weight: Rail Gun: 800 lbs. The gravatonic technology creates a much lighter weapon (720 lbs.) but the extra armor brings the weight back up.

   Mega-Damage: 6D6x10 in atmosphere (+30 at point blank, under 300', range) or 1D6x100 in space. In either incidence a critical strike occurs on an unmodified 18, 19 or 20 due to the amazing penetration power of the "slug"

   Effects of the Boom Gun in atmosphere: The GB suit is specially insulated from the shock wave of the Boom Gun, however, everybody within 250' will be temporarily deafened. Characters without any type of head/ear protection will be temporarily deafened for 2D6 minutes and are -8 on initiative and -3 to parry and dodge. Characters who are in protective body or power armor will have some protection but will still be temporarily deafened for 1D6 minutes; the same penalties apply. Each sonic boom will add to the duration of the deafness. The sonic boom will also affect the physical surroundings by shaking buildings and shattering S.D.C. windows within 450' of the boom.

   Rate of fire: The Boom gun can be fired every other attack. Other weapons can be used while the Boom Gun is reloading. Bursts and sprays are NOT possible!

   Maximum Effective Range: 3 mi. (6 km) in atmosphere or Line of sight in space (6 mi. without penalty).

   Payload: 100 "slugs". The Boom Gun can be reloaded by hand, one round at a time, by the pilot. It will take about 15 minutes to load 40 rounds or 2 rounds every 3 melees. A carrying drum of 40 rounds is sometimes used to carry extra rounds. The drum has 50 M.D.C. and can be carried on the hip/waist if a utility belt is not worn.
2. TE-86-EMP Modified E.M. Pulse Cannon (1): This specially designed electro-magnetic pulse cannon has been modified to bypass the E.M. shielding on some Bots, Power Armor and various other vehicles (65% chance or 95% of pre-rifts technology) shutting down all electronics until depolarized.

3. Primary Purpose: Anti-Ship and Anti-Power Armor
   Secondary Purpose: Anti-Vehicle and Anti-Borg
   Weight: 25 lbs.

   Mega-Damage: None. Shuts down all electrical output until the unit is depolarized. The E.M. Pulse will not penetrate force fields but it will weaken them. Reduce Force field by 5% of base M.D.C. for each blast. It also will not effect armor or vehicles that are not powered up.

   Rate of fire: Once per melee round. It takes 15 Seconds to recharge.
   Maximum Effective range: 100' (-10% chance of shut down for each additional 10')
   Payload: Effectively unlimited.

4. Phase Sword (1): This sword retracts into the right forearm of the Glitterboy. A larger version of the Phase Sword from Phase World.

5. Primary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
   Secondary Purpose: Defense
   Weight: 10 lbs.
   Mega-Damage: 1D6x10
   S.D.C.: 1D4x10+25

6. Phase Beamer (1): Located on the left shoulder, this weapon follows the movements of the helmet and is +2 to strike. Same as the PH-21 from Phase World.

7. Primary Purpose: Anti-Personnel

   Secondary Purpose: Defense
   Weight: 5 lbs.
   Mega-Damage: 4D6
   S.D.C.: 3D6
   Rate of Fire: Equal to the number of combined hand to hand of the pilot and the power armor training.
   Payload: Effectively unlimited.

8. Micro-Missile Launcher (2): A larger version of the NE-28 launcher in Dimension book 3: Phase World.

9. Primary Purpose: Anti-Vehicle
   Secondary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
   Weight: 10 lbs ea.
   Mega-Damage: 6D6 per missile to a 3' area.
   Rate of Fire: One or a volley of two or four from each launcher (yes up to eight can be fire at once).
   Payload: Four missiles per hand.

10. Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use a weapon, the pilot can engage in Mega-Damage hand to hand combat. See Power Armor Combat Training in the Robot combat section of the Rifts© RPG for specifics.

11. Combat Bonuses: +2 to initiative, +2 to parry and dodge (+3 to parry with Phase Sword), and +3 to roll with punch, fall or impact (very shock resistant). All bonuses are in addition to Power Combat Training Bonuses.

12. Sensor System: The Glitter Boy has some special features.
