ARCHIE's Robot Minions
Under Construction


ATV Articulated Hauler (Robot) This vehicle resembles the Scammell and xxxxx ATV haulers. The cab section resembles a normal 20thC articulated truck cab, except that it is a half-track vehicle. The articulated Trailer, which is some 10m in overall length, has a tracked drive rather than the conventional unpowered 3 wheeled axles found on 20thC bogies. Both the cab section and trailer section are heavily armed and armoured. The cab section has twin turrets mounting twin pulse lasers and a single railgun. In addition it has twin 6 tube mini missile launchers and a twin tube SRM launcher. The trailer section has 4 roof turrets with twin pulse lasers and a single railgun, 8 side turrets mounting single ion cannons, 4 twin tube mini missile launchers, and a second twin tube SRM Launcher. The cab section can carry 4 passengers comfortably internally, whilst the trailer can carry 2 borgs and 4 infantry. In the convoys two haulers carry 2 Lopit merchants and two Lopit Technicians, whilst the other carries 4 Lopit Merchants.

It's a 3 axle (1+2) vehicle, 10 wheeled vehicle, with limited hover (approx 0.5m) capabilities. The Scout carries two Lopit Infantry Troopers and has a 1.2mx2mx2m cargo bay. Sky Raider To all intents and purposes this minion looks like a Northgun Sky King. However apart from it being a robot it is 25% faster and better armed and armoured. It is always 'ridden' by a Lopit Infantry trooper to maintain the pretense that it's a piloted vehicle. In extreme circumstances the trooper can actually use a hand held weapon to augment the Sky Raider's weaponry. Lopit The Lopit are a range of Human robots created by Archie purely to maintain the pretense that Titan Industries has its manufacturing facility in the Mid-West. These robots (except when configured as a Borg) are either 5'6", 5'8", or 5'10" tall and may be male (70%) or female (30%). All Lopit appear to have Cyber-Armour, Amplified Hearing, and a single strange monocular. They otherwise appear to be human. Lopit Merchants appear to have no additional augmentation, whilst Technicians have a forearm variable frequency/range laser. Infantry usually have a forearm mini-missile on the left arm and forearm vibro blade on the right arm (15% have this combination reversed). Borgs usually have a forearm plasma blaster on the right arm, forearm mini-missile on the left arm, and vibro claws in both hands. All Lopit are armed at all times. Standard sidearms are C11 Laser Pistols (45%), Wilks Laser Pistols (30%), NG-Super Laser Pistols (20%), or xxxxxx. Merchants carry a Wilks xxxxx(70%) or xxxx. Technicians carry a Wilks xxxxxxx (55%), (40%), or . Infantry carry a C12 Assault Rifle(55%), C14 Fire Breather(30%), (10%), or C27 Plasma Rifle(5%). Borgs carry either a C12 and C40R Borg Railgun (70%) or a C27 and TX-500 Railgun. If there has been a problem with ambushes in a given location then 2 of the Borgs will have Shermian railguns instead!
