the Lynx
The Lynx is a strange vehicle, a frankenmachine built by the Slaughter's Marauders for their own strange efforts against Cobra. The combination of a Wolverine's body and an M.B.T. Mauler's cannon, the Lynx comes across as a miniature tank with an oversized punch - just the way the team likes it. Though slow and unwieldy, the Lynx has these vehicular statistics and capabilities:
| C Gd 10 |
S Pr 4 |
B Am 50 |
P Rm 30 |
Body Armor: part of its very operating description, the Lynx is a heavily armored vehicle as a general rule of thumb. The Lynx a very heavy metal object, accounting for its Body rating, and is enhanced by solid steel armor plating, which provides for the Protection given to the driver within. This Remarkable (30) armor applies to both the vehicle and to its occupant.
Gear Cases: the Lynx is fully equipped with a large array of gear that its pilot may need in the field, in the event of various emergencies. Spread about the Lynx are various cases filled with first aid kits, mechanical tool kits, road working kits, sleeping bags, and even a small case for its pilots' arms and ammo, should the Lynx get disabled and its driver have to fight it out directly.
MXZ-105 mm Earthquake Cannon: the Lynx's sole weapon, this martial terror allows its gunner to inflict staggering damage to the opposition. When fired, it fires high explosive shells that will inflict Amazing (50) Shooting (fragmentary) damage to anything it hits, and it can carry up to 75 shells before needing to return to base for a reload.
Optical Targeting System: the mammoth MXZ-105 mm Earthquake cannon on the Lynx is assisted by a powerful target acquisition system. Targeted optically by the Lynx's pilot, its attacks have the ability to hit her target by +2 CS to her normal ability under ideal conditions, though this bonus will be cut to a 'mere' +1 CS if the lasers are obscured somehow.
