the Road Rebel
The Road Rebel is a small, tracked vehicle that exists solely to transport a massive missile launcher into the fight. When it's ready to fire, this green and brown camouflaged vehicle can extend firing bracers and light up anything in its line of sight.
The Road Rebel has these vehicular characteristics:
| C Gd 10 |
S Ty 6 |
B Ex 20 |
P Ty 6 |
Body Armor: the design of the Road Rebel makes it rather durable. It's possessed of an effective m.s. of Excellent (20), and provides its occupant -2 CS protection from attack. Anyone hanging onto the rear of the vehicle does not benefit from this defense.
Communications Array: the Road Rebel is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system, allowing for constant team communications. This provides Typical (6) comm power (a 10 mile range) with Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.
Flamethrower: mounted on either side of the Road Rebel (though with but one per vehicle) is its flame projector. This device can fire a gout of burning material which will inflict Remarkable (30) SD Energy damage per deadly blast, often enough to kill its targets outright!
Missile Launcher: by far its main feature, this implement occupies half of the Road Rebel's volume. It can fire up to four missiles at a time, in an almost semi-automatic fashion, each doubling of such that hit a foe increasing the listed damage by +1 CS:
| C Ex 20 |
S Am 50 |
B Ex 20 |
Damage Remarkable (30) Edged Attack (fragmentary) |
Passenger: though the Road Rebel only fits one Joe, another can hang onto the rear to operate the vehicle's missile launcher (if the driver can't for some reason). This is accomplished thanks to a fold-down rear panel that creates a platform for him to hang on to and fire the weapon.
