Re: [HOE] Chop Bots (Junker Question/Challenge)(Hopler)

[Dirk <darklord@dark-sky.net>]

I came close using the Junker rules (I thought that Hobbs built them himself),
it's just over a full frame size bigger, and the weapon doesn't do the same
damage (Str +1d8 AP3 or Str +2d8 AP2 as opposed to the original Str+2d8 AP4).
Ill post the full stats later if anyone is interested... gotta do some
miniaturizing first in order to fit the power packs in.
