Sten-star XJ-11 Battlefield Trooper (Empire of Dreams)

The Sten-star is an older model robot designed to strike fear into its foes.  At 9 feet tall, weighing nearly a ton, the powerful robot thunders when it walks.  It is obsolete on the modern interstellar battlefield and has instead found its way into a number of private armies as perimeter guard and thug.  Many models have had the brain replaced with a new neural-net model and have achieved good results using them as bodyguards.  The left arm is designed as the "weapon arm", and most of the weapons are built deep inside it surrounding a solid metal core (good for melee) and including two 10mm slugthrowers and the contact electric stun weapon.  For tougher opponents, the Sten-star XJ-11 mounts a full-barrel 25mm slugthrower behind the right shoulder.  It swings up and over when in use, and the targeting electronics are excellent.


THAMF "Freak Killer Mark V" (GURPS International Super Teams)

What is old and outdated on one world is super-science in another. On Earth, the "Freak Killer Mark V" represents the latest advances in THAMF anti-mutant technology.  THAMF scientists worked long and hard to produce this killing machine, and while they only have a few at this time, they are developing facilities in North and South America to produce more. THAMF felt the versatility and power of the humanoid frame justified the exhorbatent cost.
