Re: How would you make a Possessed Minute Man Robot?
This thread got me to wondering: what would a giant robot created through
the collaboration of DEMON and Genocide/IHA look like?
Well, this was what I came up with. I had initially intended for this to be a
battlesuit, but there's no reason that it couldn't be a much larger unit...

The long spikes in the forearms are morphic-metal weapons (sort of like what the
liquid-metal Terminator in Terminator 2: Judgement Day was using), which can also
be used to deliver an electrical shock, either by direct contact or at range.
The horned skull emblem on the chest area conceals a weapon of its own, called the
Eyes of the Basilisk. When the beam from this weapon strikes a victim in his or her
face, he or she is instantly paralyzed and helpless.
The gauntlets also house gas projectors, which can either spray a lethal nerve agent
or a fast-acting knockout gas such as halothane, depending upon the type of mission
(capture or extermination).
The primary defense mechanism of the unit is an energy-shield that extends out-
ward from its super-alloy shell, protecting it not only from conventional attacks
but also from metahuman powers such as those of Black Falcon.
The unit is capable of rapid flight by means of the huge thruster pack on its back,
and the attached wings provide increased stability while airborne.
The sensor suite of the unit is a bizzare mix of technomancy and technology; elec-
tronic sensors of several different types operate in conjunction with divination mag-
ics to identify its targets and their capabilities.
The battlesuit version is designed to be operated by a trained human DEMON-warrior,
while the 'Minuteman'-sized version is designed to be inhabited and controlled by a
'techno-demon' -- a malign, mystical entity which is capable of possessing and con-
trolling machinery of any type.
So, Pizza Man, how do you like my infernal imaginings?
