\"Stickmen\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stickmen appear to be alien or D-bee humanoid plant beings made of wood and vines. However this is Logans answer to skelebots or the Shemarians A.R.C.H.I.E created.  These advanced bots are for stealth security and defense along with scouting,  They are capable of various skills and will present themselves as helpful individuals.  Helping with manual labor, and chores, while gathering intelligence, and monitoring the area, they will often travel with a Stick hound<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bot Bonuses<\/strong>:.. Includes ail bonuses from programming, robot cs and sensors, +2 to strike with an automatic rifle, energy pistol, or energy rifle (see W.P. skills), +5 to strike on an Aimed shot, +4 to strike with Vibro-Blades or hand to hand attack (punch, kick, etc.), +5 to parry with fists\/arms, +7 to parry with Vibro-Blade or knife\/sword, +6 to dodge, +4 to parry and dodge attacks from behind (motion detectors), +2 to roll with impact or fall (no pull punch), Critical Strike on Natural roll of 19 or 20. Impervious to poison, gas, and biological  agents, as well as psionic and magic mind control, charms, Bio-Manipulation, and S.D.C. attacks. See Sensor Systems for optical capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed:<\/strong>
Running:<\/strong> 90 mph (144 km) maximum. The act of running does  NOT tire the android, so top speed can be maintained indefinitely.
Leaping:<\/strong> 10 feet (3 m) high or lengthwise. A running leap in excess of 40 mph (64 km) adds an extra 10 feet (3 m) to the height or distance.
Flying:<\/strong> None
Range:<\/strong> The power pack gives the bot approximately two  years of life even under the most strenuous and constant amount of use, nearly three years under less active conditions.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Sensor Systems of Note:<\/strong> 
Optics:<\/strong> The bots have full optical systems, including the visible light spectrum, infrared, ultraviolet, and polarization, passive nightvision (light amplification), thermal-imaging, laser targeting, and telescopic. Telescopic optics function like built-in binoculars with a range of about two miles (3.2 km). All the other optic systems have a range about 3000 feet (914 m). 
Radar:<\/strong> Can identify and track up to 24 targets simultaneously at a range of two miles (3.2 km). Applicable to flying targets at 100 feet  above the ground or higher only. Radar can not track ground movement. 
Magnetometer:<\/strong> detect variation in magnetic fields 100\u2019 radius sensitivity when active.
Geiger detector:<\/strong> detect various forms and levels of radiation.
Seismic sensor:<\/strong> 1000 yd radius
Sonar<\/strong>: 1000 yd radius, adds to ability to parry and dodge (see bonuses).<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Radio Communication:<\/strong> Medium-range directional radio for coded messages between bots. Range: 10 miles (16 km) Or per carried radio equipment. Can also scan and communicate via code on conventional radio channels\/frequencies; same range. Can also eavesdrop on enemy transmissions and track transmissions (60% success level) to their source. Can detect the frequencies used by A.R.C.H.I.E. 3 creations. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Automatic Self-Destruct Mechanism: To make the androids seem more like a real creature, they do not explode when their Main Body M.D.C. is reduced to zero. Instead, all internal components burn and melt via a contained plasma blast that turns the inside into a dark green, oozing liquid reminiscent of lava, leaving no identifiable or salvageable parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
