Oopsie. My bad reading, Kreuz. Strike that previous post!

THAT JLA. Great builds as usual.

It happens to us all.

Just been reading up on the Tangent universe after seeing these builds. Pretty interesting stuff. I like.

one of the darker aspects to the Tangent universe is that in the wake of the cuban missile disaster, the american and russian militaries turned to non-nuclear WMD's, culminating in the creation of a biochemical plague dubbed Red Tornado, which devastated Chzechoslovakia in the space of a week. No one can say for certain, but it's strongly rumored that the Manhunter is one of the few surviving plague bearers, and that her costume is as much for our protection as it is hers.

Mechanicly, Manhunter's meant to be a gun-fu beatstick, scything through the minions in a hail of gunfire.

Pooch

drawbacks (-8)
disability: mute (-4)
disability: no hands (-4)

costs
abilities 0 + combat 12 + saves 3 + skills 4/16 + feats 6 + powers 43 - drawbacks 8 = 60 pts

the unofficial "7th" member of the Secret Six, Pooch is Manhunter's extra pair of eyes, bodyguard, advance scout and perhaps the only affectation she allows herself of her old life. In fact, Manhunter has a tendency to treat Pooch beter than she does people

mechanicly, Pooch is a bigger, meaner robot version of the 'wonder dog' sidekick from Golden Age, and can easily be used as the template for any sort of robotic watchdog in your campaign

[Servitor_2152]

Ooh, spiffy.

Minister, take note: Kreuz just statted up an Adeptus Arbites cyber-mastiff!

[Libra]

Fascinating. The differences between Tangent and Canon DC are interesting too!

[Bravo]

More of the Hidden Half Dozen! Yeah!!!

Oh and Libra the whole concept tag line for Tangent - The only thing you know is the NAME - One of my favorite imprints to date!

Cheers

A very lame series from 1983, Turbo Teen is your average all-american teenager who gained the ability to transform into a living sports car after.. y;know what, in the interest of my sanity, here's The Origin

[Dreaming Psion]

Cool, I don't know much about the Tangent verse, but that robotic dog build is pretty cool.

Turbo Teen is a bit weird and funky, but it's a nifty if quirky build. I'm a little bit confused on how all those involuntary and one way transformations work together, can you explain those a little bit? Is the one way transformation from car to person or vice versa?

Also, I assume the weakpoint applies to the Enhanced Con power, is that correct?

[Kreuzritter]

one way transformation is meant to represent that once turbo teen has transformed (teen to car or car to teen), he's stuck that way until either cooled down (freind driving him through a car wash) or heated up (left under a bright lamp). I'm pretty sure there's a time factor as well before either method can be put into effect as well, so one way should apply as written in the rules. remember TT's from a 1983 cartoon series, where powers and drawbacks came and went like spinal tap drummers

[Psistrike]

Can't believe someone actually stated up Turbo Teen. And if I remember correctly even if exposed to heat or cold after just transforming from one state to another he had to wait for about a minute before he could transform again.

. . . . . sometimes the 80's just make me sad good build as always there K-Man

[Libra]

Aaah the 80's. I'm glad I missed most of it.

[Thorpacolypse]

Ah, Libra, the folly of youth...

The 80's were the greatest. Remember, the Olsen twins got their start in the 80's.

Wait a minute, that's not a plus. Never mind. Be glad you missed it!
