I suspect the "faction Remote skill" might just be Mimetism, like on the Q-Drone, but through all chassis. Might be ODD, but that would just be hilariously face palm.
I'd be interested to see if there is new design space for the TR bot, or if we'll just get the same vanilla old HMG version like everyone else
A little disappointed we didn't get to see the artwork for the Omega and Beta but we'll get there. The sheskin though, she looks like the Speculo killer?
I AM french! I take offense to that! I wish the Sheskiin mini's head looked like the art. I don't like the open mouth at all.
Sheskin is a Cadmus-Naish, meaning she was modified to look like the enemy and infiltrate them, rather than dropping in as AD line most Cadmus. This is how she was able to get close enough to scan Achilles. Other (non-Cadmus) Naish include Victor Messer, Aida Swanson, and Speculo Killers.
Wait, where is a render of the mini? I'm hoping she's got an open mouth in her actual mini - would go a long way to making her look scarier. Maybe munching on a snack while she's doing so.
Clearly she's Morphoscanned Tarik, since she also has FAT2 after seeing how cool it was for Haqqislam.
Achilles used to have FAT2 but he keeps skipping Marksmanship practice to wash his hair and spend quality time with Patroclus, so now he's just BS15 :P
Does this mean the Merc force is canceled? They are mentioned in the Infinity RPG Core book so one would think they are going to be released somewhere down the road. Every other Merc company mentioned in the Core book is already out now.
On a side note: is it just me, or do other people also see the Caliban and Gwailo's spikes as chunky and not very Shas-like? They look very heavy and rectangular, I'd very much prefer them to look like the ones on Hsien.
