Cause I do not have the world book with the specified details in it haha . So i generalized on the certain area's so that I wouldent miss anyone :P

-Lenwen.

P.S.
I coulda said they have the capabilities to create bots .. due to the logic that they can create a borg (which is harder to make then any bot :-P )

I've always had a special place in my heart for Triax bots. So my vote goes to the NGR.

Interesting Kittani isnt even on the list...

Seriously, stuff made in WB2 is still pretty powerful even after power creep that has come into the world in the past 30 world books.

Serpent PA...300+ MDC...Auto Dodge...same ranged damage as a SAMAS.

The dino bots and PA from South America are pretty tough as well.

Before Naruni's Sun Chariot, the Kittani were the only ones who have mastered transformable mecha in the Rifts dimension. The ability to create transformable mecha is significant.

Even though the Kittani need a serious overhaul in terms of power since their first appearance in Rifts, Id say they still make the most sophisticated bots and power armor. The only ones who trump them are the Naruni (Thermo-Kinetic armor is a fairly significant advancement as well). But the Naruni just had a modern book printed (as of 109 PA). The Kittani havnt seen print since 105 PA (Splynn Dimensional Market). There are 4 years of Kittani gear we havnt seen yet.

I voted Naruni - that bot in the back of the Naruni book is insane...at best.

/Sub
There's a reason...and a very good one...that I have certain people in this forum blocked both here and on Facebook.

I can see an illustration of that nearly every time I come here.

I don't think Naruni actually makes anything on Rifts Earth, so I'll go with the Kittani and then Archie as a close second.

I'll go with the Kittani, but I agree with those that picked Archie as closet to or equal to Kittani. So, I voted Archie for this poll.

Natasha: Bob you're deadly. I like it.

Yup...and it was official material to boot. Not to mention SB1:R reconfirms Titan is made by ARCHIE.

Page number please. I just searched SB1 and aside Hagan having a Flying Titan Power Armor, there is no connection between ARCHIE and Titan Robotics.

Page 62, right side, bottom of the third paragragh:

Whether they know it or not, every merchant that sells the Titan series of power armor or robots is a spy for Archie. How? Because they are supplied by the mysterious Cyberworks Network, which, of course, is Archie.


Guess that means you fall in the "not" catagory, huh? :P

Can Archie create a Bot that is so advanced it would be on Par with the Repobot's ?

Or would you guys think that is quite possibly something out of Archie's area of Expertise ?

Also Do you guys think that Archie could concievably create one shot vastly experitmental prototypes that had features such as Force Fields , or anything of that presice style ?

Naruni, then archie or triax, but I'd have a hard time chosing between the two.

Sorry to call this Poll a non-question, but it is ARCHIE, by far, who makes the best, most technologically advanced 'bots on Rifts Earth.

This was not only stated canon in the earliest Rifts Books, but those statements were made even before ARCHIE upgraded his arsenal with Mechanoid Technology.

BTW, the questions can be read two ways:

Who makes the best bots that appear on this planet?

Who has manufacturing facilities on this planet that make the best bots?

Lol, reckon so. After owning that book for so many years, I managed to skip right over that and didnt notice it till the Rifter article.
