"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair,
Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

I'm not a big fan of adding more power armor to AtB as I'd rather not see it get Riftsdiculous. I'm one of those GM's that'll keep mutant animal players from using Power Armor in AtB.

What are they using for weapons, foul language?

there is your problem. you sending single bot's up against Rhino's, elepahnts, and other big characters.
against those target, i beleive SoP is a a platoon of bots and or tanks, supported with a platoon of foot soldiers...
now if these giant characters can trounce 4 tanks and 16 troops using the correct military tactics, then there is a flaw in the system. but high powered characters are supposed to tough, thats the point. so they have ot have high powered opposition, and the easiest way to do that is to increase the number of normal opponents they face.

Time to throw some SL14 Mutant Mastiffs with crushing strength (if you're using ATB2) into the New Kennel ranks. Easily done in ATB2, and in the older systems, the GM is allowed to cheat when making NPC's
