Negative. The CS 'Deathshead' is the original SAMAS armor. Anything NEMA or Chaos Earth related is after Rifts Mainbook, and therefore does not count as original. Also due to horrible writing, and poorly thought out storyline, Chaos Earth should be used only to line one's catbox, and never as canon material.

Hands down the Wild Weasel. It is one of the two most maneuverable suits available but its ECM/Sensor/Communications suite make it one of the most deadly suits out there.

But we don't have that book yet. So we cannot compare those SAMAS to the current ones.

Nope, They released Triax 3, but the trick is its printed with paper and ink that only true Palladium fans can see.

You better have those other books done first... :bandit:

There will probably be some concurrent work going on. I have a Splicers project, Japan 2 and Monster Kingdoms that I want to work on too.

Same here on the Wild Weasel.

Gotta go with the Weasel on this. It is the only half way decent peace of Electronic warfair in the whole game.
The Clones are coming you shall all be replaced, but who is to say you have not been replaced already.

Master of Type-O and the obvios.

Soon my army oc clones and winged-monkies will rule the world but first, must .......

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

I certainly don't need details...

...though you ARE going to cover Magical Girls, right? Right?! RIGHT???!!! :P

It will be pretty much the mystical and monstrous elements that were only touched on.

Nope, they're Rifter material for the Fall of N.O.R.A.D. adventure. Unless otherwise officially stated, material in the Rifter is considered to be NONcanon.
