the self replicating skelebot?
Does anyone remember where or what book contained the super experimental skelebot that could clone itself, or the skelebot graveyards?

Skelebot Graveyards are from the Siege on Tolken Series (not in #6 or #4).
I'm not aware of a self-replicating skelebot, even if it was experimental.

One of the early Rifters (#7, 'Experimental Skelebots').

Re: the self replicating skelebot?
awesome, thanks you. I am working on ways in an adventure for the players to create or build a salvage business to provide income for themselves. it should also benefit the local community by attracting trade and such. trouble might be negotiating with any Black Market operators in the area, or possibly NG/Titan robotics who might desire to purchase from them and or special retrieval commissions to dangerous areas. good times.

Re: the self replicating skelebot?
all of this sounds like excellent fodder for good role playing. It is after all 6 square miles of ruined battleground. if the players plan it right and try hard, they might just get away with it.

you know, I actually was working on a way for a killed PC to become a tectonic or possessing entity, stealing robot bodies to adventure with......

Re: the self replicating skelebot?
Experiment with amplified psychic Telemechanics Operation/Possession that went a little TOO far perhaps?

Re: the self replicating skelebot?
or a failed attempt by the CS at Lonestar (what a freakshow they got running) to create pilot mind transference or copying. Then again, all the real ghosts on rifts earth had to come from somewhere, right? Why can't a PC become a vengeful spirit if the moon is high and the P.P.E. rises......
Re: the self replicating skelebot?
Cyberworks had VRRDS tech (MiO pg 62-64). If it had been recovered by the CS, Bandito Arms, FQ, or Apache and integrated with the powers of Psi-Techs, who knows what may happen during a LL storm or dimensional shift...slade2501 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 3:00 pm or a failed attempt by the CS at Lonestar (what a freakshow they got running) to create pilot mind transference or copying.

Re: the self replicating skelebot?
While Cyberworks has VRRDS tech, Triax has something similar in WB5 (pg166-9) plus brain transplants (basically Cyborg) and use of M.O.M tech for mind transference (both ways). The M.O.M tech even considers what happens to the mind when the robot body is destroyed (pg168 WB5 point#4).Grazzik wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 5:07 pmCyberworks had VRRDS tech (MiO pg 62-64).

Re: the self replicating skelebot?
you might be remembering details from the Savage Rifts roleplaying game setting. Specifically:
Skelebot Graveyards: Mentioned in the Dawn of Tomorrow campaign setting sourcebook.
The specific "super experimental skelebot" with cloning abilities is harder to pinpoint without more details. Savage Rifts has a vast amount of lore, so checking the Savage Rifts main rulebook or specific splatbooks (supplements) focused on robots or technology might be helpful.

it's rifter 7, page 65 through 67. the Super-Skelebot, which is a biomechanical skelebot (really, closer to being a cyborg) mixing cloned flesh with manufactured robot. it has the ability to fuel itself by eating dead enemies, can heal itself to a degree, and give birth to a new copy of itself every 2 months.
