I'm looking at going for the fully snowballed worst case scenario of multiversal armagedon with all those niggling problems around the multiverse going for the Oh Sh- button. Like Hel using the chaos to complete her plans..
In the campaign I was running and still am kinda.... it turns out the AbM Mechanoids joined with ARCHIE, made a new settlement.
But it took about 6 months of fighting to bring the Mechs under control however one or two got a message off the planet, nobody knows if the messages got out.. however robotech got rifted in.... another race has gained the some technologies from those as well...
Death head Valkyries anyone.... heeheeheehee
after 20 odd years of the same character time has come......
In various rifts books they talk about the storms that come sometimes... sometimes blobby creatures fall from the sky and stuff. Always envisioned some of those as being mechanoids without the armor, but still having all the psionics, and actually did play it out that way a time or two.
Other then that, did try a time or two with PCs in Rifts going on vs mechanoids, and it usually had to involve a retreat somewhere or the PCs needing major help from above.
In Rifts Mexico: Hell's on Fire, the young Cyber-Knight is having visions of the Mechanoids reigning fire down upon earth. Thus far, the group has not investigated them too deeply. These visions are causing Cody to lose sleep by nightmares so powerful he wakes others with his kicking, screaming, and thrashing about.

Now...put the concept of a daemon or supernatural intelligence out of your mind...now think. What ELSE could cause such a massive amount of rage & hate in the psionic AEther?

Spoiler:
i am going to be using the mechanoids soon in one of my current games.
I'm running a personalised version of the CS vs Tolkeen war. I have 3 players on the CS side, 3 on the tolkeen side. At the start of the campaign they are just fighting the war, but after a few weeks a secret tolkeen research project will accidently unleash the mechanoids into the middle of the conflict. i've not planned what exactly will happen from here i'll just improv it from the groups actions (its often the best way), but if each side wishes to survive they may have to call a cease fire.
Nice way to mix it up.
Crap I didn't that coming. Love those kind of games

DM is correct by the way. - Ninjabunny It's a shoddy carpenter who blames his tools. - Killer Cyborg Every group has one problem player. If you cannot spot the one in your group; look in the mirror. It is not a good session until at least one player looks you in the eye and says "you sick twisted evil ****"

I've both played as a character against Mechanoids as well as used them in my campaign when running as GM. I used them on Rifts Earth in a campaign in which the PCs were participating in actions against the first of the major threats from Plato's Planetary Edicts (ie, Mechanoids, and then as part of the Gathering of Heroes vs the 4 Horsemen). They played just one part (albeit an important one) against the Mechanoids, ultimately destroying an Oracle and the troops it controlled, and eliminating a factory the Mechs had taken over and were refurbishing. I enjoyed it, and the players seemed to as well. Was a good start to the campaign... the characters gained several levels (and good group dynamic experiences) before moving on.
I am currently running a Mechanoids adventure from the original book one of the trilogy. Characters are currently fighting a guerrilla campaign against a mechanoid siege force.
Good times, except for the guy floating comatose in the Paalokean Sea.
