I hope someone does an (artwork) update of the Wulfen Quatoria and one of a generic wulfen in the Phase World setting.
I've got a background under construction of a Wulfen Freight Company and I can just see these guys hanging around a starport in a flight suit and even the "old guy" wulfen who's in management, would be incredibly imposing to most other human-sized aliens.
Wolfen / Wulfen are intimidation writ-large (pun intended)..and that's when they're being friendly.
Be affraid when one smiles at you

That would be a very intimidating visiage! A Wulfen Quatoria that big might be able to force his quarry to surrender by growling at them!

Kinda when you are playing poker with a human - look into his eyes.
But never look into the eye of a canine (unless you want to pick a fight/intimidate) - but they cannot done a "poker tail". Same for
felines (thought the same tail movement signals different moods
- that is why cats and dogs are in odds ie.: bad communication).
Only primates show their teeth in joy (read: smile) .

Lets look at it this way. You would want the Wulfen Quatoria to be able to intimidate other Wulfen. So I would think (despite what the book might give for size) that it would be even bigger than the average Wulfen. Now that's huge!

wulf-borg, almost all MDC and very fast and heals on it's own.
Carl, the Quatoria OCC offers it "multi-optic eyes" which according to the Rifts RPG don't look real (obviously cybernetics) but the drawing...well, er.
So my question is, (no right or wrong answer here) would
your Eugenics offer the equivalent of Multi-optic eyes ? or something similar to the Nightvision Eyes out of the Bionics SB ? (which I think are bio-systems and very Eugenic-like).
I consider Phase World setting to be technologically advanced enough to have life-like multi-optic eyes.

If the player asked for something like the MOE I would have them buy the upgrades as per the Supervision eugenics upgrade in PU2. I'm not sure how you handle the cross hairs, but it looks like you'd get just about everything you need and more.
I've also allowed players to have a life like MOE, but at an extra cost. I think I used to increase the cost of the MOE by 50%. I picture it like the terminators eyes.

I think I'm with you on this one. I have another Space RPG where you can acquire IR/Nightvision contact lenses for a few hundred credits.
They also feature the same sunglasses that the
Hardware: Electrical Genius can make (
see HU Revised 2ed, p125 under the "Some Electronic Gimmicks"). Multi-optic sunglasses! Nice! I think they had a similar item in Cowboy BeBop. I remember Spike zooming in on a bounty during the "monkey virus" ep.
Another handy item is the
Portable Scan Dihilator in
RUE pg264 cheap and versatile "tricorder".
Good stuff !
One word: Nano-tech

For my part I only feel the "induistrial" looking MOE-s appropriate
for RIFTS Earth's postapocalyptic scenario.
Maybe also for the Central Alliance borgs.
The advanced, 3 galactic cyborgs (Repobots, Cyberai, Quatoria,
etc.) do not need to be that crude. For a price...

That would be a very nasty combination!

That is where you need either a great pair of shears or an electric razor. Of course if you want to be cruel you'd use a straight razor.

Wolven are without doubt the best race in Palladium systems and I wish I wish they had their own empire even a small one in Phase World
