Shadow Metal Siren
The Metal Siren is a marvel of versatility and destructive power. Two powerful gravity guns
are stowed on each wing and can be fired in all three configurations. Heavy pulse plasma
cannons are mounted over the shoulders in soldier configuration and just behind the cockpit
in gerwalk. A set of high intensity lasers are located on each hip in soldier and gerwalk
configurations and the forward undercarriage in the gerwalk and jet configurations. The
"big" gun is the powerful plasma spear which can fire a plasma bolt or be used as a
mega-damage stabbing and striking weapon. As if this were not enough, the Metal Siren is
bristling with missiles located in the chest, hips, and lower legs of the fighter and
additional body armor!
Vehicle Type: XVF-1MS Shadow Metal Siren
Class: Valkyrie III: Space Fighter (transformable)
Intelligence: Neural

*All items marked with a single asterisk means they are small and/or
difficult to strike. An opponent must make a called shot to strike these areas and even then
suffers a penalty of -2 to strike.
Destroying the head will destroy all forms of optical enhancements. The range and
targeting capabilities of radar and all other sensor (non-optical) are reduced by half. The
head is a difficult target to strike: an attacker is -3 to strike even when a called shot is
made and -5 to strike when the protective head shield is in place.
**Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will shut the mecha down completely,
making it useless. Note: Destroying a wing will make flight in an atmosphere
impossible; in space reduce the dodge bonus by two points.
***Depleting the M.D.C. of the "Brain" will destroy the Shadow Metal Siren.
Note: To hit the brain you must first deplete the M.D.C. of the main body.
Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will cause the brain to eject out of the Shadow Metal Siren.
****Depleting the M.D.C. of the Cross dimensional Device will make dimensional
travel impossible. Note: To hit it the M.D.C. of the main body must be
depleted first.

made in another dimension.
Sensors and Equipment:
- Shadow Cloaking Device:
The cloaking device hides the veritech from enemy radar, protoculture sensors/targeting,
and scrambles all other detection methods such as microwaves and lasers.
Only conventional optical systems and the opponent's own vision can be
used to see the veritech. Consequently, the Omega on a target completely
undetected by radar or other sensor. It is only when they come into visual
range that they can be detected. Note:
Unless somebody sees the Omega coming, the Omega always has the initiative (strikes
first) for the first melee round. After that, everybody rolls initiative each melee
of combat.
- Radar (improved): Range 5,000 miles (200,000
miles in space); can track up to 600 targets simultaneously. The radar
is constructed into the skin of the omega. This allows the omega to
take a 360° image in a few seconds. The radar has three modes:
off, stealth, and on. In Stealth mode the radar will only stay on
long enough to take a complete image of the surrounding area and then
turn off. The system is designed to vary the time between the scans
so that a pattern does not appear to the enemies detectors.
- Gravity Wave sensor: This system can detect
ships as far away as 200,000 miles if they are in normal space. Ships
using a gravity or P-Drive make disturbances in the normal space-time
continuum which can be detected from as far as 10 light years.
- Radar Signal Detector: A tiny radar receiver
which will alert the omega when he is being scanned by radar. 85%
accuracy.
- Radio/Video Communications: Wide band and
directional, radio and video telecast capabilities. Range is 20,000
miles or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
- Laser Communications: Long range, directional,
communication system. Effective Range: 250,000 miles.
- Targeting Sight & Combat Computer: Calculates,
stores and transmits data onto the cockpit computer screen or Head Up
Display (H.U.D.). Patches in with targeting computer. Combat Computer
has over 4 billion robots, vehicles, uniforms, insignias, & monsters
(96% chance of identifying something). Up to 5 billion more can be added.
- Laser Targeting System: Range: 150 miles.
- Motion Detector & Collision Warning System:
Close range: 200 ft; sounds alarm and red light warns the omega of
impending collision and/or immediate target.
- Head Spotlights: Range: 1000 ft
- Loudspeaker: Can amplify the pilot's voice up
to 90 decibels.
- Self Destruct: A last ditch effort to prevent
the capture of the Omega (usually preceded by the Intelligence ejection
from the veritech) is self destruction. Explosive damage is fairly
contained. Without missiles (or few) does 2D6x10 M.D., but with all
or most of its missiles (60) will do 3D6x100 M.D. to a 50 ft radius.
Triple damage to the omega. Note: If any AP-clips
are present they will explode adding to the damage sustained. If the standard five
are present then the damage is 10D20x2500+500 M.D. to a 1000 ft radius.
(25500-500500 M.D.)
- Underwater Capabilities: All internal mechanisms,
joints and access panels are sealed and waterproofed. The entire physical
structure is conditioned for water pressure and stress, as well as
maneuvering jets installed. Maximum Depth Unknown presumably limitless.
- Radiation Shielding: Special Shielding prevents
the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. The shields are so strong that they can survive a supernova.
- Provisions Storage: 100 gallons of water and an
airtight compartment with 52 weeks of MRE's.
- Recycling Plant (type two): This system recycles
everything (ex: oxygen & purifies the air). With this system running the duration the omega can sustain a crew
is extended to 5 years before needing to put into a port.
- Hardened Circuits: The Omega's systems have been
hardened to withstand the effects of scramblers, EMP's, electrical blasts and similar attacks. No damage is taken.
- Advanced Robot Optic System: Color vision, 3-D
analysis, passive nightsight, infrared, ultraviolet sight. Range: 20,000 ft.
- Nightvision Optics: Range: 3000 ft. An image
intensifier that is passive and relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to give a visible
picture. Nightvision can not work in absolute darkness.
- Telescopic Optical Enhancement: Range:40,000 ft.
Field of vision: 100 ft.
- Thermo-Imager: Range: 20,000 ft. A special
optical heat sensory unit that allows the infrared radiation of warm
objects to be converted into a visible image. It also enables the
omega to see in darkness, shadow and through smoke.
- Advanced Audio System: Amplified stereo hearing;
hears in the full decibel range. Ultra-ear enables the omega to hear frequencies inaudible to the human ear.
- Modulating Voice Synthesizer & Sound Analysis Computer:
Enables the omega to change the tone, base, pitch and frequency of his voice. The sound analysis computer is designed
exclusively to listen, identify, remember, and analyze sounds. 2 billion different sounds are programmed into its
memory, including gun shots by caliber, engines, and other sounds. It also has the capability to analyze, compare,
match and remember 5 million new sounds; 98% likelihood of identifying a person by voice pattern. Can imitate
another person's voice with 95% accuracy.
- Inaudible Frequency Transmission: The omega can
speak/transmit sound frequencies inaudible to the human ear, but audible to other robots, borgs with ultra-ear,
and beings with superior hearing, such as mutant dogs.
- Bug Detector: A small device that picks up radio
signals from surveillance listening devices. Range: 700 ft.
- External Audio Pickup: Sound amplification
listening system. Range: 1500 ft.
- External Video and Audio Surveillance System: A
high-resolution video camera, relays images directly to the Omega's optic scanners and these images can be recorded
as a record of events. A video receiver and transmitter system enables the omega to receive video transmissions for
viewing and recording. The images are recorded on a six hour, three inch, video disc that is slipped into a slot in
the cockpit.
- Bio-Scan Medical Survey Unit: A computer system
designed to monitor the life signs of biological life forms. Sensors are built into the cockpit of the omega.
Monitors vital signs, such as respiration, blood pressure, brain waves, and body temperature. A computerized medical
system tied into the Bio-Scan computer will indicate trauma to the brain and nervous system, blood loss, presence of
drugs or other unnatural agent in the blood stream, and coma condition.
- Chemical Analysis System: A fully automated
computer analysis system that can do complete chemical analysis of blood, drugs, liquids, and gases within 2D4 melees
(45 to 120 seconds). Over 2 million chemicals are preserved in its memory with room for 8 million additions.
Likelihood of a full, exact analysis is 95%. A failed roll means it can not identify the substance.
- Time Machine: A moving time machine. Once set it
transports the Omega across Time. It can still only access neighboring Twists or Cycles. Recharge Time: 20 minutes.
Maximum Area of Effect: A radius of up to 40 feet.
- Micro-Twist Time Travel Locator: This device
works with the time machine letting it 'jump' inside the Twists of the time stream. This allows access to periods
closer than 125 year apart. This is only possible along the special spiraling whorls of the temporal fabric that
corkscrew between the twists. Although the whorls are basically random, they tend to allow for 7, 49, 57 and 89
year increments. Note: After the "jump" when the time machine is
reengaged it will automatically return to the time zone it came from.
- Cross-Dimensional Device: A moving dimensional
traveling device. Once set, it teleports the Omega to a Cross-Dimensional location. Recharge Time: Requires about
fifteen minutes to recharge and recalibrate for another dimensional locus. Maximum Area of Effect: A radius of up
to 75 feet.
- Cross-Dimensional Disturbance Detector: A very
sensitive device, it simply scans for the presence of active Cross-Dimensional devices and homes in on their signal.
Useful for following other Cross-Dimensional Travelers, or for locating new and interesting dimensions. Also picks up
the signals of nearby Cross-Dimensional Signal Beacons. (+20% chance when jumping directly to an emitting
Detector signal, +5% to a signal that has been recorded but has faded away.
- Absolute Referent Device: Based on the measurement
of temporal energy. All measurements are given in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and
nanoseconds, relative to the "home time". (+10 to success)
- Temporal Energy Sensor: This device is used for
checking the T.E. of any object or area. Automatically reads out the local temporal energy, with an estimate of the
time relative to the Omega's starting place. Also can pick up the T.E. of any object within 40 feet. It will indicate
whether the item or creature is native to the area, or whether it comes from the past or future.(+15%)
- Dimensional Continuum Measurement and Recording Device:
This device is used for recording the relative coordinates of Cross-Dimensional locations. It's designed to record
the changes that take place over any Cross-Dimensional Hop. Up to 1,000 transits can be recorded directly on the
Dee-Cee-Dee, and it comes with recording chips that can be used for storing additional recording and for transferring
recordings to other Dee-Cee-Dees. (+15% to success)
- Cross-Dimensional Signal Beacon: Designed to
"mark" various dimensions by emitting strong Cross-Dimensional signals.
The device can be set to broadcast continuously so that anyone can pick
it up, or to be transmitting on a select coded band. If coded, the
Detector must be tuned to the specific code in order to get a strong
signal.
- Quantum Differential Device: By far the most
accurate and precise of all temporal measurement instruments. This
works by calibrating the quantum "positions" of the electrons around
a hydrogen atom. Since this changes exactly as all matter moves away
from its moment of creation, it is useful for determining the exact
moment anywhere in the universe. (adds +20% to success)
- Temporal Energy Stoper: This device is designed
to prevent the Omega from being effected by the ravages of Temporal
Energy distortion caused by extreme travel to the far reaches of time.
The Omega is completely impervious to T.E. change. Because of the
importance of this device it is quintuply redundant.
- Trans-Location Manipulator: This device allows
the Omega to specify an exact unigraphical destination when used with
Cross-Dimensional or Time travel. Roll under Cross-Dimensional Piloting
& Navigation or Temporal navigation/Time Detection Equipment skill
without any educational or I.Q. bonuses to achieve a successful
trans-location.

Weapon Systems:
- XVF-1MS Force Field: The marvel of the barrier
is that it is continually renewed every melee. Thus, if the barrier took 11,000
M.D. of damage, it is restored to its full 12,000 M.D.C. fourteen (14)
seconds later. If completely destroyed, the barrier will rematerialize
within fourteen seconds.
Primary Purpose: Defense
Range: All around the Metal Siren.
Mega-Damage: Inflicts none, but can sustain
12,000 M.D. every melee.
Payload: Nearly Inexhaustible.
- Rapid-Fire HI-Laser Cannons (2): These
powerful HI-Lasers are mounted behind the shoulders on either side of the head when
in battolid mode, but located behind and above the cockpit when in gaurdin and jet
mode. They can be fired in any configuration, but are fixed in a forwared position
in the gaurdin and jet modes. Only in battloid mode can the lasers rotate 360
degrees and point up and down in a 45 degree arc. Each can be operated
individually or in tandem with the other.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Anti-missile/Anti-fighter
Range: 8 miles in an atmosphere, but 26 miles in space.
Mega-Damage: 2D6x100 M.D. per single blast,
or 4D6x100 M.D. per dual blast fired from both simultaneously at a single target.
Rate of Fire: Equal to the total number of hand
to hand attacks of the pilot.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
- MSGR-2 Auto-cannons (2): A short range gravity
auto-cannon is mounted on each side of the hips when battloid mode and fixed forwared on
the undercarriage when in gaurdian and jet modes. The auto-cannons can rotate up and down
90 degrees in battloid mode and can angle to the right or left up to 45 degrees.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Range: 9 miles in an atmosphere, and 26 miles in space.
Mega-Damage: A single burst fires 10 rounds and
does 6D6x10 M.D. Can only fire bursts.

to hand attacks of the pilot.
Payload: 10,000 round drum clip providing 1000
bursts per cannon.
- Short Range Mini-Missile Launchers (12): The
entire Shadow Metal Siren seems to conceal missiles! All can be accessed and launched
while in battloid mode but only the 26 leg missiles can be launched when in gaurdin and
jet modes. The most destructive missile types are its usual payload.
Primary Purpose: Assault; anti-space fighter
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Range: Varies with missile type, but typically
four miles. Double in space.
Mega-Damage: Varies with missile type; any
mini-missile can be used. Plasma or armor piercing are typical and inflict 2D6x10 M.D.
per missile
Rate of Fire: One at a time or in volleys of
two, three, four, six or nine. One volley counts as one melee attack regardless of the
number of missiles fired.
Payload: 108 total!
18 in each shoulder (26 total).
8 in each side of the chest (16 total).
12 in each hip (24 total).
26 in each lower leg (42 total).
- MS-60 Particle Bean Cannons (2): One of these
rifle-like gun pods is mounted on each wing of the Metal Siren. When mounted on the
wings they can rotate or swivel 90 degrees to the left or right. When in battloid mode,
one or both of the cannons can be removed from the wings and used like a handheld
weapon. The MS-60 is also designed so that one can be fitted into the plasma spear,
enabling the pilot to hold and fire the plasma spear and an MS-60 in one hand and use
another MS-60 (or other weapon) in the other.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Weight: 400 pounds
Range: 6 miles in an atmosphere, 70 miles in space.
Mega-Damage: 1D6x1000 M.D. per single blast.
Rate of Fire: The weapon can fire a single blast
per melee action or release a short burts of five rapid-fire blasts
Payload: When mounted to the wing the cannons draw
upon the Metal Siren internal energy supply giving effectivly unlimited shots. But when
disconnected from the Metal Siren the cannons relay upon their own internal energy clips
giving each 80 individual shorts or 20 bursts.
- Plasma Spear (1): This powerful cannon fires a
bolt of fiery plasma. It is handheld when in battloid or gaurdin modes or mounted on the
nose when in jet mode. In the latter case, the plasma spear is fixed forwared.
Primary Purpose: Assault; anti-space fighter
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Range: 6 miles in an atmosphere, 120 miles in space..
Mega-Damage: 5D6x10 M.D. per single blast!
6D6 M.D. using the spear as a stabbing weapon or 3D6 M.D. from blunt strikes with the
side of the spear.
Rate of Fire: The plasma spear can be fired
twice per melee round (every 15 seconds) and can be combined with other actions/attacks
per melee.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
- Other Weapons: Any hand held weapon can be
used if needed. Must be to the scale of robots or power armor.
- Optional Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use
a weapon the Metal Siren can engage in mega-damage hand toohand combat.
Note: The Metal Siren is extremely agile when in
battloid mode and can execute any hand to hand combat move, such as punhces, jump kicks,
leap attacks, rool with impact, etc., that the pilot would care to attempt.
