Spoiler: CA-4 Standard "Dead Boy" Armor

The standard armor is what ' s worn by most Coalition soldiers, including commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The distinguishing feature on officers' is their symbol of rank and the adornment of spikes on the helmet or a plume of hairlike fibers. High ranking commissioned officers (Captain and up) can elect to wear light or heavy armor instead of the standard. Females who can handle the weight and bulk are also allowed to wear standard "Dead Boy" armor.
Note: Most pilots and soldiers in special divisions of the army typically wear CA-3 light armor or CA-4 standard armor. The only distinguishing difference is the design of their helmet.

Spoiler: Smiling Jack Light Assault SAMAS Powered Armor

New "Smiling Jack" Light Assault SAMAS
The PA-07A Light Assault SAMAS is patterned after the original PA-06A as a low altitude, all environment power armor fighter. Like the PA-06A, the Smiling Jack is fast, tough, reliable and capable of infantry assaults, front line combat, surgical strikes, troop support, seek and destroy, reconnaissance, rescue, espionage and defense. It can fly, hover, make tight turns and is small enough to maneuver through narrow streets and corridors without sacrificing firepower or armor protection.
The armor styling of the Smiling Jack is similar to the new Coalition body armor but is still recognizable as a SAMAS . The helmet has a large one way glass (tough as M.D. steel) that gives the pilot optimum peripheral vision. The lower jaw portion appears to be locked in a smiling position, showing a set of broad flat teeth, hence its nickname, "Smiling Jack." The PA-07A has all the same basic features , weapons and capabilities of the old, Death ' s Head SAMAS . The only difference is its appearance, one large air intake jet above the head, less bulky but equally strong armor, mini-missile launchers built into the wings, and five lower, secondary jet thrusters to give the suit better control and mobility at altitudes above 1,000 feet (305 m).

"Smiling Jack" SAMAS Power Armor
Model Type: PA-07A
Class: Strategic Armor Military Assault Suit
Crew: One
M.D.C. by Location:
* Shoulder Wings (2) - 85 each
* Wing Mini-Missile Launchers (6 total) - 8 each
Main Rear Jets (2) - 60 each
Lower Maneuvering Jets (5) - 25 each
Intake Jet (1; top) - 40
* Ammo Drum (rear) - 35
* Rail Gun - 50
* Hands (2) - 25 each
Arms (2) - 50 each
Legs (2) - 100 each
** Head -70
*** Main Body - 250

* A single asterisk indicates a small -and difficult target to strike, requiring the attacker to make a "called shot," but even then the attacker is -4 to strike .
** Destroying the head of the power armor will eliminate all forms of optical enhancement and sensory systems . The pilot must then rely on his own human vision and senses. No power armor combat bonuses to strike, parry, and dodge!
The head is a small and difficult target to hit, shielded by exhaust tubes and weapon drum. Thus, it can only be hit when a character makes a "called shot" and even then the attacker is -3 to strike.
*** Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will shut the armor down completely, making it useless. Note: Destroying a wing will make flight impossible. However, even with no wing(s), the SAMAS can make jet powered leaps and hover stationary above the ground.

Speed
Running: 60 mph (96 km) maximum. Note that the act of running does tire out its operator, but at 10% of the usual fatigue rate.
Leaping: The powerful robot legs can leap up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high or across unassisted by the thrusters.
A jet thruster assisted leap can propel the unit up to 100 feet (30.5 m) high and 200 feet (61 m) across without actually attaining flight.
Flying: The rocket propulsion system enables the SAMAS to hover stationary up to 1,000 feet (305 m) or fly. Maximum flying speed is 300 mph (480 km), but cruising speed is considered to be 150 mph (240 km). Maximum altitude is 6,000 feet (1829 m; a little over one mile/l .6 km) . Higher than this, high winds and rough weather make flight both erratic and dangerous. The Smiling Jack SAMAS is still too small and light even with the additional thrusters, to safely fly at greater heights. Optimum altitude range is ground level to about 4000 feet (1200 m). Like its predecessor, the Smiling Jack is designed to be a low altitude power armor suit that can hug the ground and slip under enemy radar.
Flying Range: The nuclear power supply gives the SAMAS decades of life but the jet rockets get hot and need to cool after a maximum of 10 hours of continuous flight at speeds above cruising, 24 hours at cruising speed. It can fly indefinitely with rest stops every few hours.
Underwater Capabilities: Swimming: The SAMAS can swim using the same types of paddling leg and arm movements as a human at a maximum speed of roughly four mph (6.4 km/3 .4 knots). It can also walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25% its normal running speed. Using the jet thrusters, the SAMAS can travel on the surface of water at 50 mph (80 km/42 .5 knots), underwater at 40 mph (64 km/34 knots) or fly above the water's surface at nonnal speeds.
Maximum Ocean Depth: 1,000 feet (305 m).

Statistical Data
Height : 8 feet (2.4 m) from head to toe. The top mounted air foil adds another two feet (0.6 m) for an overall height of 10 feet (3 m).
Width: Wings down, 3.5 feet (1.06 m)
Wings extended, 12 feet (3.6 m)
Length: 4 feet 6 inches (1.4 m)
Weight: 500 lbs (225 kg) without the rail gun and ammo drum.
Physical Strength: Equal to a P.S. 30
Cargo: None
Power System : Nuclear, average SAMAS energy life is 20 years .
CS Cost: 1.8 million credits for a new, undamaged, full powered suit complete with rail gun and one full ammo-drum. None have yet fallen into the hands of the Black Market.

Weapon Systems
1. C-40R SAMAS Rail Gun (1): This is standard equipment for the "Smiling Jack" SAMAS. Other heavier rail guns can be substituted. Likewise, the new CTT-M20 missile rifle or CTI-P40 rifle can be used as an over-sized two-handed weapon.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Weight: Gun: 92 lbs (41.4 kg), One SAMAS Ammo-Drum: 190 lbs (85 .5 kg).
Mega-Damage: A Burst is 40 rounds and inflicts 1d4x10 M.D., one round does 1d4 M.D.
Rate of Fire: Equal to number of combined hand to hand attacks (usually 4-6).
Maximum Effective Range: 4,000 feet ( 1 200 m)
Payload: 3,000 round drum, that's 75 bursts. A second drum can be hooked to the undercarriage of the rocket jets, but first the used drum must be manually removed by another SAMAS or character with a strength of 26 or higher before it can be replaced with the new one. Reloading a drum will take about 5 minutes for those not trained, but a mere one minute by somebody trained in the use of SAMAS power armor.

2. SJ-6 Mini-Missile Launchers: Each of the wings have three small, tube mini-missile launchers .
Primary Purpose: Anti-Aircraft
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Missile Type: Any mini-missile can be used, but standard issue is armor piercing (1d4x10 M.D.) or plasma (1d6x10). Fragmentation will be used for anti-personnel operations.
Mega-Damage: Varies with missile type.
Range: Usually about a mile.
Rate of Fire: One at a time or in volleys of two, four or six.
Payload: Six total; three per wing.

3. Energy Rifles: Same as the "Death's Head" SAMAS. The "Smiling Jack" SAMAS is small enough that it can use any of the standard infantry weapons from pistols and vibro-blades to rifles. Or the CTT-M20 missile rifle or CTT-P40 rifle can also be used as an over-sized two-handed weapon.

4. Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use a weapon , the pilot can engage in mega-damage hand to hand combat. See Basic and Elite Power Armor Combat Training on page 351 -352 of Rifts® Ultimate Edition for combat bonuses.

5. Sensor System Note: The SAMAS has full optical systems, including laser targeting, telescopic, passive nightvision (light amplification), thermo-imaging, infrared, ultraviolet, and polarization. Plus all other features common to all power armor.
Sensor Bonuses: The SAMAS gets a bonus of + 1 to strike and + I to dodge in addition to the power armor target bonus and Basic or Elite Power Armor Combat Training bonuses.

Spoiler: Super SAMAS Powered Armor

New Super SAMAS
The PA-09A Super SAMAS is patterned after the original PA-06A and resembles its Light Assault brother, right down to the toothy grin. Nicknamed the "Grinning Demon;" it is a fast, tough, and reliable power armor suitable for all types of combat missions. However, it is also a heavy, high and low altitude, all environment power armor fighter designed specifically as a front-line combat and support unit.
The quad-thruster jets and heavy armor enable it to reach an altitude of three miles (4.8 km) and engage skycycles and light aircraft. In addition to a hand-held weapon (usually a rail gun or other heavy weapon), a pair of high-powered plasma ejectors and light lasers are mounted above the shoulders and mini-fusion grenades can be fired from the forearms. The forearms are also lined with three vibro-blades that are used to rake opponents or clip propellers of combat helicopters as the SAMAS flies bys.
Small thrusters in the back and in the feet help to give the power armor pilot better control and maneuverability. The speed and firepower of the Super SAMAS makes it ideal for engaging slow to medium speed aircraft, hover vehicles, enemy power armor, and flight capable creatures such as dragons, demons and troops magically empowered with the ability to fly.
In dog fights against such enemies, they are virtually unmatched, especially when dispatched in squads of 4-10 members . The only aircraft the Super SAMAS is not well equipped to handle are those that travel faster than sound (Mach One or greater). The heavily armored, fast moving power armor is also an effective weapon against Glitter Boys and tanks - again, especially when a Super SAMAS squad outnumbers the tank or G.B. two to one, or better.
If the Super SAMAS has any combat weakness, it is that, except for the rail gun, its weapon systems are limited to medium range, requiring close-combat dog fighting to be truly effective. Of course, the elite RPA SAMAS pilots (see Rifts® RPG) and RPA "Fly Boys" who pilot them, seem to relish such death-defying combat.

Super SAMAS Power Armor
Nicknames: Include the "Grinning Demon" and "Super-Sam," but it is most frequently called simply, the "Super SAMAS."
Model Type: PA-09A
Class: Strategic Armor Military Assault Suit
Crew: One
M.D.C. by Location :
* Shoulder Wings (2) - 95 each
Main Rear Jets (4) - 100 each
* Lower Maneuvering Jets (3; rear) - 30 each
Twin Air-Intake Jets (2; top) - 100 each
* Ammo Drum (1; hip mounted) - 35
* Rail Gun (1) - 50
CTT -M20 or CTT -P40 rifle (1; instead of rail gun) - 100
Dual Plasma/Laser Guns (2; shoulders) - 40 each
* Forearm Vibro-Blades (6) - 50 each
* Forearm Grenade Launchers (2) - 50 each
* Hands (2) - 45 each
Arms (2) - 1 20 each
Legs (2) - 200 each
** Head - 90
*** Main Body - 425
* A single asterisk indicates a small and difficult target to strike, requiring the attacker to make a "called shot," but even then the attacker is -4 to strike.
** Destroying the head of the power armor will eliminate all forms of optical enhancement and sensory systems. The pilot must then rely on his own human vision and senses. No power armor combat bonuses to initiative, strike, parry, and dodge!
The head is a small and difficult target to hit, shielded by the two large air intake jets and rear jet thrusters. Thus, it can only be hit when an attacker makes a "called shot" and even then he is -5 to strike.
*** Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will shut the armor down completely, making it useless. Note: Destroying a wing will make flight impossible. However, even with no wing(s), the SAMAS can make jet powered leaps and hover stationary above the ground. Destroying one jet thruster reduces speed by 25%.

Speed
Running: 40 mph (64 km) maximum with the flight pack attached, 60 mph (96.5 km) without it. Note that the act of running does tire out its operator, but at 10% of the usual fatigue rate.
Leaping: The fully equipped Super SAMAS is so top heavy that leaps are only possible when assisted by jet thrusters. However, the Super SAMAS can unlock and remove the huge flight pack to which the wings, jet thrusters and plasma/laser guns are attached. This lightens the power armor by 50%! The ammo drum for the rail gun can then be moved up to a modular mount on the back. This detachable flight system was designed so that "downed" flyers weren't stuck with a ton of worthless metal holding them down. It takes two melee rounds (30 seconds) to remove the huge flight pack, but requires 2D4 minutes and the help of two other power armored troops or a crane to reattach it.
Without the flight pack, the powerful legs can leap up to 20 feet (6 m) high or across unassisted by the thrusters. Using the feet thrusters, the SAMAS can leap 40 feet (12.2 m). A jet thruster assisted leap with the flight pack attached can propel the unit up to 200 feet (61 m) high and 300 feet (91.5 m) across without actually attaining flight.
Flying: The rocket propulsion system enables the Super SAMAS to hover stationary in mid-air at any altitude and fly at superior speeds. The armor clad, human missile can attain a maximum flying speed of 500 mph (804.5 km), but cruising speed is considered to be 150-200 mph (240-32 1 .8 km) .
Maximum altitude is 16,000 feet (4876.8 m) or roughly three miles (4. 8 km) . Higher than this, high winds and rough weather make flight both erratic and dangerous. Unlike its predecessor, the Super SAMAS is designed for both high and low altitude operations.
Flying Range: The nuclear power supply gives the SAMAS 20 years of life but the jet rockets get hot and need to cool after a maximum of eight hours of continuous flight at speeds above cruising, 16 hours at cruising speed. It can fly and indefinitely with rest stops every few hours.
Underwater Capabilities: Swimming : The Super SAMAS can swim by using the same types of paddling leg and arm movements as a human at a maximum speed of roughly four mph (6.4 km/3 .4 knots). It can also walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25 % its normal running speed. Using the jet thrusters, the SAMAS can travel on the surface of water at 100 mph (160 km/85 knots), underwater at 70 mph (112.6 km/59.5 knots) or fly above the water's surface at normal speeds.
Maximum Ocean Depth: 3,000 feet (910 m).

Statistical Data
Height: 10 feet (3 m) from head to toe. The top mounted air intake jets add another three feet (0.9 m) for an overall height of 13 feet (3.96 m).
Width: Wings down, 5 feet (1.5 m)
Wings extended, 16 feet (4.87 m)
Length: 6 feet (1.8 m)
Weight: 2.4 tons without the rail gun or other heavy, hand-held weapon. The flight pack weighs 1.2 tons by itself.
Physical Strength: Equal to a P.S. 38.
Cargo: None
Power System: Nuclear, average SAMAS energy life is 20 years .
CS Cost: 5.8 million credits for a new, undamaged, fully powered suit complete with rail gun and one full ammo-drum. None have yet fallen into the hands of the B lack Market.

Weapon Systems
1. SS-09 Dual Plasma & Laser Weapon System: Mounted above and behind the shoulders on the flight pack, is a dual weapon system used for aerial combat and strafing. Each weapon can be operated independently or in synchronization with each other. Both can rotate side to side 180 degrees and can move up and down to provide a 90 degree arc of fire.
Note: If each gun is turned on two different targets, each blast from each weapon counts as one of the pilot's melee attacks and NO initiative or strike bonuses apply to the attack on either one. Furthermore, the plasma gun and laser cannot be fired simultaneously; one or the other must be selected for use.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Aircraft & Anti-Power Armor.
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Armor & Anti-Personnel.
Mega-Damage : Plasma: 1d6x10 M.D. per single blast or 2d6x10 M.D. per dual synchronized blasts from both plasma weapons!
Laser: The small barrel underneath the large gun is a light laser that inflicts 3D6 damage from a single blast or 6D6 M.D. per dual synchronized blast from both laser weapons.
Rate of Fire: Equal to the combined number of attacks of the pilot. Each single or simultaneous double blast at the same target counts as one melee attack.
Effective Range: Plasma: 1,600 feet (488 km) .
Laser: 2,000 feet (610m) .
Payload: Effectively unlimited. The plasma and laser weapons of the dual system are powered by the energy supply of the armor.

2. Forearm Grenade Launchers (2) : The top part of the bulbous forearm housing contains a rapid-fire grenade launcher that fires rifle grenades .
Primary Purpose: Anti-Glitter Boy/Anti-Armor
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Personnel and Defense .
Mega-Damage: The weapon can fire conventional M.D. rifle grenades doing 2d6 M.D. to a blast area of 12 feet (3.6 m), but is typically loaded with the new, microfusion grenades that inflict 6d6 M.D. to a 12 foot (3.6 m) diameter blast area/six foot (1.8 m) radius.
Maximum Effective Range: 1,000 feet (305 km)
Rate of Fire: Equal to the number of hand to hand attacks per melee round either one at a time or in volleys of two, four, six or eight! One volley, regardless of the number of rounds in that volley, counts as one melee attack.
Payload: 80 total; 40 per each arm.

3. Forearm Vibro-Blades (6) : Each of the arms has a set of three large, fin-like vibro-blades. These weapons are used to slash and stab (with a backhand motion) enemy power armor, robots and aircraft. They can also be used to clip the propellers of helicopters or airplanes. This tactic has a 01-45 % chance of breaking the propeller and causing the aircraft to make an emergency landing or crash (the latter if damage is sufficient to destroy the blade). However, a failed roll (46-00) means that the Super SAMAS gets caught by the blade, one of the vibro-blades is tom out of the armor, the SAMAS suffers 2d4x10 M.D. and is slung 2d4x 100 feet away from the aircraft, in any direction.
Mega-Damage: 2D6 M.D. from a single blade, 6D6 M.D. from an attack in which all three blades strike.

4. Energy Rifles or Rail Guns: The Super SAMAS does not have a standard issue hand weapon. Typically, a rail gun or the CTT-M20 missile rifle or CTT-P40 rifle is used as an over-sized two-handed weapon; actually the Super SAMAS can fire the weapon one-handed without penalty. Furthermore, the hands of the SAMAS are small enough that it can use any of the standard infantry rifles or a vibro-blade. However, the Super SAMAS often enters into combat without any additional hand-held weapons.

5. Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use a weapon , the pilot can engage in mega-damage hand to hand combat . See Basic and Elite Power Armor Combat Training on page 351-352 of Rifts® Ultimate Edition for combat bonuses . The basic bonuses and abilities of "Elite" Power Armor Training are the same with the following extra bonuses and increased damage capabilities:
+3 to pull punch.
+2 on initiative
Restrained Punch - 1d4 M.D.
Full Strength Punch - 2d4 M.D.
Power Punch - 3d6 M.D. but counts as two melee attacks.
Tear or Pry with hands: 1d4 M.D.
Kick Attack: 2d6 M.D
Running Leap Kick: 6d6 M.D.! This attack must be used at the beginning of a melee round and uses up all but one melee attack, but inflicts excellent damage.
Body BlocklTackle : 1d6 M.D.
Full Speed Running or flying Ram : 5d6 M.D. This attack uses up three attacks and inflicts 1d4 to the Super SAMAS .

6. Sensor System Note: Same as the other SAMAS .

Spoiler: Sidewinder SAMAS

"Sidewinder" SAMAS
Inside the Area 51 facility were volumes of information on an experimental US Air Force armored unit called the Strategic Armored Military Assault Suit or SAMAS for short. The data that was collected spoke of an advanced series II version called the VT-SAMAS or Vectored Thrust SAMAS. The official Air Force code name for this experimental, secret weapon was Project Sidewinder.
Project Sidewinder was an attempt to upgrade the original SAMAS into an even more versatile combat unit by using a vectored thrust propulsion system. The Sidewinder would also be the test vehicle for a series of upgraded combat systems like the "Big Bang" grenade launcher. In the end, the armored suit was to be the ultimate infantry assault vehicle, something the Coalition States, some 300 years later, would tweak, develop and unleash with perfection. At the time the ley lines erupted, only eight units had been created. Four were assault units and four were designed for "Wild Weasel" roles as anti-electronics and SAM target designation.
Model Type: PA-09-AVT — The Sidewinder
Class: Vectored Thrust Strategic Armor Military Assault Suit
Crew: One pilot
M.D.C. by Location:
Shoulder Wings (2) — 50 each
Shoulder/Wing Mini-Missile Launchers (2) — 60 each
* Main Turbines (2; rear) — 100 each
* Lower Maneuvering Jets (4; rear) — 25 each
* Leg Maneuvering Jets (1 per leg; lower) — 12 each
* Waist Maneuvering Jets (4) — 10 each
* Head—100
* Hands (2) — 25 each
Arms (2) — 60 each
Legs (2) — 100 each
* Forearm Guns (2) — 12 each
** Main Body —230
* A single asterisk indicates extremely small targets to hit and require a called shot at -4 to strike. Hits by missiles will generally damage the main body.
Destruction of the head will most likely kill or blind the pilot and will knock out all forms of communications, sensors, targeting, etc. The pilot must rely on his own human vision and senses; no power armor combat bonuses apply.
Destruction of even one of the main wings will force the unit to crash-land.
Destruction of the maneuvering wings will impart a -1 to dodge penalty for each wing destroyed and reduce speed by 10%.
** Destruction of the main body will destroy the power armor and leave the pilot inside vulnerable — assuming he survived the destruction of the suit.

Speed:
Running: 100 mph (160 km) maximum. This is partly due to the multiple maneuvering jets assisting in the running process. The act of running does tire out its operator, but at 10% of the usual fatigue rate thanks to the robot exoskeleton.
Leaping: The powerful robot legs can leap up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high or across unassisted by the thrusters. A jet thruster assisted leap can propel the unit up to 110 feet (36.5 m) high and 200 feet (61 m) across without actually attaining flight.
Flying: The turbine propulsion system enables the Sidewinder to hover stationary up to 300 feet (91.5 m) or fly. The maximum speed is 250 mph (400 km), with a maximum altitude of 6000 feet (1829 m). Higher than this, strong winds and rough weather make flight both erratic and dangerous. The SAMAS is just too small and light, it was designed to be a low altitude power armor suit that could hug the ground and slip under enemy radar, as well as engage in urban assaults and surgical strikes.
Flying Range: Maximum range is unlimited due to the nuclear power system but the engines need a cool-down period after ten hours of use.
Underwater Capabilities: Swimming: The SAMAS can swim using the same types of paddling leg and arm movements as a human at a maximum speed of roughly four mph (6.4 km/3.4 knots). It can also walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25% its normal running speed. Using the jet thrusters, the SAMAS can travel on the surface of water at 50 mph (80 km/42.5 knots), underwater at 40 mph (64 km/34 knots) or fly above the water's
surface at normal speeds.
Maximum Ocean Depth: 800 feet (224 m).

Statistical Data
Height: 8 feet at the head, 10 feet at the shoulders.
Width: Wings down: 4.3 feet
Wings extended: 10 feet (3 m)
Length: 4 feet, 6 inches (1.4 m)
Weight: 490 Ibs (220.5 kg) without a rail gun.
Physical Strength: Equal to a robot strength of 30.
Cargo: None
Power System: Nuclear; average life of a Sidewinder is 10 years.
Cost: 3.6 million credits for a new or almost new suit with full weapons load. Note: Stolen (and used) CS SAMAS sell for around 1.6 million credits, but are rarely available.

Weapon Systems
1. MML 12 Mini-Missile Launchers: The two boxes on the shoulders are the mini-missile launchers, nicknamed the "Toasters," because they look like four-slice toasters turned sideways and because they "toast" an opponent. Each holds 12 mini-missiles and gives the Sidewinder its punch against
hardened positions and armored units. The missiles are guided by the armor's targeting system and gain an additional +3 to strike. This gives the missiles a total of +6 to strike, making them a very accurate and deadly weapon system.
Primary Purpose: Assault and Anti-Armor.
Secondary Purpose: Air defense and Anti-Missile.
Missile Types: Any type of mini-missile can be used.
Mega-Damage: Varies with missile used.
Rate of Fire: One at a time, or in volleys of 2 or 4.
Maximum Effective Range: Varies with missile used. Usually about a mile (1.6 km).
Payload: 12 missiles in each "toaster" for a total of 24 missiles.

2. Arm Mounted Short-Range Lasers (2): Mounted on each forearm is a small laser, primarily used as anti-personnel weapons.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Mega-Damage: 2D6 M.D. per single blast or 4D6 per simultaneous dual blast from both arm weapons (part of the Sidewinder's special combat system).
Rate of Fire: Equal to the combined number of attacks of the pilot. Each single or simultaneous double blast at the same target counts as one melee attack.
Maximum Effective Range: 1,200 feet (366 m)
Bonuses: Computer targeting, and synchronized firing (for dual, simultaneous blasts from both arm weapons at the same target); +1 to strike.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.

3. Hand-Held Weapons: Any hand-held weapon can be used by the Sidewinder power armor, but the CTT-P40 Particle Beam Cannon Power Armor Weapon and the CTT-M20 Missile Rifle Power Armor Weapon are standard.

4. Hand to Hand Combat: The Sidewinder is very adept in hand to hand combat. Its quick reflexes and high strength give it all of the same damage and bonus capabilities as the standard, old-style "Death's Head" SAMAS, plus +1 on initiative, +1 to parry and +2 to dodge in addition to those normally available to the SAMAS. Power Armor Combat Training: Basic and Elite applies to the Sidewinder and Wild Weasel; see Rifts® RPG, page 45.

5. Sensor Systems of Note: The Sidewinder SAMAS has all the standard sensors of power armors and the Coalition SAMAS.

6. Vectored Thrust System: The Sidewinder's claim to fame is its vectored thrust system which provides greater maneuverability, control, thrust and speed (see bonuses and speed).

7. Penalties: The Sidewinder is a very demanding power armor to fly and control. The abrupt movements and high mobility tend to place many G-forces on the pilot. For this reason the pilot must have a physical endurance of at least 16 and a physical prowess of at least 15 in order to fly the Sidewinder.
The pilot should also be specifically trained in SAMAS Elite piloting skill. Those who are not, don't get the benefit of the special bonuses attributed by this armor, and are -3 to roll with punch, fall or impact.

Spoiler: Wild Weasel SAMAS

Wild Weasel SAMAS
The Wild Weasel version of the Sidewinder was designed to be a one-man infantry electronic-countermeasure and communications unit. Its mission is to work alongside the standard SAMAS (in this case, the Sidewinder) to provide support, battlefield intelligence, anti-missile capabilities and forward observation and targeting. The Sidewinder is slightly faster than the Wild Weasel, but is also slightly less heavily armored. The Wild Weasel has the heavier armor, because it is more likely to be a target. Keeping in mind its role of information gathering and transmission, the Wild Weasel has (comparatively) short-range, plasma ejector forearm blasters with greater damage capability to destroy any missiles that may evade its jamming defense. It also counts on other units to come to its defense, while the Weasel continues to gather and transmit vital combat data and communications.

* Head—110
* Hands (2) — 30 each
Arms (2) — 90 each
Legs (2)—150each
* Forearm Guns (2) — 18 each
** Main Body - 320
* A single asterisk indicates extremely small targets to hit and require a called shot at -4 to strike. Hits by missiles will generally damage the main body.
Destruction of the head will most likely kill or blind the pilot and will knock out all forms of communications, sensors, targeting etc., The pilot must rely on his own human vision and senses; no power armor combat bonuses apply.
Destruction of even one of the main wings will force the unit to crash-land.
Destruction of the maneuvering wings will impart a -1 to dodge penalty for each wing destroyed and reduce speed by 10%.
** Destruction of the main body will destroy the power armor and leave the pilot inside vulnerable — assuming he survived the destruction of the suit.

Speed:
Running: 60 mph (96 km) maximum. This is partly due to the multiple maneuvering jets assisting in the running process. The act of running does tire out its operator, but at 10% of the usual fatigue rate thanks to the robot exoskeleton.
Leaping: The powerful robot legs can leap up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high or across unassisted by the thrusters. A jet thruster assisted leap can propel the unit up to 100 feet (30.5 m) high and 200 feet (61 m) across without actually attaining flight.
Flying: The turbine propulsion system enables the Wild Weasel to hover stationary up to 1000 feet (305 m) or fly. The maximum speed is 220 mph (352 km), with a maximum altitude of 6000 feet (1829 m). Higher than this, strong winds and rough weather make flight both erratic and dangerous. The SAMAS is just too small and light. It was designed to be a low altitude power armor suit that could hug the ground and slip under enemy radar, as well as engage in urban assaults and surgical strikes.
Flying Range: Maximum range is unlimited due to the nuclear power system but the engines need a cool-down period after ten hours of use.
Underwater Capabilities: Swimming: The SAMAS can swim using the same types of paddling leg and arm movements as a human at a maximum speed of roughly four mph (6.4 km/3.4 knots). It can also walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25% its normal running speed. Using the jet thrusters, the SAMAS can travel on the surface of water at 50 mph (80 km/42.5 knots), underwater at 40 mph (64 km/34 knots) or fly above the water's
surface at normal speeds.
Maximum Ocean Depth: 1000 feet (305 m).

Statistical Data
Height: 9 feet (2.7 m) from head to toe. The top mounted air foil adds another two feet (0.6 m) for an overall height of 11 feet (3.3 m).
Width: Wings down: 5.6 feet (1.7 m).
Wings extended: 11 feet (3.3 m)
Length: 5 feet (1.5 m)
Weight: 540 Ibs (243 kg) without a rail gun.
Physical Strength: Equal to a robot strength of 30.
Cargo: None
Power System: Nuclear; average life of a Wild Weasel is 10 years.
Cost: 4.8 million credits for a new or almost new suit with full weapon systems.

Weapon Systems
1. WWECM 6 Black Boxes: These are the boxes located on the shoulders of the Wild Weasel. The designation stands for Wild Weasel Electronic Counter-Measure Suite 6, nicknamed the "Black Boxes." They hold a variety of communications, scrambling, jamming, radar, and targeting gear that allows the Wild Weasel to act as a very advanced forward reconnaissance, tracking, targeting and communications relay unit in the field. The system also has a very advanced and unique anti-missile system that can jam and scramble the sensors of incoming enemy missiles to cause them to miss!
Primary Purpose: Electronic Counter-Measures.
Secondary Purpose: Air defense and Anti-Missile.
Mega Damage: None
Maximum Effective Range: 100 mile (160 km) radius.
Black Box Abilities:
Radar & Computer Tracking System: Range of 100 mile (160 km) radius when above the tree line or 100 feet (30.5 m) in the air, whichever is greater. Can identify and track 144 different targets simultaneously. Sonar for underwater use is limited to 30 mile (48 km) range.
Directional, narrow and wide band radio & laser communication: Can send and receive messages on broad or narrow bands of frequencies and send precision laser beam communications.
Radio Scrambler and Encryption System: Scrambles and unscrambles incoming and outgoing messages, decodes encrypted messages, as well as records and stores transmissions of other frequencies/channels and unscrambles them (and respond or transmit) at a later time.
Targeting Uplink: The Wild Weasel can uplink data to as many as 24 Sidewinder SAMAS or aircraft or ground troops within 50 miles (80 km). In this capacity, the Wild Weasel can be used as a forward observer and/or communications/data relay unit. All units receiving this data are +1 on initiative and +1 to dodge.
Full Jamming Suite: The Jammers can interfere with and garble any enemy communication transmissions with a 01-65% success rate. Successful jamming means the enemy transmission is nothing but white noise; completely unintelligible. A failed roll, 66-00, means the transmission successfully escapes the interference of the Wild Weasel, but while it is discernible, it is not the cleanest message and is still filled with interference. In order to jam incoming missiles, the pilot must roll under his weapon systems skill (or electronic countermeasures). A successful roll means the targeting system (and/or radio control signals and scanners) of all missiles directed at him, or in his path, are scrambled, causing the missiles to veer off target;
effectively -7 to strike. Roll for each missile in the volley. In the alternative, the Wild Weasel can send a direct, laser signal to one or two missiles within a 2000 foot (610 m) range, whether directed at him or another target entirely, and scramble their targeting to make them veer off target: -9 to hit their intended target. Note that this jamming ability applies to "smart bombs" as well as mini-missiles and other types of guided missiles. The jamming defense disables the missile's tracking, guidance and motor systems, it does not enable the Wild Weasel to seize control and direct the missiles to a new or different target.
Special Bonuses for the Wild Weasel: +3 on initiative, +1 to strike and parry, +2 to dodge, +1 to roll with punch, fall or impact, and +1 to pull punch. All are in addition to other bonuses and power armor combat training.
Skill Note: In order to operate the WW jamming systems the pilot must have the skills: basic electronics, weapon systems, read: sensory instruments and radio scrambler or electronic counter-measures. Whenever the system is used, an applicable roll must be made. Usually at -10% because of the hectic nature of combat.

2. Chaff-Flare Decoy: The Wild Weasel can also fire flares with packets that release clouds of smoke and floating particles to lure missiles to them.
Payload: Chaff-flare dispenser: 24
Note: Each chaff-flare dispenser has a 15% chance per packet fired to decoy incoming enemy missiles, with culmutative effect (i.e. 3 chaff-flares equals 45% chance of decoying missiles, 6 = 90%, etc.)

3. Arm Mounted Short-Range Plasma Ejectors (2): Mounted on each forearm is a small laser, primarily used as antipersonnel weapons.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Missile and Anti-Armor
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
Mega-Damage: 4D6 M.D. per single blast or 8D6 per simultaneous dual blast from both arm weapons (part of the Wild Weasel's special combat system allows for synchronized targeting).
Rate of Fire: Equal to the combined number of attacks of the pilot. Each single or simultaneous double blast at the same target counts as one melee attack.
Maximum Effective Range: 1,000 feet (305 m).
Bonuses: Computer targeting, and synchronized firing (for dual, simultaneous blasts from both arm weapons at the same target); +1 to strike.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.

4. Hand-Held Weapons: Any hand-held weapon can be used by the Wild Weasel, but the CTT-P40 Particle Beam Cannon Power Armor Weapon and the CTT-M20 Missile Rifle Power Armor Weapon are standard.

5. Hand to Hand Combat: The Wild Weasel is very adept in hand to hand combat. Its quick reflexes and high strength give it all the same damage and bonus capabilities as the standard, old-style "Death's Head" SAMAS, plus +1 on initiative and +1 to dodge in addition to those normally available to the SAMAS. Power Armor Combat Training: Basic and Elite applies to the Sidewinder and Wild Weasel; see Rifts® RPG, page 45.

6. Sensor Systems of Note: The Wild Weasel SAMAS has all the standard sensors of power armors and the Coalition SAMAS, plus those mentioned previously.

7. Vectored Thrust System: The Wild Weasel has vectored thrust which provides greater maneuverability, control, thrust and speed (see bonuses and speed).

8. Penalties: The Wild Weasel is a very demanding power armor to fly and control. The abrupt movements and high mobility tend to place many G-forces on the pilot. For this reason, the pilot must have a physical endurance of at least 16 and a physical prowess of at least 15 in order to fly it. The pilot should also be specifically trained in SAMAS Elite piloting skill. Those who are not, don't get the benefit of the special bonuses attributed by this armor, and are -3 to roll with punch, fall or impact.

CV-212 Variable Light Frequency Laser Rifle.
Introduced in 102 P.A. it remains a popular "anti-Glitter Boy" weapon, though mostly used by Military Specialists and other special forces. The CV-212 is designed to overcome laser resistant armor. A microchip in the weapon's computer will automatically analyze an opponents armor (if not already preprogrammed into its memory) and after one melee round (half damage) will adjust to the light frequency that will inflict full damage. It is a sturdy and reliable rifle that can survive a fair amount of combat abuse without jamming. However, M.D.C. damage is likely (80% chance) to disengage the computer analyzer and frequency adjustments must be made manually (takes 1d4 melee rounds to find the optimum frequency). The rifle can also be set to fire in a single shot or a burst of three. Comes standard with a passive nightvision scope and laser targeting.
Weight: 8 Ibs (3.6 kg).
Mega-Damage: Setting One : 2d6 M.D. single shot, Setting Two (Burst): 6d6 M.D. and a Setting Three (S.D.C.): 6d6 S.D.C.

CTT-M20 Missile Rifle Power Armor Weapon
The CTT-M20 Missile Rifle is an over-sized heavy weapon that's about twice the size of the typical energy rifle. It was specifically designed for the Terror Trooper Power Armor, but has been adopted by SAMAS pilots, full conversion 'Borgs and the occasional CS Juicer (Crazies would love ' em too; need two hands and a P.S. of 24 or better to use the weapon effectively). The CTT-M20 is standard issue for the Terror Trooper, although the CTT-P40 or a rail gun can be substituted.
This weapons houses a row of mini-missiles down each of its long, twin barrels. Each pull of the trigger fires one mini-missile. Remember, mini-missiles are self-guided, so once launched they will find their target. Mounted on the top of the rifle is a box that is both a laser targeting system and medium range laser.
Weight: 110 pounds (49.5 kg) fully loaded; roughly 30 pounds (13. 6 kg) less unloaded.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Armor/Anti-Aircraft

Armor Piercing Cannon
Experimental Rail Gun
This is an experimental light anti-tank weapon (LAW) that utilizes miniaturized magnetic rail gun technology. It does impressive damage, but the armor piercing tungsten darts it fires are hard to find. However, a competent weapons engineer can manufacture them if he has a supply of tungsten and other more common metals, as long as they are ferrous (iron), but damage is half for substitute metal. While this weapon is usually mounted on a vehicle or as part of a fortification, it can be used as a large, hand-held weapon by power armor and cyborgs. Only humans with a P.S. of 25 or greater can fire the weapon without penalty, but even they feel the kick. Anyone with a P.S. less than 25 is -4 to strike unless it is braced on a hard surface like a brick wall, or used from a prone position (the weapon comes with a bipod), or mounted to a vehicle or fortified position like a machine-gun.
