12' beings would be considered giants' date=' yes; 12' [i']robots[/i], on the other

hand, are a tad on the runty side compared to most examples of 'giant' robots

in sci-fi and superhero literature.

While sizing is objective, if my characters saw a 10' Minuteman Robot coming them, they wouldn't stop to think/say "Gosh, that's a small robot."

 

Despite the title of the thread, I believe Checkmate was actually looking to build a battle suit, not a robot. A 12' tall battle suit would be giant, in my opinion. YMMV.

Tsk, tsk, Bubba Smith, this is the internet - we need links, like this:

 

"Check out the thread Villian Gigamax for details."

 

I can't believe you expected us to look for it ourselves.

Similar to how you see quotes, but instead of Quote /quote you use url= /ur

 

It will go: [*url=*http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65873 ]Type what you want here[*/url*]

 

Just don't use any of the asterisks.

 

You can do the same for spoilers:

Okay so I started making a Vehicle out of him, and then I saw the rules. To make sure I understand them, if the Vehicle takes 1 BODY you roll on that chart and I'd lose either my biggest power (READ: My multipower with all my attacks), 10 STR, 5" of movement, or two other equally debilitating penalties? If that's right, Vehicle is not really the best choice for me.

I would only have you lose an attack at a time, myself, but yeah, that's the flip side of the vehicle type battlesuit. It's very cheap, but it comes apart as it's shot up.

 

If you have The Ultimate Vehicle, there are some somewhat more interesting charts for what happens when the vehicle takes a hit.
