I have been tinkering around with this concept for a bit, and thought I would share.
TEX MECHS: BG-J1M
Hit Dice: 30
Frame: Biomorph
Locomotion: Legs (Pair)
Manipulators: Basic Hand
Armor: Duralloy Armor (AC 3)
Sensors: Class IV
Mental Programming: Programming
Controls: Neuro*
Accessories: AV Recorder, Comm unit, Gas Mask, Inertial Inhibitor, Loading unit, Self-repair Unit, Storage Unit (300lbs)
Weaponry: Blaster Rifle (right hand), Maser Rifle (left hand), Fists (10d6). Sometimes handheld weapons.
The BG-J1M is a base Tex-Mechs unit, and has so-far been a stalwart backbone to the Alamo Empire's fighting machine force. Tough, versatile and relatively fast, these mecha have been deployed all over the Empire's borders. Many large monsters and the smaller sorts of Kaiju have come to grief when fighting these units. The BG-J1M is 12 feet tall and weighs 2,400lbs. Pilots in these vehicles are equipped with a weeks emergency rations and cargo space for 300 pounds of personal gear. All units are powered by an atomic battery that probably won't give the pilot cancer.
Neuro* control systems links the mecha directly to the pilot's brain. It works by picking up the electrical impulses from the pilots brain, and so the mecha uses the pilots to-hit bonuses, but uses its own damage. Also, the Pilot can see through the machine's sensors with displays built into the cockpit. The downside of this system, is that damage to the machine could hurt the pilot with a nasty neuro-feedback surge (save vs Stun to avoid taking half damage).
