"Sun stalker"

This Glitter Boy killer experiment was developed by the Middle Eastern-Russian alliance as a cost effective counter the glitter boy. Using the frame of a Merkava to hunt and kill glitter boys. the theory was that a low to ground target with sufficient firepower could kill a glitter boy. The Merkava was selected because of its long record of service in the Israeli military.

A Russian experimental variant was already in use with the T-42 based frame and had an impressive efficiency rating in simulated combat. At this time the secret Russian and middle east alliance was preparing to expand territory before Nema could take over all the Economic resources of the planet in the name of "Humanity"

there plan was simple..send forces to America via the rout through Canada/Alaska. these "glitterboy" killers would have been the spearhead of the assault under the the command of Major Gregery "sun-stalker" Burloff. He earned his nickname by perfecting the tanks main weapon. The cannon and its ammo were made with special kinetic dispersion rounds that spread armor breaking force to pierce the pilot compartment and internal engineering. As fate would have it he and his forces would never reach there target. story is he did make it to canada..but never to US soil.

Today some Free Quebec Glitterboy pilots still get a feeling as if something is tracking them when they go on patrol...at least a dozen glitterboys have been found with minimum damage and only the pilot compartment pierced with its pilot dead. the only clue to the assailant..the Russian national anthem playing in the pilots radio....

(Rough will edit it later)

Different...definitely different....

This was a great thread why has it died?

Some threads sprint, others are long slow marathons. Some run their course, others await a second wind.
The key to the latter is fresh material and fresh blood to revive interest.

The Woodsman

Rumors have surfaced of a one armed Glitter Boy coming to the aid of towns in need, be it from bandits or drought. Battle damaged armor isn't so uncommon but this armor seems to be made partly of wood. The lower portions of it's legs are huge stumps with bark seeming to fuse to the chrome plating. Vines continue up the torso and dangle from where the severed arm used to be; rumors has it that the most delicious grapes you've ever tasted grow underneath those vines. A portion of the head seems to be crudely carved from wood as does a finger on the remaining hand. Small MD alien bird nest on the shoulders and seem to follow the direction of the pilot, attacking at range and hampering enemy coordination while "The Woodsman" lumbers into close combat. The armor's melee strikes seem to do considerable damage to vampires, demons and supernatural monsters of many kinds. These rumors always include mention of a kindly old woman piloting the behemoth, quick to smile and offer whatever assistance she may to whomever she meets.

"Punchline"
This vintage Glitterboy is rumored to have been acquired by a clan of Ludicrous Mages, or, the other rumor goes, it belonged to a Free Quebec Glitterboy Pilot assigned to help the Coalition against Tolkeen, who was captured and tortured by Ludicrous Mages, and driven insane by them.
Punchline is immediately distinguisnable by its all-over covering of pink polakdots(they don't seem to interfere with its laser reflective properties), and Boom Gun which has been modified with technowizardry to throw a variety of Magic Pies great distance(being Ludicrous Mage-spell Pies, these vary from concrete-creme to thermo-nuclear cherry fillings). Other modifications include spring-extending punching gloves on each hand. Punchline also has an every varying change of accessory clothing put on over its armor; from large loud Hawaiian shirts and shorts, to a set of polka-dot bikini briefs(some who have encountered the GB also shakily speak with fear of the 'strap on').
'Punchline' has been wandering North America as a rogue, with its signature being the utter humiliation of its targets. Nobody knows who pilots it, or what agenda they have, but a number of victims, ranging from the Coalition and Free Quebec, to Tolkeenites and Magic Zone denizens, have been struck, their unonscious or dead bodies often found laying in pools of splattered coconut or lemon cream.
The North American Glitterboy Association(a loose club of Heritage Glitterboy Pilots) has reportedly put out a bounty on 'Punchline', offering a 200,000 credit reward for whoever brings down the 'chrome clown' and 'suitably punishes the person responsible for desecrating the noble machine'.

Oh sweet jeebus! An insane pilot sporting a gigantic mega damage dong of doom.. I'd say he did more than humiliate his targets. Oh the horror.

Yeah, some of the members of NAGA have PERSONAL reasons to want to see this thing destroyed, ideally with the pilot still in it.

'Glitterpants'(aka 'HemiGlitter', 'Legboy')
This is apparently the ghostly lower torso of a Glitterboy said to haunt the hells of Appalachia, and is said to be the remains of an ancient NEMA Glitterbot killed during the coming of the Rifts. By some bizarre curse, the pilot's lower torso, housed in the armor, now wanders looking for the rest of its body. Since that was either eaten or vaporized, the lower torso and legs are going to wander around for a LONG time.
Those who have encountered Glitterpants say that it leaps and runs with the agility of a monkey, and leaves no tracks. It has never seriously attacked anybody, but some hill-tribesmen claim to have been kicked and HARD by the apparition, prior to an attempt to steal their hearts and other internal organs.
The truth is, Glitterpants isn't that ancient, and it's not cursed. A couple of Faerie-Bot Dbees found the wreckage of a Glitterboy and rebuilt what they could, with new power generators in the legs and adapted anti-grav systems to allow it to float along, touching only occasionally on the ground. The Faerie-Bots are using the resulting robot vehicle to go exploring and maybe hunting for the rest of a Glitterboy to salvage and complete the repair job(or provide parts for a revamp....the dbees have some ideas they'd like to try out). They try to avoid trouble, but they were forced to kick(in self-defense) a drunken villager who surprised them while they were raiding his still for scrap metal and parts. The stories have since mushroomed all out of proportion from there, helped along by generous doses of liquor.
