Just out of curiosity how many Glitter Boy variants are there and would you mind listing any along with book and page number so we can compile a list?

I saw what looks like a flying GB and it gave me pause to stop and think "Where the heck is that from?"

Feel free to also use this thread to chat, brag, or otherwise discus customizations that have been made to GB's in your games. Everything from TWing to boomgun modifications, go nuts!

There are about a dozen GB variants in the book. With most of them in the Quebec WB. The other books they are found in are MiO, SA2, Japan, Triax.

Classic Glitterboy (RMB or RUE or FQ)
Glitterboy Mark IV (Mutants in Orbit, Cover) Particle Beam Cannon. 4d6x10+20 MDC !! 2 Mile Range.
Glitterboy Space (Mutants in Orbit) Laser Rifle or standard Boomgun. Can Fly.
GB-7 (South America 2) Gattling Railgun and Tri-Laser Cannon. 2 Shoulder weapons.
Triax Glitterboy (Triax and the NGR)
Hawkeye Glitterboy (Japan)
Point Glitterboy (Japan)
Upgraded Classic FQ Glitterboy (FQ)
Glittergirl (FQ)
Sidekick Glitterboy (FQ)
Tarus Glitterboy (FQ)
Tarantula Glitterboy (FQ)
Silverwolf Glitterboy (FQ)
Fatboy Glitterboy (Triax2)
Glitter-Borg (Triax2)
Chromium Guardsman (Classic GB) (Chaos Earth)
Silver Eagle (Glitter-SAMAS) (Chaos Earth)

I believe that is all of them. If not i'm sure someone will add them soon.

Made an up-armored package for NEMA GB's that was going to be added to all units. on the left shoulder a four shot SRM or 10 shot mini-missile launcher can be mounted. On the underside of each forearm is an Ion blaster, and above each wrist there is a set of vibro claws. Some units feature a neural mace on the left arm (player wanted a N-mace so I allowed that option). In addition the MWAS-90 with an under barrel grenade launcher can also be carried with the power supply connected directly to the GB's reactor.

This turns the GB from a mobile gun unit with a single weapon into a platform that can and will hold it's own in close quarters combat.

Wow! Very Cool!

Excuse me tech (thats EXACTLY what I had hoped for by the way) what book is FQ? I would love to see what a Sidekick Glitterboy is!

So, no new GB models in any Rifters?

Worldbook 22 : Free Quebec

Sidekick is basicly a Terain Hopper PA, made of Glitterboy materials, it uses its Jetpack to Jump-run fast, and to Fly around the battlefied like a bubblebee. It uses a Granade Lancher Shoulder weapon. It provides Support/Air-support for other GBs to keep others away from the FQ-glitterboys.

i have not seen any gbs in the rifters to be honest. i dont have all of them either, so...

The glitterborg is in the official material in Rifter #51 and not in Triax 2. Also, there is a flying GB in Triax 2, the Hells angel.

Looks like I was not too far off considering I don't have Triax 2 nor R51.
I did get all the books right (of the ones I have.)

There is also the Fatboy Glitterboy in Triax 2 with a double-barrelled boom gun.
