I've heard of a guy on these boards using ninja turtles, and I've periodically heard of Robotech in Rifts.

I'm curious as to what other goodies gms/players have directed rifts to pull into the setting.

In answer to the O/P subject; "Yes"
Next question.

I've used stuff from the Dyval and Hades books in my Robotech campaign

Beat me to it. Techno-Wizardry is great, but good ol' enchanted gear has its place, too.

The 'concept' of rifts is that it is a crossroads, so Yaaahhh. In fact most of my Rifts chars are classes or races found in the other setting books. This is why Rifters hate my chars, they are ether not Rifts race, or not rifts classes, or they are not Pure Rifts even if I use a rifts class and race.

I have a Alchemical Immortal, who lived through the coming of the rifts and chaos times, from MC who is a Chi Mage who was a DMA.

With regards to OP:
How much of your life are willing to devote to listening while I read down the list?

After the bomb mutant animals. But most come out of lone Star. I've played one that wasn't though. Tripped out dog boys and stuff. "I don't remember any mutant tree kangaroos at Lone star??"

"Right. Cuz ah'm not from Lone Star, mate. I look like a test tube 'roo ta yoo?"

"There's a whole country full of 'em?!"

well, i'm currently playing an 8th level UEEF Veritech Pilot in a rifts game.. robotech VF's can be very powerful in rifts, since stats wise they have as much armor as a rifts unit of the same size, have comparable firepower (or more, with New Gen era stuff because of the massive volleys of missiles you can fire), and unlike rifts bots, they can fly at high speeds and have really impressive combat bonuses. (especially dodging).
taking my VFA-6I into battle with rifts stuff, my main worry is using too many missiles, since those are a limited resource in the game at the moment. (i don't think the GM plans to bring up compatibility issues, but the group doesn't have any SRM's on hand)

in my own games i've not really used stuff from other game lines.. never really had the chance.

LOL That came about three sentences later!! The Mutant Tree Kangaroo didn't know he was on a "Different" earth. And I HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE Rifts Australia. So he (( the mutant tree kangaroo.)) Described "Mutants Down Under" Australia where he was from and the group.. ((Naturally never having been to Australia)) Took it as 'truth' as to what Australia was like. LOL

We've brought Cyclones into the game. One of my fave Palladium things ever. Mmmm the Saber Cyclone. Fave PA ever.

How about going the other way?

I ran a Heroes Unlimited campaign where the main bad guy was an assassin/serial killer/mutant slayer. There were a few deaths before they meet up with the baddie (tech villain named Death From Above, usually referred to as DFA), where they were greeted by the sight of a flying suit of winged power armor with a nice big gun (I described it as a belt red recoilless), black in color, with a skull helmet. It took a little while, but they pieced it together that this guy was a CS soldier in SAMAS armor, and in addition to killing mutants, aliens, mages... pretty much anything with powers... he was framing them as he stole parts for a dimensional teleporter (designed by another tech villain) and framing the supers for it.

lol Ok. Word.

As the only Palladium products I owned/had access to when I had a Rifts campaign going were Robotech and Macross II it shouldn't be hard to guess but I'll tell you anyway ^_^.

Robotech:
-hovertank
-cyclones
-shperesians
-Praxians
and technically only as the group never saw it (we were on the way but suffered a TPK en route)
-a ship
-alphas
-Betas
-other aliens

Macross II
-VF-2SS valkyrie
only technically because the group broke up before getting there
-a (corrected) zentraedi flag ship
-said ship's (corrected) crew and mecha compliments
-zentaedi and human/zentraedi hybrids

I have used Nightbane, Dead Reign, Robotech, Palladium Fantasy (but only core book), Systems Failure, and Ninjas and Superspies in my Rifts games.

I pull stuff from RIFTS and put it into ROBOTECH (post Rain of Death, so it looks like Rifts, smells like Rifts, but it is just extra doom, gloom and magic frosting on my ROBOTECH cake)...so I am somewhat backward.

-STS

Typically I pull stuff from Chaos Earth, Heroes Unlimited, Ninjas and Superspies, Palladium Fantasy, Nightbane, and all their supplements that I own.

I'm working on a game that started out as Marvel SAGA system being converted into HU then they are going to chase a terror cell into Rifts Earth (100 PA).

Stuff from most of the Palladium games has shown up in the Rifts game I play in. Nightbane stuff has shown up, we even ended up going through a dimensional portal to the Nightlands at one point (thanks to a random roll for what dimension we'd end up in). Palladium fantasy stuff shows up, ranging from players playing classes from that system, to taking spells like Fleet Feet, etc... Heroes Unlimited type characters are popular (though built using the Skraypers book, so they are still technically Rifts characters). I don't think we've ran into anything from Robotech, or Splicers yet though. I do like the kitchen sink aspect of Rifts, and clearly our GM does too.

Ironically the answer is not much. The only thing I can really think of is that a member of Bastard Squad is a HU2 Weapon's Hardware.

We've had the "X-Men" modified to HU rules.

Said group also uses the RDF as the 'unifying' point, with an outpost in Center on Phase World. So that allowed a LOT of crossovers, both official PB material, netbooks, and other-stuff modified OCC/RCC.

We've had PF & Robotech characters in a "Rifts" game; as well as Wormwood, and some HU & N&SS. 1 Nightbane iirc.

We've yet to pull Splicers, Dead Reign or AtB into the Rifts campaign.

had a macross 2 carrier crashland in south africa. Wasn't pretty, but we made a town

What haven't I pulled into Rifts!
