the Sledgehammer

In either of its modes, the Sledgehammer is a one-man mobile missile platform. It can be configured in either a lower, treaded mode for off-road action, or a higher, wheeled mode for use on more level ground. This dark green vehicle has the following capabilities:

C
Gd 10
S
Ty 6 *
B
Rm 30
P
Gd 10

* This listed Speed rating is for the Sledgehammer's default, treaded mode. When utilized in a wheeled fashion, this should be increased by +2 CS, to Excellent (20) rank (75 MPH vs 45 MPH).

Body Armor: the Sledgehammer is built to take a beating. Its small, compact design makes it appear fragile until you take into account the sheer density of the vehicle. It has an effective Body score of Remarkable (30), and offers its occupant Good (10) Protection.

Communications Gear: the Sledgehammer is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system (and dual transceiver antennas). It provides Good (10) transception, with a 25 mile range, that features Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.

Missile Launcher: the Sledgehammer's sole armament in both modes is its rotating, double-barreled missile launcher. Its projectiles inflict the listed damage when fired singly, adding a +1 CS if both are fired at (and hit) their target. They have these characteristics:

C
Ex 20
S
Am 50
B
Ex 20
Damage
Remarkable (30) Edged Attack (fragmentary)

Shape Change: like all BTR vehicles, the Sledgehammer has more than one configuration. It has the same raw capabilities in its treaded and wheeled modes, save for speed; the thing is much faster in its wheeled mode than in its treaded form.
