A cheaper alternative to the Cyberdoll (TS122). The "Stickman"
is slightly less sturdy and much weaker. It's biggest noticeable
difference, however, is the fact that aside from its body form,
the stickman doesn't look remotely human. Of course, this isn't
an important detail if it's used for out-of-the-way jobs like delivering
packages, cooking food, repairing vehicles, etc. Essentially, it
fits into that niche where better human interaction isn't worth
the extra money and the job requires a versatile cybershell larger/stronger
than a Volkspider or Buzzbot, but at a reasonable price.
Martian Refit: A standard upgrade package for cybershells
that have to operate in outdoor Martian environments. Designed to
withstand violent dust storms. Enhancements include special diamond
lenses (immune to sand pitting) and improved armor. Increase DR
to 4 [12] and add Nictating Membrane [10]. 73 points (2080;
$5,400).
