NOTE: These Gears are NOT made for Rifts! They are made to be up to par with their own world stats, not to be thrown into some big Maelstrom of Hellspawn and Munchkinism otherwise known as Rifts Earth. Please keep that in mind before bombarding me with emails!
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Brigandier is a Gear excavated from the Ruins of Aveh, around the same time as the Heimdal. It is mainly red, with an eyepatch over one sensor in the head an a feather for decoration. It's a bit bulkier then the average Gear, but still quite manuverable. It's main weapons are built in whips. Overall Brigandier is built for Desert Combat, this being evident with the built in hovering jets adapted for the desert.

2: HEAT RODS/WHIPS: Connected to the wrist are two whip like Heat Rods, retracted into a compartment in the wrist but can be flung out in an instant. Most Gears are trashed when hit only a few times by the Whips.
Primary Purpose: Assault.
Range: Each whip has about a 40ft. range.
Damage: 1 Whip: A slap with a whip does 4D6 MDC. A normal whip slash does 1D4X10 MDC. A Power slash (takes 2 attacks) does 2D4X10+10 MDC. Grabbing a Gears leg and knocking it off it's feet does 2D6 MDC to the Gears leg and has a 60% chance of knocking it down, causing loss of init. and 2 attacks. Entangling a Gears arm does 2D6 MDC to the Gears arm, and grabs on, allowing Brigandier to jerk it around. Whips can also be used to disarm.
2 Whips: (All require 2 attack unless otherwise stated): A slap from both whips does 4D6X2 MDC. 2 Normal whip slashes does 2D4X10 MDC. A twin power slash (requires 3 attacks) does 2D8X10+20 MDC. Grabbing a Gears leg(s) does either 4D6 MDC to one leg or 2D6 MDC to both and has a 80% chance of knocking a Gear of it's feet. Grabbing a Gears arm(s) does either 4D6 MDC to one or 2D6 MDC to each, and allows Brigandier to jerk them around (if both arms are grabbed, then the tangled up Gear is gonna have some trouble attacking with it's arms).
NOTE: Whips are NOT USABLE for parrying.

Payload: Unlimited. The Heat Charge within the whips lasts as long as the Generator is running.
