Triaxtm industries and the NGRtm, after repeated conflicts with the Mindwerkstm enhanced Brodkill and the newly-armed Gargoyle armies, began a series of projects to find a way to make a soldier that could easily compete with the speed and ferocity of the enhanced demons. Some projects researched the re-writing of human dna to create M.D.C.tm humans with supernatural strength, but such work is ever easily done, and is currently still in the research stage. Other projects, with this human advancement in mind, looked to the Juicers of Germany, who already had super reflexes and speed, but lacked the M.D.C.tm or strength of their opponents. Realizing this, the projects began developing a newer, faster power armor that would help the juicers overcome this handicap, giving them M.D.C.tm body armor as well as robotic strength and a few minor weapons. Unfortunately, the lightness of the armor prohibits excessive augmentation, so bonuses are lower than some other robots and power armors. Of course, the juicers themselves make up for this handicap with their own inhuman speed and reflexes. The design of the J-21 is similar to the T-21 or the TC-20 Hopper Power Armors, with some small changes made so that it would be fast enough for the speed-addicted Juicers.

J-21 Power Armor

Crew: One; usually a Juicer
M.D.C.tm by Location:
*Head - 70
Left Arm/Vibro-blade - 80
Right Arm/Forearm Laser - 80
Legs (2) - 100 each
Rear Jet Pack - 50
**Main Body - 200

* The head is -3 to strike due to its small size. Destruction of the main body will destroy the power armor. Destruction of the jet pack prevents power leaping.
** Destroying the main body of the armor renders it inoperative and in need of extensive repairs.
Speed:
Running: Characters running speed is TRIPLED! Average running speed is an incredible 150mph!
Leaping: A height of 50ft upwards or lengthwise is possible unassisted by the thrusters. A thruster assisted leap goes 300ft up or lengthwise without requiring a running start.
Power Jumping and Travelling: Similar to the T-21: up to 450ft length- wise, average height of a controlled power jump generally between 20 and 50ft. Maximum ground speed via power leaps is an amazing 300mph!
Limited Flight: Not possible, the J-21 thrusters are purely for leaping.
Statistical Data:
Height: 8ft
Width: 3.5ft
Length: 3ft
Weight: 130lbs with jet pack
Physical Strength: Equal to a robotic strength of 45.
Cargo: None
Power System: Nuclear, average life is 10 years. The Juicers don't last as long.
Black Market Cost: 1 million for a new, undamaged unit. Poor availibility.

Sensors and Optics:

The helmet is equipped with full optical systems, including laser targeting, telescopic sight, passive nightvision, thermo-imaging, infrared, ultraviolet, and polarization. Also has all other optics common to Power Armor.

Weapon Systems:

Left Arm/Forearm Laser: Mounted on the left arm is a light laser cannon.
Purpose: Assault
Range: 2000ft
Damage: 4d6 M.D.C.tm per blast
Rate of Fire: Equal to the total number of attacks of the pilot.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
Right Arm/Vibro-blade: A favorite weapon of the Juicers who have tried the armor.
Purpose: Assault
Range: Melee
Damage: 4d6 M.D.C.tm slash
Rate of Fire: Equal to the total number of attacks of the pilot.
M.D.C.tm: Unlimited when activated. The Juicer is +1 to parry with the blade, even when parrying energy blasts! (only a Juicer could)
Payload: Effectively unlimited
Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use the blade or laser, the J-21 can use its speed to engage in devastating hand to hand combat!
Restrained Punch - 1d4 M.D.C.tm
Full Strength Punch - 3d6 M.D.C.tm!
Power Punch - 1d6x10 M.D.C.tm (counts as two attacks)
Kick - 4d6 M.D.C.tm
Body Block/Tackle - 2d6 M.D.C.tm
Leap Kick - 6d6 M.D.C.tm (counts as two attacks)
Thruster Kick * - 2d6x10 M.D.C.tm (counts as three attacks)

* The Thruster Kick is done by leaping 10-20 feet in the air, igniting the thrusters, rocketing downward at your opponent, and slamming both feet into their chest. Opponents under 15 ft tall are knocked off their feet, lose one attack, and lose initiative for the next round. This must be the first attack of the Juicer in the round in which it is done.
Other Weapons: The J-21 can also use any hand-held weapons, such as rail guns and plasma ejectors. Standard weapon is the Triax T-42 pulse rifle.

Bonuses: The J-21 does NOT get bonuses from power armor combat elite. It has been stripped down so much for speed that it is more like a glorified body armor. As such, the pilot gets the following natural bonuses with no skill proficiencies. Note that Weapons Systems is required to use any of the weapons.
+2 dodge
+1 to strike
+2 to strike with lasers and blade
+5 to leap dodge (no P.P. bonuses, just +5, but uses no attacks to use)
+2 to parry
+3 to parry with blade
+1 additional attack for Juicers who use this system.
NO ADDITIONAL BONUSES AT HIGHER LEVELS.
