Trikes are more than just three-wheeled cars. Their unusual design design makes them good off-road vehicles, even without specialized equipment. The triangular shape also gives them good arcs of fire. Don't make fun of a trike (or its driver) unless you've got the firepower and armor to spare.
TOMMY GUN
Be careful when approaching a Tommy Gun. The main armament (for which
it is named) can chew an opponent to pieces (even if he has metal armor).
Tommy Gun: X-hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant w/ upgrades, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, 4 linked LMGs w/ explosive ammo (2 R, 2 L), FOJ (B), HrSwc, 10 pts FPCA on cyclist, 4 10-pt wheel hubs, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt wheelguards B, Sloped Armor: F50, B35, R40, L40, T13, U12. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, 4,140 lbs, $23,769.
QUICKMATCH
Though lightly-armed by Division-15 standards, the Quickmatch is still
a dangerous opponent. This trike's small size and sloped armor make it
difficult to hit at any range other than point-blank. The tires are also
heavily-protected.
Quickmatch: Light trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, medium cycle plant w/ SCs, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, ML (R), HrSwc, 10 pts FPCA on cyclist, 10 pts FPCA on power plant, 2 5-pt cycle wheel hubs F, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt wheel hubs B, 2 10-pt wheelguards B, Sloped Armor: F34, B30, R30, L30 T10, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 92.5 mph, 1,920 lbs, $14,343.
JACKALOPE
The Jackalope is an off-road trike designed with defense in mind. This
vehicle's composite armor requires that nothing less than a VMG with HD
ammo or an RR with HESH be used to attack it. On the down side, the Jackalope
has no dropped weapons, making the rear the preferred point of attack.
Jackalope: X-hvy trike w/ CA frame, x-hvy chassis, O/R suspension, 150 CI gas engine w/ VP turbocharger & 5-gallon racing tank, 2 OR solid tires, cyclist, 2 linked HMGs (1 R, 1 L), targeting computer, HD shocks, 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on engine, 1 10-pt FP cycle wheelguard, 2 10-pt FP wheelguards, LR metal/FP plastic Armor: F6/16, B8/16, R8/20, L8/20, T1/20, U1/10. Acceleration: 15, HC: 2 (3 O/R), Top Speed: 92.5 mph, Base MPG: 45, 4,194 lbs, $34,286.
Jackalope "Buck": Change VP turbocharger to regular turbocharger. Sloped Armor: F45, B60, R55, L55, T25, U21. $34,839.
BRANE DAMAGE
The DKI Brane Damage is a moderately-armored Division-15 trike intended
for general road or arena use. Its main weak points are unprotected tires
and very thin top armor.
Brane Damage: Hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant, 3 HD radial cycle tires, cyclist, 2 linked VMGs w/ 10 shots HD ammo each (1 R, 1 L), HDPS (B), Swc, Sloped Armor: F35, B25, R30, L30, T3, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 95 mph, 3,350 lbs, $14,702.
MONGOOSE
The Mongoose is an agile, decently-armored trike intended for mid-range
(Division-15) ice duelling. This vehicle's good acceleration and high top
speed will enable the cyclist to dance around his opponent, taking bites
out of his armor with the side-mounted machineguns. However, the Mongoose
is outclassed against a vehicle with any type of heavy or composite armor.
Mongoose: Medium trike, x-hvy chassis, ice-racing suspension, super trike power plant w/ PCs, 1 light motorcycle skate F, 2 PR motorcycle ice tires B, cyclist, 2 linked MGs (1 R, 1 L), 2 FCDs (1 B, 1 U), Swc, 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on power plant, Sloped Armor: F40, B30, R40, L40, T12, U10. Acceleration: 10, HC: 4, Top Speed: 120 mph, 2,517 lbs, $13,370.
KOBOLD
The Kobold is a Division-5 design named after the vicious little creature
from Germanic legend. This vehicle's small size, sloped armor and high
speed make it almost impossible to hit at any other range than point-blank.
When fighting this trike, shoot the tires. Kobold: Streamlined light
trike, std chassis, hvy suspension, small cycle plant w/ upgrades, 3 HD
cycle tires, cyclist, 2 linked LMGs (1 R, 1 L), 10 pts CA on cyclist, Sloped
Armor: F25, B20, R15, L15, T6, U5. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2, Top Speed: 100
mph, 1,380 lbs, $4,915.
Kobold R: Remove linked LMGs. Add 2 linked MMLs (1 R, 1 L), Swc, 1 FOD (B) & 7 points armor. +$85, -10 lbs.
RAPIER
Centuries ago, gentlemen would fight duels using a thin-bladed sword
called a Rapier.This same lethal efficiency is available today in the Rapier
from DKI/New Omaha. This trike is well armored, and armed with a side-mounted
MG along with a rear-mounted paint spray. The tires are also protected,
especially the vulnerable front tire.
Rapier: Light trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, medium cycle plant w/ SCs, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, MG (R), PS (B), Swc, 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on power plant, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt wheel hubs B, Sloped Armor: F40, B30, R35, L35, T10, U9. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 92.5 mph, 1,920 lbs, $9,024.
SABER
The Saber is designed as a companion vehicle for the Rapier. It has
lighter armor but more powerful weaponry.
Saber: Light trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, medium cycle plant, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, RL (R), FOJ (B), Swc, Sloped Armor: F30, B25, R20, L20, T13, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 100 mph, 1,597 lbs, $8,653.
MONARCH
This vehicle is a well-armed trike produced by HyunDaewoo Tech Systems.
The Monarch's main weaknesses are unprotected tires and no-rear-defense
weaponry except three hot smoke dischargers.
Monarch: X-hvy trike, hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant w/ PCs, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, 4 linked RRs w/ HESH ammo (2 R, 2 L), 3 HsD (1 R, 1 L, 1 B), HrSwc, 10 pts CA on cyclist, Armor: F25, B20, R15, L15, T15, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 90 mph, 3,775 lbs, $19,930.
MONARCH II
The Monarch II is designed to attack other vehicles that have metal
or composite metal/plastic armor, such as the BlastFighter, the Incinerator
Mk-II and the Hades Mk-III. The tires are still unprotected, but the rear-defense
weaponry has more staying power.
Monarch II: X-hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant w/ upgrades, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, 2 linked BCs w/ HESH ammo (1 R, 1 L), SS (B), Swc, Armor: F50, B40, R35, L35, T10, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 90 mph, 4,140 lbs, $24,780.
WAR CLUB
The essence of warfare consists of pounding one's enemy into submission.
The DKI War Club gives this ancient principle a new interpretation. This
vehicle is heavily-armored, and the tires are as well-protected as possible.
The "all-around" aspect of the War Club's weaponry shuts off all avenues
of attack (except straight up) against it.
War Club: Reversed x-hvy trike w/ CA frame, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant w/ upgrades, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, AC (F), 2 laser-guided MMLs (1 R, 1 L), IrTl w/ Lgl in 0-space turret, 2 10-pt wheel hubs F, 2 10-pt wheelguards F, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard B, 2 10-pt cycle wheel hubs B, Sloped Armor: F65, B50, R55, L55, T23, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 90 mph, 4,136 lbs, $39,591.
HOTFOOT
The Hotfoot is another well-armored trike with heavily-protected tires.
It is designed to attack other vehicles where they are the most vulnerable,
namely the tires and the top & bottom armor. The Hotfoot works best
as a member of a team, as its lack of heavy offensive capability leaves
it vulnerable to more heavily-armed designs.
Hotfoot: X-hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant w/ upgrades, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, 2 linked GLs w/ impact-fuzed grenades (1 R, 1 L), FCE (B), Swc, 10 pts FPCA on cyclist, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt cycle wheel hubs F, 2 10-pt wheel hubs B, 2 10-pt wheelguards B, Sloped Armor: F55, B45, R50, L50, T20, U12. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 90 mph, 4,136 lbs, $18,933.
SAPPER
The Sapper is named for its ability to bore through any kind of armor.
Like the Quickmatch, this vehicle's small size and sloped armor make it
a difficult target.
Sapper: Medium trike w/ CA frame, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, large cycle power plant w/ PCs, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, 3 linked LMGs w/ explosive ammo (1 F, 1 R, 1 L), HrSwc, 10 pts FPCA on cyclist, 10 pts FPCA on power plant, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt cycle wheel hubs F, 2 10-pt wheel hubs B, 2 10-pt wheelguards B, Sloped Armor: F40, B40, R30, L30, T9, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 90 mph, 2,519 lbs, $18,849.
RANGER
For duellists who love off-road action, the Ranger is the perfect vehicle.
Armed with a dependable autocannon, this trike can clear a path through
its opponents as easily as it goes through heavy brush. Rear defense is
provided by an SS loaded with hot smoke, spoiling the aim of anyone who
wants to use laser-guided weaponry against this trike.
Ranger: X-hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, O/R suspension, super trike power plant w/ upgrades, 3 PROR cycle tires, cyclist, AC (R), SS w/ hot smoke U, Swc, 8 laser-reactive webs (F, B, R, L, T, all 3 wheelguards), roll cage, safety seat, HD shocks, brushcutter, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt wheelguards B, Sloped Armor: F50, B50, R40, L40, T10, U13. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2 (3 O/R), Top Speed: 90 mph, 4,139 lbs, $24,493.
NIGHTMESSENGER
The NightMessenger is a short-run courier intended for intra-city runs.
It is a model of vehicular design, without a single dollar or pound wasted.
NightMessenger: Light trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, medium cycle plant w/ SCs, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, 2 linked LMGs (1 R, 1 L), FOJ (B), Swc, small mini-safe, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt wheel hubs B, Armor: F35, B25, R30, L30, T14, U12. Acceleration: 5, HC: 3, Top Speed: 92.5 mph, 1,920 lbs, $10,281.
WHAM-BAM
The Wham-Bam is a Division-10 trike from HyunDaewoo Tech Systems. It
is named for the lethal one-shot punch that the linked MFRPs can give.
Follow-up firepower is provided by a front-mounted RR loaded with HESH
ammunition. It is better-armored than most Division-10 trikes. In combat,
try to hit the back or the tires while avoiding the front and the sides.
Wham-Bam: Medium trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, large cycle power plant w/ PCs, 3 PR cycle tires, cyclist, RR w/ HESH ammo F, 2 linked MFRPs w/ AP rockets (1 R, 1 L), HsD (B), targeting computer, Armor: F30, B25, R26, L26, T21, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2, Top Speed: 95 mph, 2,283 lbs, $9,746.
NIGHTHAWK
The Nighthawk is a moderately-armored trike that is a threat to vehicles
with metal armor. The armor is thick enough to survive at least two average
hits from a VMG. Component armor on the cyclist and the power plant substantially
increases the Nighthawk's durability.
Nighthawk: Heavy trike, std chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant, 3 PR cycle tires, cyclist, ATG w/ HESH ammo F, HsD (B), Swc, 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on power plant, Sloped Armor: F25, B20, R17, L17, T16, U11. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2, Top Speed: 110 mph, 2,722 lbs, $9,997.
CAMPUS COMMUTER
In production by a number of manufacturers, the Campus Commuter is
a popular seller where the use of heavily-armed vehicles is discouraged.
The armor is sufficient to protect against attacks from hand weapons and
the front-mounted MG provides accurate return firepower. Even though the
tires are protected, the Campus Commuter is definitely not a road vehicle.
Campus Commuter: Reversed light trike, std chassis, hvy suspension,
medium cycle power plant, 3 HD cycle tires, cyclist, passenger, MG w/ HD
ammo R, Swc, 2 10-pt wheelguards F, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard B, FP Armor:
F12, B10, R12, L12, T6, U8. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2, Top Speed: 97.5 mph,
1,410 lbs, $8,345.
Cargo Capacity: 2 spaces, 190 lbs.
STWS
In addition to its line of low-priced motorcycles, Jontue Motors produces
a number of trikes for the cyclist on a budget. The STWS is a typical example
of these vehicles. It is decently-armored for such a small vehicle, and
the flank-mounted LMG has a huge arc of fire. Unlike the DKI Kobold, the
rear of the STWS is defended by a spikedropper. The survivability of the
STWS in combat is substantially-increased in combat because of the sloped
armor.
STWS: Light trike, Lt chassis, hvy suspension, medium cycle power plant, 3 HD cycle tires, cyclist, LMG (R), SD (B), 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on power plant, Sloped Armor: F25, B20, R22, L22, T5, U5. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2, Top Speed: 105 mph, 1,440 lbs, $4,898.
SHOULDERS
The Shoulders (from Jontue Motors) is a good first trike for the aspiring
off-road duellist. The armor is lighter than on the STWS, although there
is more component armor.
Shoulders: Light trike, std chassis, hvy suspension, small cycle power plant, 3 HDOR cycle tires, cyclist, LMG (L), Swc, 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on power plant, 10 pts CA on LMG, Sloped Armor: F20, B15, R15, L15, T2, U2. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2 (2 O/R), Top Speed: 90 mph, 1,200 lbs, $4,395.
POLECAT
The Polecat is the latest off-road trike from Trinity Motors. It is
admirably-suited to fighting in the woods, because the brushcutter enables
it to plow through the thickest underbrush. A front-mounted AC (with an
extra magazine) and a rear-mounted SD (with explosive spikes) constitutes
the Polecat's offensive ability.
Polecat: Heavy trike, x-hvy chassis, O/R suspension, super cycle
power plant w/ upgrades, 3 PROR cycle tires, cyclist, AC w/ 1 extra magazine
F, SD w/ explosive spikes B, Swc, roll cage, brushcutter, HD brakes, 2
10-pt cycle wheel hubs F, 2 10-pt wheel hubs B, Armor: F30, B20, R25, L25,
T15, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2 (3 O/R), Top Speed: 90 mph, 3,195 lbs,
$18,920.
Cargo Capacity: 2 spaces, 165 lbs.
ROUNDUP
Immediately after the release of the Polecat, the engineers at Trinity
Motors set about designing another off-road trike. The Roundup is the result
of their effort. Unlike the Polecat, the Roundup has room for a gunner,
allowing for all of its weapons to be fired at once. Unfortunately, this
design made room for the gunner by not mounting any dropped weapons.
Roundup: X-hvy trike, hvy chassis, O/R suspension, super trike power plant w/ PCs, 3 PROR cycle tires, driver & gunner, VMG (F), 2 linked MMLs (1 R, 1 L), 2 Swcs, roll cage, brush cutter, 2 5-pt cycle wheel hubs F, 2 5-pt wheel hubs B, Armor: F30, B20, R25, L25, T15, U10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2 (3 O/R), Top Speed: 90 mph, 3,630 lbs, $15,745.
Option: Upgrade chassis to x-hvy, add SCs to power plant, upgrade wheel hubs to 10 points each, add 35 points armor. +360 lbs, +$2,635.
KILLER SHREW
The Killer Shrew is a Division-25 ice duelling vehicle from Trinity
Motors. Its specialized equipment allows the driver to maneuver on ice
as easily as if it were a conventional road. The front-mounted HVMG is
a threat that only the most heavily-armored vehicles can withstand. This
is balanced by the fact that a Killer Shrew's driver has to watch his handling,
as this vehicle doesn't have HD shocks to offset the recoil from the HVMG.
Rear defense is provided by a gas streamer loaded with paint, insuring
that tailgaters will have a tough time seeing their target. In combat,
try for shots against the tires or side armor.
Killer Shrew: Streamlined x-hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, ice-racing suspension, super trike power plant w/ upgrades, 3 solid ice tires, cyclist, HVMG (F), GS (w/ paint loads) B, Swc, 10 pts CA on driver, Sloped Armor: F51, B35, R35, L35, T30, U20. Acceleration: 5, HC: 4, Top Speed: 100 mph, 4,133 lbs, $24,851.
ATTITUDE
The attitude of a cyclist who drives this tough Division-20 Trinity
Motors design is "I'm bad and I don't have to prove it". A powerful weapon,
heavy composite armor and protected tires show that an Attitude's driver
isn't just boasting when he says this.
Attitude: X-hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super trike power plant w/ upgrades, 3 SBPR cycle tires, cyclist, BC w/ HESH ammo F, SD w/ explosive spikes B, Swc, 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on power plant, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt wheelguards B, Sloped Composite Armor: F18/30, B0/40, R0/40, L0/40, T0/15, U0/10. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2, Top Speed: 90 mph, 4,138 lbs, $19,172.
GROUNDSKEEPER
The Cycle Concepts Groundskeeper is an average Division-15 duelling
vehicle. Flank-mounted HMGs and a rear-mounted FCGS close off all avenues
of approach to this trike.
Groundskeeper: Hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, super cycle power plant w/ w/ SCs, 3 PR cycle tires, cyclist, 2 linked HMGs (1 R, 1 L), FCGS (B), PD (B), targeting computer, 10 pts CA on cyclist, 10 pts CA on power plant, 10 pts CA on each HMG, Armor: F35, B35, R42, L42, T8, U8. Acceleration: 5, HC: 2, Top Speed: 90 mph, 3,290 lbs, $14,770.
G-4
The decently-armored G-4 is a Division-25 trike designed to kill enemy
vehicles by destroying their tires and shredding their top armor. This
trike is even more of a threat against motorcycles. The G-4's rear quarter
is undefended. However, a cyclist can remedy this situation by pulling
some type of trailer (typically a G-4T).
G-4: X-hvy trike, x-hvy chassis, hvy suspension, blueprinted
100 CI gas engine w/ tubular headers, VP turbocharger & 5-gallon racing
tank, 3 PR radial cycle tires, cyclist, 4 linked GLs w/ impact-fuzed grenades
(2 R, 2 L), HrSwc, light hitch, 1 10-pt cycle wheelguard F, 2 10-pt wheelhubs
B, Sloped Armor: F45, B40, R45, L45, T15, U10. Acceleration: 10, HC: 3,
Top Speed: 72.5 mph (62.5 mph w/ trailer), Base MPG: 50, 4,180 lbs, $24,428.
