ROAD ROVER ARMS:
Please note that
some of the arms names have been provided by Steven Today since
Warner Brothers never disclosed their real names.
WEAPONS AND
EQUIPMENT:
---------------------------------------------
SONIC RIFLE: A portable version of the
Sonic Cannon, the Sonic Rifle can fire sonic blasts at particular
targets. It has five different power levels, from stun to kill.
This weapon is one of the standard issued weapons of the EDF and is the standard
sidearm used by Striker.
COLT REVOLVER:
The Colt Revolver owned by Striker is a Colt Peacemaker (or Colt .45) that
originally was handed down from his great grandfather when was traveling the
United States. Striker has since kept the revolver as a memento of his slain
family. He always keeps it with him as a backup firearm and is very accurate
when shooting it. While it mostly fires rounds purchased from the Colt's
Manufacturing Company, it sometimes fires custom rounds requested by Striker.
PLASMA RIFLE: The Plasma Rifle fires a
ball of plasma at a target. The power of this is offset by its
slow reload. The power of the plasma shot, however, can be used
against infantry with good effect, but is most effective against
larger, more powerful weaponry.
EMP JAMMER: This small device, built
by Alexander Illanov, sends out a electro-magnetic signal that
disables all electronic weaponry, whether it be allied or enemy
weaponry, and rendering it unable to fire.
LASER MAGNUM: A significant upgrade to
the .386 magnum, the LM fires a small laser at its target. Though
good against infantry, this weapon is useless against heavier
weaponry.
WING ROVER: The Wing Rover is a
jetpack vehicle that can be used by an individual subject to gain
a massive maneuverability advantage over the enemy. It's only equal
is the KH Military Jump Troopers.
TRANSDOGMAFIER: This large piece of
equipment is what the Master uses to transform canines, felines
and wolfs into cano-, felo- or wolf-sapiens. The process also
gives the transformed subject unique super powers and very high
endurance.
ROVER SATELLITE: This is a highly advanced
orbital satellite that can identify objects the size of a vase
from very high distances. The Road Rovers use this ability to
keep check of enemy forces as well as providing communications.
However, it's dog-like shape makes it an easily identifiable
target for ASAT (anti-satellite) missiles.
COLLAR TRACKING UNIT (CTU): The CTU is a standard
issue collar but has a small tracking device in it so the Rovers
can track down the wearer electronically, in particular missing
operatives.
ELECTRONIC LOCK PICKER
(ELP): The
ELP is used by Exile during infiltration and sabotage mission to
dismantle electronic locks and to open doors.
PETRI PISTOL: The Petri Pistol is the
standard issue weapon for all Strayer units, including the
Grizzlies. It fires energy blots that, instead of harming the
target, paralyzes it. The target is only able to breathe when in
this state and thus the Petri Pistol is the perfect weapon for
capturing criminals. (submitted by Steven Today)
PETRI RIFLE: An upgraded version of the
Petri Pistol, the rifles fires a more powerful energy shot with a
wider radius of effect, but has a slower rate of fire. (submitted
by Steven Today)
PLASCASTER PISTOL MK4: Captain Shadow standard
sidearm, it is still considered in its experimental stages. The
gun is capable of shooting either a piercing beam of emerald
energy (that can pierce through multiple layers of thick
titanium) or a three shot burst of green energy bolts (that are
rapid fire but not as powerful). The PlasCaster is slightly
larger than a Beretta pistol, and also looks similar to it,
except where the casing ejector would be is a rectangle pod that
glows a greenish color with a lighter shade of green waves
flowing inside it. (submitted by Richard Barrere)
FLASH ORBS: Small, metal, marble sized
orbs that flash with a blinding light after thrown. Primarily
used to stun opponent when being chased or followed, the flash is
so bright it can cause permanent blindness if the stunning effect
goes untreated. (submitted by Richard Barrere)
EMP GRENADES: Small, thin rectangular
grenade. The EMP Grenade has a transparent center, which has a
single blue spark moving around inside it. Unlike EMP Inhibitors,
which lose their effect after being turned off, EMP Grenades
permanently deactivate any electronic system caught within its ten
foot blast radius. (submitted by Richard Barrere)
MINICROSSBOW: A small wrist-mounted
crossbow that accepts multiple kinds of ammunition, including
standard armor piercing darts, poison darts, tranquilizer darts,
'flashbang' darts, and high explosive darts. It can fold into
itself and will be extremely small for ease of carrying and has a
writs trigger and voice activated, auto loading clips. (submitted
by Richard Barrere)
THE DARK BLADE: This twin edged straight
bladed sword is Captain Shadow's personal weapon, which he forged
himself. Made out of a strange black metal it is both
indestructible and sharpened to a fine edge so sharp it can cut
metal with relative ease. The hilt of the sword has another
handle attached sideways, making a secondary handle where the
hand guard would normally be. The sword has been infused with
pure magic, and because of that it sucks away the light around
it, making any room or area as dark as twilight until it is put
back into its sheath. (submitted by Richard Barrere)
EWD(EARLY WARNING DOGTAG): With this dogtag Rovers can be alerted if
their comrades are in danger and need assistance. When this is
the case the dogtag flashes.
CHANGELING/CLOAKER
BELTS: Invented by Wesley Hawk
as an infiltration device, the belt has the power to turn the
wearer invisible or become someone or something else. Missions
against the KH Military and GONV Forces has proven that body heat
is the only way to detect a cloaked person; Mr. Hawk is currently
working to fix the problem. (submitted by Greg Williams)
BREAK BEAM PULSE
CANNON: The BBP cannon is a
light recoilless cannon that fires trajectory-altering magnetic
ion pulses which disables the power systems of vehicles,
rendering them inactivate, and can even be used against missiles
by disabling the guidance systems. The cannon can also stun
organic targets when placed at the right setting. It can be
carried by infantry, but is best used when attached to vehicles.
It carries its own power supply so if the vehicle it is attached
to is disabled, it can be removed and carried. It weighs around
25 pounds and uses a common lithium ion power source with enough
power to run for about 4 days in standard mode or 1 day in long
range mode with a maximum charge. It consists of a single-barrel
design layout with a manual optical sight and built in lock-on
radar. When its attached to the vehivle a HUD comes up with the
sight. When the target comes into range a red triangle-shaped
icon falls over the sight and starts rotating. It has a firing
rate of 950 PPM or pulses per min. Its main drawback is that it
has a rather loud report and produces a bright red coloured
pulse.
TENNIS BALL
CANNON: The weapon of choice
for Hunter, the TBC fires a dog saliva-covered tennisball at the
target. The tennisballs come in conventional hard-hitting
bullets, or ones that explode on impact. The tennisballs can also
be tossed as grenades.
CABLE LAUNCHER: A device worn around the wrist that
launches a cable and hook to the top a structure and pulls the
user to the top or used to climb down a building. It can be also
used to swing to one structure to another. (submitted by Kristen
Coughlan)
SAPIEN BOMBS: A device invented by Lily that emits a
bright flash that make a Cano-sapien, Cano-mutant, Felo-sapien,
or Felo-sapien return to their regular form. (submitted by
Kristen Coughlan)
COMMUNICATOR
WATCH: A communicator/watch
that is worn around the wrist. The communicator is only activated
by the user's voice. It also has a homing beacon and a emergency
alarm that warns the other members of his or her team that they
are in trouble. (submitted by Kristen Coughlan)
CLOAK DEVICE: A device worn around the upper arm that
will cloak the wearer up to one hour on its own batteries and
three hours hooked to a power pack. (submitted by Kristen
Coughlan)
POWER PACK: A device worn on the belt that extends the
power life of certain weapons and equipment. (submitted by
Kristen Coughlan)
ELECTRIC BOLT: A bolt that if placed on a vehicle or
large equipment remotely activated it will disable the equipment
making it usless. (submitted by Kristen Coughlan)
JAMMING BOLT: A bolt that jams GPS Links, Weapons, and
Radio on a vehicle for a certain length of time. (submitted by
Kristen Coughlan)
ALPHA-RED GOGGLES: Used to look through building to see if
anyone is inside. It can also detect persons using cloak powers.
(submitted by Kristen Coughlan)
BLOCKING DEVICE: Used on persons and vehicles it makes the
user invisible to radar and other scans. (submitted by Kristen
Coughlan)
RADIO
WATCH: Also called a Com-Watch (or Watch-Com), the Radio
Watch resembles a stylish, high-tech wrist watch with both digital and
mechanical clocks and the insignia of Unit STRIKE painted on the face. However,
built within the watch is a small radio transmitter and receiver. It has an
effective range of 10 kilometres and this range can be extended by using the
transmission system of the Stealth Rover. The speaker is designed to allow
maximum sound output quality, plus it has a filter that can remove a great
amount of background noise. Radio Watches are worn by all members of Unit STRIKE
except Merit, who does not require such a device.
PERSONAL
COMMUNICATION DEVICE (PCD): A communications device that is an
amalgamation of a walkie-talky, camcorder, camera, GPS device and a
tazer. (submitted by Kristen Coughlan)
PORTABLE
FLYER: A small hang glider that can be folded up for easy transport and
storage. Each glider is customized to a person's weight. (submitted by Kristen Coughlan)
BATTLE SHELL:
The Battle Shell is a mechanical combat suit that was specially designed for
Merit when it became apparent that the drone was not of great use in the field
of combat. The shell allows Merit to be loaded in and then encased by armored
plating while allowing the drone to plug into the shell's systems. The shell is
mounted on treads that can reach a top speed of 20 kilometers/ph and each arm is
equipped with twin cannons that fires bolts of electrical energy, with effects
that range from stun to kill. The front of the shell allows Merit's hatch to
come out to allow him to work. A special "aggression" microchip encourages the
usually pacifist Merit to use force when necessary.
------------------------------
GROUND VEHICLES:
------------------------------
THE RHINO: The Rhino is a specialized
Hum-vee used by special EDF agents. It is covered with titanium
armor which allows it to take large amounts of damage. It has
also been designed to fly. The armament consist of the following:
a Sonic Cannon, EMP missile launchers, Vulcan miniguns and
Blackjack mines. Striker's Hum-vee has the Road Rover symbol
painted on the sides.
DIESEL ROVER: The Diesel Rover is a
modified undercover Mack truck used to transport food, clothing
and other essentials to Road Rover Mission Control in secret and
as a trailer for participation in parades and other public
events. It can also be used as a back-up trailer for the Mobile
Rover Headquarter (MRHQ). It carries a Global Positioning System
(GPS), radio communications and a conventional CB radio.
(submitted by Jake Williams).
TRI-TANK ROVER: This is a two seated
bullet shaped land based vehicle that has two front tank treads
and a single rear tire. The treads are for traction and the tire
is for speed. It is used to traverse heavy industrial areas.
CYCLE ROVER: This is a tri-wheeled
motorcycle that travels mainly on streets and roads. It has the
ability to convert to a jet-ski to traverse bodies of water. It
can carry two-passengers.
TANK ROVER: The Tank Rover is a four
seated tank like vehicle designed for the use in snow but it also
has the ability tp change into a helicopter which can also change
into a large sled. It can also small- to medium-sized cargo.
STREET ROVER: The Street Rover is a
three-seated car that can travel at high speeds due to the rocket
thrusters built into the rear of the vehicle. It can also use the
thrusters to fly when it produces wings.
BURROW ROVER: The Burrow Rover looks
similar to the Street Rover with one notable feature: it carries
two "arms" that end in large shovels. This allows the
vehicle to dig in the ground and burrow underground to surprise
enemy forces.
CAVE ROVER: This is a six-wheeled,
four seated vehicle that is used to travel into tunnels, mining
shafts and caverns. It carries a towing hook and a single missile
launcher that can fired at pursuers.
SLED ROVER: This is a single seated
motorcycle sled which is driven by a lone traction wheel. It can
only carry one occupant and is used to traverse snow-covered
areas.
SYLVIA: Sylvia, the personal
vehicle of Amani Wolf (Grizzly Strayer Unit), is a converted
full-sized pick-up truck that has been upgraded by Professor
Hubert. Besides the standard winch, fog-lamps and roll cage it
also an advanced dashboard and the ability to fly using built-in
wings and thrusters. (submitted by Steven Today)
SHUTTLE TUBE: This is what this transportation system is called.
They lead between the homes of the Rovers to RRMC. They allow
them to quickly move to and fro. The entrances are hidden so not
to reveal the Rover's true identity. They can only carry one
passenger at a time.
BORG, CYCLE, RED,
VIOLET: They are Cycleborg, or
a cyborg that happens to be a motorcycle. The Cyclborg was
developed by Professor Hubert at Road Rover Mission Control and
distributed to the Strayer units (almost every unit has at least
one). They were being delivered to some new Strayer Units when
Mad Dog unit attacked the delivery truck and stole the cycleborgs
and equipment inside. Drifter recovered the truck. When Drifter
was building the cave base, large rocks came down trapping Red
and Violet in a cavern with some of the equipment and he couldn't
get them out. Drifter uses Borg. When Rebel joined up with him,
he got Cycle. Borg was taken by the Road Rovers when Drifter was
"killed" and given to Krista. When Bud, Tasha, Lily,
and Chase joined, Bud moved the rocks with his super strength and
freed Red and Violet. Bud got Red and Tasha got Violet. When
Drifter was found, Borg was given back to him. They are sleek and
high tech jet motorcycles. Borg is forest green, Cycle is black,
Red is scarlet, and Violet is dark purple. They have several
closed compartments for storage. On the fuel tank and the
handlebars are several buttons, switches and dials. There is also
a video screen which can acts as a video radio, an electronic
road map of the surrounding area or displays for other things.
The vehicle is part machine, part living tissue. It can morph
into several different things, one giving it the ability to fly.
They are powered by a Neutro-Ionic power system which is more
efficient and economical than standard power. Thanks to their
living brains, Cycleborgs can respond in a variety of emotions.

AIRCRAFT:
-----------------
JUMBO ROVER: The Jumbo Rover is a
converted Boeing model 747 aircraft used by the Road Rovers. It
carries many high technological equipment and has enough seats
for about 350 passengers. It also carries a Transdogmafier and a
hangar for transporting heavy equipment and Rover vehicles. It's
primary use is as a flying command centre should Road Rover
Mission Control become destroyed or taken over by hostile forces.
It carries no weapons, but it has stealth capability, missile
countermeasures and is hardened against EMP.
TURBOJET ROVER: The TurboJet Rover is a
six-seated aircraft that flies at near sonic speed or can convert
into a submarine to travel below the surface. It's armament is a
single cannon mounted in the nose that can destroy most targets
in a single shot.
CLOUD ROVER: This is a helicopter that
comes in two models: the
single-rotor version that carries a weapons
payload similar to the AH-64 Apache and the
twin-rotor version that is primarily used to
transport personnel.
PACK ROVER: The Pack Rover is a large,
four-engine jet that is used to transport heavy cargo and other
Rover vehicles.
SONIC ROVER: The Sonic Rover is the
fastest aircraft in the Rover armory. It can travel at
super-sonic speed (up to Mach 3) for a few minutes to evade enemy
forces. It can carry six passengers.
JET ROVER: The sleek, black Jet Rover
is a fast jet that is mainly used to escape from enemy forces. It
carries powerful missiles that destroy a target as large as a
mountain peak. It can carry six passengers.
SKY ROVER: This is a three-seated jet
that has VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) technology and
carries a water cannon (to fight fires and to contain riots).
STEALTH ROVER: The Stealth Rover is a
specialized vehicle built by Professor Hubert for Unit STRIKE on
Striker's request. It resembles a F-117 Stealth Fighter, thought
it is much larger (about the size of the Pack Rover). It has a
cockpit with six seats, a recreation room, bathroom, armoury and
bunkrooms for extended missions. It also has a cargo hold that
can carry two vehicles and several motorcycles. Like the F-117,
the Stealth Rover uses stealth technology. It also uses the VTOL
technology found on the Harrier Jet. Despite its size, the
Stealth Rover is highly manoeuvrable and fast, thought it can
still be out-flown by more nimble aircraft such as the F-22
Lighting and the MIG-42. It's armament consists of standard
air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles as well as a laser chaingun
and precision bombs.
---------------------
NAVAL SHIPS:
---------------------
OCEAN ROVER: The Ocean Rover is the
most powerful naval vessel of the Road Rovers. It is a
nine-seated submarine that resembles a large yellow canine.
Indeed, it uses it's "legs" to paddle forward or
backwards. It has no known armament.
HOVER ROVER: The Hover Rover is a
six-seated hovercraft that has a single turbine to propel it
forward. It is mainly used to travel by river and to navigate
swamps, but it also has the ability to produce wings in order to
fly.
HYDRO ROVER: The Hydro Rover is a
two-seater speed boat used to travel mainly upon rivers.
STEALTH BOAT: Invented by Wesley Hawk as
an infiltration vehicle, seating a dozen commando's. The Stealth
boats are able to convert into a submarine and carries a laser
canon in the nose.
USS RETRIEVER: A modified Nimitz class
aircraft carrier on loan from America for use by the Road Rover
organization. Modifications include standard RR equipment;
jammers, hacking equipment, and various radars. What sets it
apart from a normal carrier is a missile room just off the bridge
used on special occasions and a mini-submarine dock underneath
the main hull. Plus it carries the usual compliment of jets.
------------------------------------------------------
STATIONARY
DEFENCE SYSTEMS:
------------------------------------------------------
SUPER TROUPER: Not a soldier, rather, it
is a titanic laser cannon. Tailored exclusively to the refitted
luxury-liner Inspiration's titanic rear crown, the Super Trouper
weighs approximately 700 tons, and can severely damage or destroy
a ship up to 30,000 gross tons in a single, 20 foot wide shot.
The cooling system is elaborate, over two miles long and winding
into the engine's own cooling system. This has only been used
twice, once during the hunt for Garis, and during the Battle of
Palau. (submitted by Desutoroia)
RADIO JAMMING ORB: The RJO found aboard the
Inspiration and several other naval ships can block off all but
magnetic communication within a two mile radius. A blue-red aura
surrounding the apparatus indicates that the power is on, and
invisible beams shoot static in narrow bands, leaving the ships
clear to continue receiving readings. The orbs can also be paired
with shield generators and have a diameter of 35 feet. It's
critical weakness is electronic interference from EMP (eletro
magnetic pulse). (submitted by Desutoroia)
----------------------------
SUPER WEAPONS:
----------------------------
SPACE ROVER: The Space Rover is a
large, dog-shaped space ship that carries a vast array of
offensive and defensive weapon systems. One unique feature is the
Saucer Rover, which can detach from the mother ship to allow more
speed and agility. The ship can also travel at warp speed.
RRBM-165P "THE
HOWLER": he Road Rover Ballistic Missile-100P, or
RRBM-100P, was proposed by an aspiring Road Rover scientist just days before the
KH Military launched the failed attack Francisco Ortega's Private island, but
was dropped. Then, the day after the Iron Fist Crisis, the RRBM was given a
massive overhaul and brought before the Directors of Arms again, this time with
their approval. The RRBM went through a surprisingly fast R&D process, while
most new weapons or vehicles take decades to fully mature, this weapon only took
about two years. The RRBM-101P had many problems at first, and thus more and
more versions were spawned, until one was deemed as perfect as could be reached:
the RRBM-165P. This version had a more then acceptable fuel-consumption rate
when compared to it's range, was hard-wired against EMP from a nuclear explosion
of various magnitudes, along with the most bizarre feature of all: A drill bit
at the front end. This drill is intended to allow it to burrow even deeper into
hard mountain rock then it's smaller Bunker-Buster cousins, reaching depths of
up to .8 km. This drill would also allow the missile to dig beyond the outer
hulls of vessels before detonating it's payload, maximizing the damage
inflicted. When the missile was being tested, the scientist noticed that the
noise of the drill swirling in mid-air combined with the sound of the engine,
sounded much like a low-pitched Wolf's howl, thus the birth of 'The Howler's'
name. A smaller, soldier-sized version is on the drawing boards, but is unlikely
to see service for some time. It's dimensions are 1.52 meters x 6.1 meters,
range is between 60,000 and 70,000 km and has a maximum speed of between mach 7
and mach 8. It's launch pads can be in-ground missile silos, missile equipped
submarine or destroyers (maximum limit of six) or large flat-bed truck (maximum
limit of three). It's payload can either be either 3,628.74kg to 9,071.85kg TNT
or other non-nuclear explosives. (submitted by K-9: The First)
