Design Notes - Gerard (see below) was the strongest member of the family so I wanted a very strong vehicle, hence a pickup with metal armor and a roll-cage.  I put this at Div50 because the owner can customize how to drop $173 (maybe no bumper triggers? 2 Laser webs?)

Design Notes - This was in my draft pile, dated Oct 8, 2009. Oberon is one of the most powerful of the This is part of the Amber characters, so I wanted to make a very powerful car.  Sadly, back in 2009, that meant a C/A frame. Hence the 2063 update, which is not altogether bad, but it reinforces my discovery that EWPs are really heavy!  Each is 250 lbs, that makes a RL into a laser; so is it worth it?

As usual, after the spate of updates and options, I'm not sure the end car recognizably resembles the one at the top.

Note, the original didn't have the Styx Laser Paint Array, but I had an extra space and 80 lbs to spare, so I left historical accuracy.

Name Notes - This is named after the head of the family in the Amber series.  Ironically, since Oberon is a name of a moon of Uranus, I've used the name before.

Design Notes - I was looking at this 2009 design and felt it needed updating, specifically to get rid of the C/A frame, to do that effectively, I needed to go gas:

Luxury (C/A frame), XHvy Chassis, Hvy-Active Suspension, Sport PP (PC/SC), 4 Solid (FP-Radial-StB) tires, driver, 2 linked HMG (20/HD ammo) in turret, FOJ (25/reg) back, 8 dischargers (2 R,L,T,U & 1 F,B - 4 oil, 4 ice, 2 hot-smoke), cyberlink to HMG, IFE, HDHTM & overdrive (each linked to HMG & as well as HMG-FOJ link), Anti-Lock Heavy Duty Brakes, Heavy Duty Shocks, spoiler & airdam, Fake Ramplate, no paint tinted windshield; 4 bumper triggers linked to side's dischargers, 9 pts LRFP CA each around driver, PP and FOJ; driver has blended BA, 2 8 pt WH front & 2 7 pt WH front(all LRFP), 170 pts sloped plastic FPLR armor (F32 B32 R35 L35 U16 T20); Acc 10 (20), Top 122.5 (142.5 overdrive, 80 HDHTM), HC 5 (6), 6600 lbs, $86,705

I see no real reason to use the big engine option now that I've done the calculations.  And the Div35 version may not be half bad.

Name Notes - This is part of the Amber series.  Benedict is the strongest one of the brothers, so I wanted a very strong car.

Bleys - Div75 Pickup (Amber)

Pickup, Xhvy Ch., Hvy. Sus., 200 IC Engine (Tube/Blue/VP), 6 gal. Duelling Gas Tank, 4 Solid (FP/Radial) Tires rear, 2 Steel/Radial/FP Solid tires front, Driver (blended Body Armor); RL (10/AP) + ITL + LGL (10) in turret, 2 linked RL (10/AP) in 2 2-space EWP,  ITL front + 20 LGL to EWPs, all RL smartlinked, 4 Hot Smoke Dischargers (Top, Bottom, right, left), 4 Ice Dischargers (R, L, F, B), HD-Antilock Brakes, HD Shocks, Hi-Res TC, 4 bumper triggers, no-paint windshield, 9 pts LRFP EWP armor each, 20 pts total for FP WG/WH, 9 pts LRFP CA around driver & gas tank-engine, 172 pts Sloped Composite armor, 12 Metal, 160 FP Plastic: F 2/40 B 2/30 R 2/35 L 2/35 T 2/10 U 2/10.

HC 4, Acc. 10, Top 72.5, Pwr 3500, Range 210, 7796.8 lbs., $73,732.30

Design Notes - EWPs seem best for pickups with their great weight capacity yet no space available. The first version is from last year but the options are from now, to see if I can make it better.

Name Notes - From Zelazny's Amber series, another of the Princes of Amber.  (Dec 8, 2013 Update, added picture below from this site.)

Benedict - Div100 Luxury (Amber)

Luxury (C/A frame), XHvy Chassis, Hvy-Active Suspension, Sport PP (PC/SC), 4 Solid (FP-Radial-StB) tires, driver (blended BA), 2 linked HMG (20/HD ammo) in turret, FOJ (25/reg) back, cyberlink to HMG, IFE, HDHTM & overdrive (each linked to HMG & as well as HMG-FOJ link), Anti-Lock Heavy Duty Brakes, Heavy Duty Shocks, spoiler & airdam, Fake Ramplate, no paint tinted windshield; 8 dischargers (2 R,L,T,U & 1 F,B - 4 oil, 4 ice, 2 hot-smoke), 4 bumper triggers linked to side's dischargers, 9 pts LRFP CA each around driver, PP and FOJ; driver has , 2x8 pt WH front & 2x7 pt WH front (all LRFP), 170 pts sloped LRFP plastic  armor F 32 B 32 R 35 L 35 U 16 T 20; HC 5 (6), Acc 10 (20), Top 122.5 (142.5 overdrive, 80 HDHTM), 6600 lbs, $86,705

Design Notes - Benedict is the strongest character in the Amber series so I wanted to make the best car possible, cost be damned. Now, mind you, I haven't playtested this - from the standpoint of design theory, a C/A frame is a gamble I'm willing to suggest but I have no idea how it would survive in the arena. But this has much of the stuff I like to see all-together.

Original draft from Sept 9-2008, dunno why it waited till now. Pic from here

Corwin - Div20 Luxury

Luxury, Xhvy Ch., Hvy Sus., Super PP, 4 PR-Steel Tires, driver & gunner, VMG (20/incen) in turret, VMG (20/incen) front, SD (10/incen) back, smartlink for VMGs; FE, 10 pts CA each around driver, PP & front VMG, 8 dischargers (2 Hot Smoke top, 2 Smoke bottom, 6 oil/smoke around sides); 153 pts plastic armor F30 B30 R30 L30 T18 U15; HC 3, Acc 5, Top 100, 6595 lbs, $19,990

• Solid Option - 4 regular Solid tires, regular ammo in the VMGs, only 6 dischargers (1 hot smoke the rest oil/smoke), add 1 pt armor; $19,995


• Div30 Option - Like original but Sport PP, 4 Solid-Radial tires, add 2 links (SD to each VMG separately), 4 bumper triggers (to dischargers), HTM, HD-ABS, add 10 pts CA around gunner and all CA is now FP, add 2 pts armor (155 total), and crew now each have BA; Acc 5 (10), Top 110 (82.5), HC 4, 6595 lbs, $29,930


• Whole Hog Option - like Div30 but engine has PC/SC, FP armor & tires, add 2 HR computers, HTM is now HDHTM, add overdrive; body armor is now blended IBA, Acc. 10 (20/5), Top 122.5 (90/142.5), HC 4, $56,530

Design Notes - I had an image of this weapon system in my head this morning, with the subconscious note that it should be div20, and I whipped it together. I'm not so happy with the way it's turned out (to save money I didn't make the CA fireproof and I did steel-belted radials instead of solids), but I wanted to see how it would turn out.

I've decided to design the cars with 8 total dischargers: 2 each Right, Left, and Top & Bottom, then 1 front & back. The top & bottom are going to be hot smoke (when I can afford it) or just smoke; this is laser insurance (hot for IRs).

Name is from the hero of the first series of Roger Zelazny's Amber series. And not after this person whose parents had better be in on the joke.
