PERKS

Charge. If you move at least 10 feet away from your past position and then attack with a Might weapon immediately after, you gain a ↑1 on the Might Skill Test.

Foot Soldier. When in Bot Mode, treat your Speed as if it was 2 higher when calculating how many Free Actions you get on your turn.

Hardcore. When you take enough damage to be Defeated, you can spend an Energon POint instead to lose a limb but otherwise ignore the effect of the attack. You can use Hardcore as long as you have Energon Points and limbs to spare.

Hover. When flying in Bot-Mode, you don’t have to move on your turn.

Laser Immunity. You are Immune to Laser Damage.

Mode Conversion: Cybertronians spend a Standard Action to convert between Bot Mode and Alt-Mode.

Pack Mule. Your Brawn is considered 2 points higher for carrying capacity and for satisfying equipment requirements. You can carry three additional hands of equipment.

Warrior Rush. On the first turn of combat, double your Movements until the beginning of your next turn.

War Veteran. When making an Alertness Skill Test to gain information of the current battlefield, you gain an Edge.

Wisdom Through Experience: Once per scene following a Combat, when looking for clues or theorizing about enemy plans, you may ask the GM if one of your ideas has merit. The GM must then answer Yes or No truthfully and provide a hit as to why they gave that answer. A “Maybe” result provides two hints.
