Once again we find ourselves on Superhero Saturday. Let’s get started and see what we generate today. For the Archetype roll we get a 2 which means that we will be making a Construct!

Next is the Abilities which is an 11 so our construct is Technological. Looks like a robot on the team! That puts us at 34/150PP used. The STA is a “dash” since the robot isn’t a living creature. Items and attacks against its “body” and “health” don’t affect it (poison, disease, etc.), but it would not naturally heal damage. It would have to seek out repair from someone else that had the technical knowledge to do it (maybe the gadgeteer on the team?)

For Advantages, we roll a 1 so it is a Brawler. We select Power Attack for the choice. That’s 36/150PP used so far.

For skills, roll a 2 and a 4, Brute for both. That is a lot of intimidation and athletics! This robot is going to be larger and impressive than it is scary. Up to 48/150PP used.

For Powers, we roll a 14 for Juggernaut. Impervious protection is great since it ignores damages effects below 1/2 of its level. It will not have to worry about guns and knives. That’s 124/150PP used.

Under Defensive power, we get a 3 for Fast and Tough. Better defense stats and more impervious protection. At 140/150PP, we are almost done.

Secondary power is a 12 for inhuman Brain. The robot’s inhuman brain protects it from mental effects. That’s 150/150 for a complete character.

Here is an image of Megabot from a quick Google search (the artist, Jeetdoh, is noted. Very nice art…might have to come back to look for other characters in the future.)

Since it has an “M” on its chest, we decide to name the robot Megabot!

For complications, I add enemy and prejudice. Since the robot has a creator (probably a military or government), the enemies of that creator would be enemies of Megabot. For prejudice, I would guess most people would treat Megabot more as a device and less as a thinking machine. Even though it is inhuman, it is still an autonomous being that isn’t directly controlled by a person.
