Man, budget cuts are really taking their toll.

Just a bit, though if I were Officer Wilcox, I'd be a little annoyed about that left forearm. Seriously, guys, that was the best you could do? I'm sure his rebuilders would point out that all that arm really has to do is hold his riot shield, and, as such, it doesn't need to be particularly elaborate.

It sure makes typing his reports a pain, though. He's hoping that the next fiscal year's budget will bring enough that he can either get a proper left forearm - or at least a hand - or, failing that, one of those direct computer interface things like Murwell over at the 33rd has.

Oh my, that gave me a laugh I desperately needed today. Thank you so much!

You're quite welcome.

A few notes:

Obviously 6Doz here is more a parody of Robocop than of the Six Million Dollar Man, but when I realized that "Six Dozen Dollar Man" was exactly the right length for a character name, I couldn't not use it.

He's gone through some evolutions since I originally came up with him; the first version was an AR/something Blaster, but he languished when I realized that the one AR blaster I already have (Pres. Roosevelt) was already one more than I'm really interested in playing most of the time, so he sat until I decided to fool around with a /Shield character. Even then, his primary was going to be Electric Melee until I decided to do up an Elec/Elec Scrapper version of the Phantom Dynamo - at which point I decided that a Robocop riff made the most unlikely permutation I could think of for the classic Broadsword/Shield combo, far different from all the medieval knight types that are no doubt floating around out there, and went with it. If the idea of a cop carrying around a broadsword doesn't float your boat, assume it's some kind of weird high-tech riot baton or something. (Yes, I know there's a police nightstick model available for /War Mace over on the Tanker side, but Tankers, to be frank, bore the shorts off me, especially solo.)

He may get remade again, to be more of a straight Robocop riff, when the supposedly forthcoming pistol Blaster set arrives, but I think I'm much more likely to make a hero version of

Gunbutler instead.
