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.
