Editing Mechanoids

'''The Mechanoids''' refers to both a product line within the [[Palladium Books]] [[multiverse|megaverse]] and a species which it centers around.

=The Books=
'''The Mechanoid Invasion Trilogy''' was a set of 3 interlinked RPG settings released by [[Palladium Books]] between 1981 to 1982, and were the very first RPGs produced by Palladium.

The Mechanoids would later return, having been accidentally summoned to [[RIFTS]] Earth by Archie 3, in '''RIFTS Sourcebook Two: The Mechanoids'''.

=The Race=
At their core, mechanoids can be simply described as "[[Doctor Who|Daleks, if the BBC had a better budget]]". They are a race of bio-engineered, genetically altered human off-shoots, reduced to little more than a giant disembodied brain, installed in highly advanced mechanical bodies. They reproduce through a combination of cloning and engineering, and have a pseudo-caste system where different mechanical bodies are paired with cloned bio-brains specificially genegineered for compatibility with that body's function.
