But nothing has everything
GURPS, HERO System, and M&M would say differently.

Though admittedly they don't have the 'flavor' of Shadowrun.

I would reply with Rifts, but to each his/her own.
Spooky, what do you do this pass? Shoot him with my thunderstruck gauss rifle. (Rolls)  8 hits. Does that blow his head off?

To my knowledge there are no transforming mecha in Rifts. But it has been years since I even opened or purchased a Rifts book... (I think Rifts Canada was the last. And I was so disgusted with that book that I actually swore off Rifts for a time!)
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Remember: You can't fix Stupid. But you can beat on it with a 2x4 until it smartens up! Or dies.

My point being that Rifts is designed (so to speak) to incorporate any other game idea/ruleset into something that makes it all work together, however imperfectly. So you can have a transformer pilot working with a military sniper and a medieval fighter, supported by a magic tosser and a magic healer.

wait, you mean the Kittani? (or some such).
Yea, there was 2 or 3 mechs in there that changed between various modes. Good memory! I totally forgot about the Atlantis book.
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

>> wait, you mean the Kittani? (or some such).

Exactly . He had a split personality . One was  a deflected Rebel who fled his Atlantis Slave Masters , and a second ( dominant but hidden) personality as a spy for the Spluggorth Slave Masters . Complete wit Bio mod Parasites that transformed him in an MDC Creature .
Rifts is so stock full of Char Ideas and  so rich in Fluff but at the same time is so bad Ruleswise.
We used to play Rifts with GURPS ( 3rd ed) Rules
And recently I read about an oficial Savage Worlds Conversion....( If You're interested)

But I think we're a little offtopic , aye ?
