Hmmn anyone got a benchmark price for the Talos drone from Shadowrun Missions-Firestorm please? Granted in the Mish it was a field tested prototype but the team rigger needs new toys and the anthrodrone from Rigger 4 isn`t in Chummer yet.... ;D
An Awful lot of people believe a lot of very strange things indeed for no valid reason I can see. They can`t all be right but it is quite likely they all can be very wrong.

Based on its quality, it should be worth more than probably around 300kny, as it's not quite as rad as the Otomo, but very close.

Based on it being a prototype I really don't know.

It's an alternate model of the Akiyama, actually.

[Spoiler]You can't really buy it, but it is theoretically possible to 'obtain' it during that mission*. Just be aware you may have to fail at least part ofthe mission to do so.[/SPOILER]

I am fairly certain Bull isn't going to be allowing Rigger 4 in Missions, given it's the April Fools joke. But I could be wrong.

* - [spoiler]Funny story. My team did manage to bag the drone, but since the GM at that time merely described it as a dog sized drone that scrambled about on all fours, we thought it was just a particularly stealthy Doberman variant or the like. As I was the only rigger, it was given to my character. I scribbled "obtained Talos drone" on the log sheet and... promptly forgot about it. It was Gen Con, I was kinda distracted.

Cue more than two years real time later. I was auditing my paperwork, noticed my scribbled note, and was perplexed as the 'talos' drone didn't seem to be in any book. I started asking around and was a little in shock to find out it was an Akiyama varient.

I had just saved up for and spent over a quarter million on a custom Otomo variant drone, as anthroforms are that character's schtick. I had been making do with a gimpy modified Manservant up until then.

So, yeah, I kinda feel like an idiot.  :) [/spoiler]
