The everlasting search for resources has produced a wide range of competing companies, each selling their own brand of shiny, mass produced, armored clones to whichever brain wanted to buy them.
This kind of situation gives opportunities for... less moral traders to do business.
Amputee technologies (Shortened to Amputech) was a business created solely for making money from this never-ending conflict. Our business plan is slightly different to those of the Pelian Army or Kloveska, whose mercenary products are cloned from existing stock. Why bother, we reasoned, using high-maintenance human bodies when they're just going to be dropped into a battlefield? And why bother equipping them with fancy, shiny Darklone armour when it's just going to be melted to scrap.
Instead, we put our emphasis on function and cost.
Our units may not be pleasing to the eye, but you'll get eight amputees for the price of a single crobotech grunt!
So without further ado, here's our product line:
From left to right:
The Amputee (Amputated Trooper) is our most basic, and currently cheapest, body.
Their insides have been stripped to the minimum and their remaining organs cybernetically augmented. Their remaining brain matter has been fixed to virtually remove the possibility of a single unit escaping your control. This also allows you to over-ride any self-preservation the body might have left, and the removal of all replaceable organic matter means that this lightweight clone can run at speeds almost double that of coalition stock.
This unit also comes in pre-armed versions, as shown below wielding the maneater pistol (Our only current firearm) (far right)
The Reinforced Amputee is our answer to test complaints that the Basic Amputee is too lightweight.
Plated in recycled steel body armour, it isn't as speedy as the amputee, but it's definitely much stronger and longer-lasting.
The Aerial Amputee, is the most versatile of the amputee class.
Its armour is made of a more lightweight alloy, and it's life support systems have been moved back into the body allowing for greater mobility. Due to this, we have given it our mark two jetpack, allowing for much longer time in air.
It's head may look unprotected, but embedded steel plated remove the need for the heavy helmet the reinforced troopers have, it's actually slightly more durable and give 360 degree protection.
The Amputech Brain Guard is a superheavy amputee. (Still awaiting new sprites)
Its armour is incredibly strong, and will usually have to be knocked off using explosives (the amputech maneater pistol is quite good for this purpose, but you only get one shot). The side effect of this is that the unit is incredibly slow. It is also the most expensive unit of the amputee class.
Its purpose is to guard bunkers and brain rooms, so its mobility is not so much of a problem. It does have a jetpack but its weight is so great that it is basically useless.

All the sprites (And therefore limbpaths and, to a lesser extent, offsets) are placeholders, so no comments about them please (Unless you like them 0: ).
If you're just going to say "Sprites suck, no D/L, then don't post.

He, he... these are pretty nice! I'll download it to see what kind of punch these pack, then come right back at ya with further comments.
Since you said no to sprite comments, then I won't comment to tell you my opinion on them, simply give you this suggestion: Maybe you could make the amputees without legs. Only a jetpack would suffice.
