Character Bio - This wretched creature rises from the toxic slime pits outside Megacity One, and lumbers into the city through the rubble of its war ravaged defensive walls, with a need for human flesh. It irradiates anyone it touches to death.
The beast was once a man, Bizmo Klux. His own survival is due to having so many cybernetic body parts that they survive long after the rest of him has perished after he has been thrown into the pit by two thieving killers. ~ Arthur Chappell

IRRADIATE
If you roll at least one skull when making a normal attack, leaving engagement attack, or defending against an adjacent normal attack, before placing wounds, inflict a wound on an adjacent figure.

WALKING DEAD
After an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker on an Army Card that opponent controls, you may immediately move Rad-Beast up to 2 spaces. If Rad-Beast ends this move engaged with one or more enemy figures that he was not engaged with at the beginning of this move, you may immediately choose one figure Rad-Beast is engaged with and roll 1 unblockable attack die against that figure. When moving with Walking Dead, Rad-Beast will take any leaving engagement attacks.

WEAK-MINDED 2
If any player rolls the 20-sided die to take temporary or permanent control of Rad-Beast, that player may add 2 to the roll.

Art stuff

[Lord Pyre]

Efficient design! Already On-Deck!

Cool design though. Very glass cannon-y. Irradiate is powerful but offset by low survivability. Neat!

[Tornado]

I moved a thread!

[MrNobody]

Another weak-minded Android! Sweet!

Should Irradiate somehow apply to Walking Dead too?

[Tornado]

In what way?

[Margloth]

This guy will be tricky to use, as he's not exactly dependable enough for an OM. TWD will probably mean his value will be greater as a potential tie down figure than anything.

If you want to up his fun level and potency, you could change Irradiate to:

IRRADIATE
When Rad Beast attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack or a leaving engagement attack, or defends against an adjacent normal attack, and you roll at least one skull, choose an adjacent figure to receive a wound. Androids, destructible objects and figures with the Environmental Suit special power are not affected by Irradiate.

This will ensure he's always a nuisance, without having to try to anticipate at what point you'll need to gamble an order marker on him.

I like that. Thanks Margloth!

Think this reads a little bit better.

Cool. Thanks. Updated.
