Mark, you must have missed this on SST for SGII posted a few days ago
(sorry, don't knw who posted it):

Hi all,
With the release of SST, I thought, about the inevitability of somebody
going out and actually doing this on a tabletop! BTW? anybody got info
on
the micromachines, esp their cost and how many to a pack?

SO without further ado, here's the writeup for SG II!

Quality Die=D10
Save Roll=D4
Moves as Fast PA
Has Close Combat Edged Weaponry and PA bonuses for Close Combat Terror
Effect
May capture a human if it wounds him in Melee

natural
even number that results in a kill, the Warrior is automatically taken
down(hit to the nerve stem).
