Quadruped morphs

Are there any in canon so far? I saw (https://www.behance.net/gallery/32014479/RUSSIA-ARMS-EXPO) and was inspired, but after digging through my books I don't see anything anywhere near it. Any ideas?

Flexbot

May I suggest the flexbot? Maybe a longbow and fighter for the overall look of the jag in the link. Or, centaur with a mounted weapon system (sure it's got two hands, but that just means it can do fingerguns while the rail capacitors charge). For less intimidation, but still technically quad, scurrier. (spelling)

Yes, there are some quadruped

Yes, there are some quadruped morphs. I'm not sure how many are animal like though. Its not exactly what most transhumans want in a morph. They tend to want something humanoid, or at least something with hands and stuff. You might have to make your own morph using the rules in the Transhuman book. See page 221. The Transhuman book also have guidelines for movement speeds. See page 218. For instance, morphs that are light, have many legs, or have some reason for why they are quick will have a higher movement speed. Those that are heavy, equipped with heavy armor, or have some reason to be slow will have slower movement speeds.

Ok, I guess I just designed one. Feel free to use. Its a quicky, so keep that in mind if you decide to criticize it.

Voltron!

I watched that video and I couldn't help but think of Voltron... but much cooler.

Do not have access to my

Do not have access to my books right now, and was supposed to go to sleep hours ago for work. That said, I do believe there was a morph that was pretty much exactly this. Transgenic number, starts with no hands. Description is super vague, though. Basically "use this for your transgenic animal pod needs." I can't for the life of me think what it was called. Never used it and have not read the book in months. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Edit: Spacey as Underwood, apparently. Did not even notice the video. No synths of that description, that I know of.

So did we answer your

So did we answer your questions? Still need help? I'm still not quite sure what you were looking for. I'm assuming you were looking for animal like morphs because of the pictures you linked to. I don't know if any morphs with 4 (or more) legs would suffice. If that was the case then the Fenrir or Cetus would count.

Maybe this?

While technically not canon , there is the Stalker pod biomorph from the Playing Uplifts section of the Transhuman Open Playtest. It's a heavily augmented big cat, salvaged from an attempt at uplifting felines. It reminded me of the Cyberpred from Chromebook 3 of Cyberpunk 2020 RPG - here's a link to the .pdf : http://www.crjr.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/CyberPunk-2020-Source-Chro...
