Publication history

Shannon Appelcline explained that with Rifts supplements, "Some books further crossed-over into old Palladium properties, such as Rifts Sourcebook 2: The Mechanoids (1992) - the third of Palladium's killer cyborgs". [2] : 160 

Reception

Charles Peirce reviewed Rifts Sourcebook Two: The Mechanoids in White Wolf #35 (March/April, 1993), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "this book is worth having based on these pages alone, a very refreshing change in a Rifts product. Even if you disagree, the Mechanoids themselves, new character options (such as Mechanoid PCs), adventures and new character sheets should entice you." [1]
