Cybernetic Gunner Base Class conversion

[The Magnet Technician]

All right, I was on Giant in the Playground looking for good homebrews, and I found this gem. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6038663

I've been working on a modern Pathfinder campaign based partially off of Mega Man X, so I was rather excited about this; however, I've been wanting to convert it to a base class without it being overpowered, mainly because the Prestige class requires certain things that aren't available in my setting. Anyone have any suggestions on how I could do it?

And you need mega man in a D&D game? AND you need it balanced? I am curious why. I like the system too so i understand wanting to stay within it, but why not a system that caters to sci fi?

why not, if you prefer one rule set why do a complete change for a little bit of thematic difference. I mean heck robot is an existing sub-type.

Pretty much this. Plus, somebody I was GMing for told me that it couldn't be done and be balanced: hence, the thread.

Then it might be time for a road trip to Numeria.
