Nope, that's perfect. I'm not expecting it to be able to survive indefinitely, so long as it doesn't split in half after the first attack, it should be just enough to block off a few blows.

Thx

Oh and I've decided to post up my gundam's specs since I'm taking so long at drawing it. ^_^;
Feel free to tell me what you think about it, wether it be good or bad:

Tentative name: Pandora Gundam

Specs:
Height: 18 meters
Weight: 62.38 tons on full load, without moduals. 58.6 without shields, removable weapons and without missile payload.
Power Source: Nuclear
Creator: Ravensbane R&D
Allegiance: Deadlink
Armor: Phase Shift

Armaments:
MMI-GAU27D 31mm CIWS Fire-Linked x 2 (Head Machine Guns)
MPCM-220 Cluster missile pack located in chest. 20 small low yeld, high pierce missiles
M02G Super Lacerta x 2 (Hip Beam Sabers)
MMI-M15E Xiphias 3 Rail Cannon x 2 (Hip Railguns)
EBR-01 (Mobile Shield with beam reflective surface and release clip)
MX2200-B Beam Shield (External Beam Shield with release clip)
MA-M28KFB High-Energy Beam Rifle x 2 (Beam Rifle similar to that of the Strike Freedom's, but with solid blade attachements running under them.)
RQM55 Shining Edge Beam Boomerang (Beam Boomerang)
Custom grapple style Heat Rod x 2 (More like an elecrified grapling hook then your standard thick shft heat rod. Less control, but added range and versatility.)

Special atributes:
This unit is compatible with a number of external moduals which enhance it's general combat aptitudes though it's already a formidable unit without any equiped. This allows it to have maximum versatility and a nearly limitless potential. Most of these moduals are equiped with diferant variations of funnels, not to be mistaken with Dragoons. There are also a few non-newtype friendly moduals from early in the unit's development.

Due to it's light and agile design, it benefits from nearly unrivaled agility and mobility on land, though this is diminished or completely canceled out when it has a full weapon loadout or if it uses any of it's moduals. (If you wonder what I mean by agile, think Ful Metal Panic agile. Well, probably not as much, but trying hard to make it up to those standards.)

Unfortunately, this unit is incapable of achieving sustained flight on it's own as to equip all of it's weapons and keep it lighter then average machines, a main thruster could not be instaled. It still has all of the nessessary verniaes for spacial combat and can use it's leg thrusters for short range flight. The removal of the main thruster has also made it less taxing on the energy suply, resolving previous energy consumption issues.

Both shields are removable and could be used on either arm of the gundam, though the beam reflective shield is made in extremely limited quantities as this technology was disclosed to the Ravensbane R&D department too recently.
