[@TreasureSniper]I don't like to nitpick, but I have to express a tiny bit of concern with the Vermilion Gundam. Its blade can cut through other [i]beam sabers[/i], rendering victory in melee combat a near-certainty; the "Vermilion Touch" system has no defense - it can blast right through solid armor, and both beam fields and I-fields. It and the shield can absorb (which is a neat gimmick, I suppose) and completely nullify beam attacks without losing integrity.

Put all this together and I'm a little wary about considering the machine OP. I guess it comes down to how you use it IC - is the "Vermilion Touch" really as powerful as you make it out to be, and is there a limit to what it and the shield can withstand? With a beam-negating sword like that, you'd pretty much breeze through any melee encounter, and I assume it also goes right through beam shields and I-fields.
