And you happen to have one built into your mech? It can't protect the entire machine, only certain internal parts. So unless you have a very special kind of shield built into your armour, bad luck?

If Faraday cages were that easy to employ, every modern vehicle would have one. And while modern cars do act as Faraday cages, they still get shut down by EMP :P

No, it's just that you didn't mention that as a counter measure against EMP.
I was like, "Nuuuuu! He forgot about Faraday Cages!!!!!!"
