The projected performance of the Bulwark Project exceeded the estimates of the other Larkinson expert mechs.
It performed well in each of the concepts that its design centered around.
As a dedicated defensive mech, its ability to withstand damage was incredible. The core of its physical defenses lay in its armor system, which was predominantly made up of Unending alloy. The mech was also clad with supplementary armor layers that were mostly geared towards absorbing concussive blows.
Even though the other Larkinson expert mechs were clad in Unending alloy as well, the Bulwark Project was an entirely different beast. It dedicated more capacity than anything else to increase its ability to resist both physical and energy attacks.
Not even the Amaranto's maximum-powered shot should be able to penetrate the defenses of the Shield of Samar in a single round!
