Key Gimmick: Shield Pliers Unit
The Shield Pliers Unit defines this kit. These massive pliers feature a fully functional deployment gimmick, allowing them to open and close seamlessly. The front of the shoulder armor moves independently to ensure the arms have a full range of motion despite the bulk of the equipment.
