Characteristics[]
A diagram of Shinden
The Type 17EX Shinden is closely related to the Type 17 Raiden, but features improvements based on lessons learned with the earlier model. There are many subtle changes throughout the unit. The armor has been redistributed to better protect the limbs and especially the joints. The relatively delicate hands have been upgraded with a knuckle duster. Normally stored on the back of of the hand, the knuckle dusters pivot to guard the face of the fist. While a significant improvement, the Shinden's fist is still ill suited as a striking weapon.
The most significant change was an upgrade to the battery system. Unlike the Raiden's 60 minute operational time, the Shinden can function for up to 36 hours. Unfortunately, attempts to help the pilots cope with the stress of operating a TA for such extended periods of time proved unsuccessful. [1]
