DESCRIPTION
The Changeling was a droid body designed after the reawakening of Ultimatum for the purpose of being his primary body. Unlike previous creations of Ultimatum, this body was intended to be enduring. Most of Ultimatum's early bodies were made to eventually be replaced as technology advanced. The Changeling was built with the purpose of being upgraded and maintained as the primary body as long as possible.
With a skeleton of Durasteel and Bronzium, the droid is capable of resisting electronic weapons, by transferring the energy from such weapons to a ground point, usually its feet. This is assuming that the droid is standing on its feet, and that the feet are touching a ground, which can be just about anything as long as it would absorb a charge. If the robot is in contact with a ground, whether it be hand, foot, or head, the electricty should be able to follow the skeleton to the ground rather than eletrocute the droid. If the robot is not in contact with a ground, then the immunity is basically nonexistant, as the excess power does not have an external ground to easily flow to. Further, the thin Durasteel skin offers little protection to more conventional weapons. Most of the body's space is filled with components intended for computing and processing power. The droid is capable of working through inordinate amounts of stimuli and computations. The main purpose Ultimatum had behind it was to be capable of designing new inventions on a far larger scale than most of his previous attempts. To ensure its survival, Ultimatum planned to create suits and armors for the droid. This would require that it be able to connect and interface with these armors and therefore more processing power was pushed into it, to allow this.
Unfortunately, the focus on mental capacity has left a definite weakness in the physical capabiltieis. With no advantage over the strength or speed of the average human, the droid is reliant on outsmarting or other people to defend it against potential threats.

Heavy resistance to Ionic weapons

With a skeleton of Durasteel and Bronzium, the droid is capable of resisting electronic weapons

Material: Bronzium, Durasteel, Gold, Xylen, Components

Gold is a conductor, bronzium doesn't resist ion damage (it's used in most droid chassis), durasteel doesn't resist ion damage (most ships are made of durasteel), Xylen is used to make droid chips (or was) and doesn't resist ion damage.

You're making a droid out of all the standard components, then tacking on a resistance to something that all droids share a weakness to with no actual discernible features that provide this weakness. I would suggest finding a material which is resistant to ion damage, or otherwise finding a feature that would provide this resistance, as a durasteel and bronzium skeleton is not going to be doing that.

Apologies, I forgot to write in the usual piece that I tend to put in there for that. I've used on other droid submissions before.

Is that better?

So it acts as a faraday cage?

 

[Ultimatum]

Reading about faraday cages, I believe it is similar in concept. I would not say they are the same, but akin to one another.

Elaborate on the grounding aspect of the skeleton in regards to the grounding effect and that should be fine.

 

[Ultimatum]

I believe this is what you were requesting, correct me if I am wrong.

This is assuming that the droid is standing on its feet, and that the feet are touching a ground, which can be just about anything as long as it would absorb a charge. If the robot is in contact with a ground, whether it be hand, foot, or head, the electricty should be able to follow the skeleton to the ground rather than eletrocute the droid. If the robot is not in contact with a ground, then the immunity is basically nonexistant, as the excess power does not have an external ground to easily flow to.

I mean in the strengths, elaborate upon the strength that mentions ion/electrical weapon resistance.

Heavy resistance to Ionic weapons

Here.

A simple blurb, (i.e; When the droid is in contact with another surface electricity and ionic charges will be grounded by the conductive skeleton, a resistance which is lost when not in physical contact with another surface to ground with.), will suffice.

 

[Ultimatum]

Ah, my bad. Here I added the following to Strengths and Weaknesses, respectively:

When in contact with a ground, droid conducts most electronic weaponry fire to ground

Resistance to electronic weaponry is lost when droid is no longer in contact with a ground

That better?
