The Main Body is armored and resistant to attacks, however they need to vent off excess heat, exposing a vulnerable system when they do.<ref name=mb/> Although more susceptible to weapons fire, the Command Module is protected by an energy shield composed of light or dark energy that can repel most attacks. These shields can be overloaded with beams of the opposite polarity however.<ref name=cm/> If the Main Body of a Quad is destroyed, the surviving Command Module can seek out an unused body and attach it. Likewise, if a Command Module is destroyed, the Main Body is capable of sending out signals to any nearby Command Modules for replacement. | The Main Body is armored and resistant to attacks, however they need to vent off excess heat, exposing a vulnerable system when they do.<ref name=mb/> Although more susceptible to weapons fire, the Command Module is protected by an energy shield composed of light or dark energy that can repel most attacks.
