All the more reason to test on the test server; the actual defensive capabilities of the automaton once all of the changes have gone into effect--as you pointed out; adding "additional" buffs to defense via Protect or magic def. via Shell etc. may be a bit much with the revamped attachments... so we'll have to wait and see.
