About the weaknesses of the Kats we have seen this far:

1) Nilokeras: Absolute defense, but can't cover its feet and has to leave a fairly large spot open as well. Also, since it also absorbs light the pilot needs to rely on external cameras, And for the record, Trillram would NOT survive the meteor bombardment since the shockwaves affect his full

2) Argyre: Powerful blade, but has no special abilities beyond the two blades.

3) Hellas: Fists need to open up their "single molecule structure" to move the fingers. Additionally is the engine vulnerable too because since it needs moving parts to be functional it can't be transformed into that single molecule. Also, while she transforms into "missile mode" she is essentially immobile and can't have that "single molecule mode" active either, meaning she is totally helpless against snipers in these few seconds.

4) "Electric Kataphract"- appears to utilize the induction effect to stop/slow down bullets before they hit it. Downsides: It only works on metal ammo plus it is vulnerable to ambushes to below. Also, it doesn't look really fast to me.

5) "Tentacle Kataphract" Only suitable for urban warfare. Sure, it can probably use these tentacles to form a shield, but it is extremely vulnerable to attacks from a safe range.

6) "Laser Kataphract" this one will probably be the hardest one to beat. From the looks of it it would be quite nimble and approaching it is also pretty much impossible because of its ranged capabilities. The only way to defeat it would be a coordinated effort with a decoy from the front and a sniper from behind.

7) "Saazbaum Kataphract". Appears to have a blade similar to the one used by Argyre and can transform into jet mode like Hellas, but it is very vulnerable during transformation INTO jet mode.

And on top of that, pretty much all of them are screwed if their Sky carrier gets shot down while they are in midair.
