Heh... The way he dodges? I doubt he'll get more than scuff marks anywhere. Think of it like the head-guns on a VF-1S Valkyrie. Anything that gets close enough to take them out is probably taking out the entire fighter.
Edit: Someone asked me in-game, "Wait - he's an android, why does he need a helmet in space?"
Rule of cool, man. Rule of cool.
Though I suppose I -could- rationalize by saying that he has as part of his cooling system an air exchange that uses his mouth and nostrils like a human. I've already Role-played several times in-game about "Shoulder Vents popping" and venting steam as an emergency measure. The backpack and helmet might simply be useful as an addition to his cooling system in space.
Though he probably COULD work without it. It just would make things more difficult and he'd overheat faster.
There - now it's all "science-y".
I now invoke Bellisario's Maxim: "Don't examine this too closely." ^_^
