Just a quick note from my initial once over... that Area of Effect attacks don't require an 'Attack roll' and as such can't be higher then your PL...

So I understand, is Ramshakle a battle suit you wear or a sidekick? As it works out I am assuming he/she/it is a sidekick. And if this is the case, I am also not sure why Felix would want Interpose as an Advantage with only a +2 Toughness.

IF its a battlesuit I think we need to write it up differently as you don't act and your battle suit act in the same round... make sense? So you can't 'wear' the suit and have a 20 Defense (from Felix) and a +12 Toughness (from Ramshakle).

If the Shadow wants to ask around with the Russian Mob he can make some rules (depending on who he wants to ask and how he wants to go about it)...

So if you have some Russian Bar you want to go and ask around in your secret id I think you would need a Deception check
If you want to go beat up some known members that is going to be a Intimidate check
etc

Its a Mecha, same cost as a side kick: It overrides Felic's stats with its own while in use; So while Felix's dodge is 20, Ramshackle's is only ever 12, the bot is simply too big and heavy to just dodge everything.
(and if it was the other way around, the Dodge would be 20 in the bot and 12 out of it, or that's how I read it)
And so, since the Mech he has a awareness of 10 and not -3: he is much more perceptive in it: Felix has a easy time reading the sensors, that said his Will save, as those attacks/effects are bypassing the Mecha when valid, dos not get better for the boosted stat :/

Also, Mecha Don't have a initiative, they are equipment.
Cars don't have... Mechas do, oh well.
I'll just drop the Awareness by 3 to 7 and add improved initiative 6 so they are both initiative 30.

Hope that makes sense

I don't think that's how Sidekicks work. They're independent beings, not direct augmentations of your own abilities. You could potentially 'ride' a sidekick, like a paladin's mount or something, but you can't replace your stats with the stats of a sidekick.

Otherwise the 1/5 cost becomes potentially abusive.

A battlesuit is bought as powers. If you can be deprived of the suit against your will, you can give it the Removable limit.
