A rod extends downward on either side, possibly to help stabilize the Shank, and the engines are located along the back section. Shanks are very fragile, and can be destroyed with only a few shots.[1] They can be deployed from Devil Walkers.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many
