Gundam are giant robotic battle machines that have been used to fight
the wars of tomorrow since 1979. I've never seen any of the Gundam
shows, which is odd considering:
1) I am a geek
2) I like robots
3) I like futuristic space wars
This was a "Burning Gundam," so obviously I had to try to burn it. It came
with two swords and a winged jet-pack: these accessories did not seem
to help the Gundam survive. This Gundam endured roughly 13 minutes of
Solar Death Ray, and only sustained moderate damage. I was
impressed, but this was an ultramodern war robot: how could it possibly
triumph in the future if it couldn't withstand today's death ray?
In a strange twist of fate, the Gundam universe
contains something very much like a highly
evolved Solar Death Ray:
the "Solar Flare System"
Here is information on the Solar Flare System  
from www.gundamofficial.com

Solar Flare System: A strategic weapon used by the
Earth Federation Forces in their attack on the space
fortress Solomon. Like the weapon devised by the
ancient inventor Archimedes, this array of mirrors
focuses the sun's light into a single devastating
point, capable of carving through solid rock. The
Solar Flare System consists of four million
individually adjustable mirrors, computer-
coordinated to form an immense lens tens of
kilometers across.

Yeah, right! As if something like that could work!
Thanks to Joseph, Adam, Kev,
and Caleb for suggesting a
Gundam target!
