Well, I was going to note it yesterday, but AV1 makes you entirely "brawl" 
proof.  For the cost of a relatively cheap coverall suit of Junker AV1, you 
could suit up, wander into the Dive in Junkyard, get into brawls with those 
6d12+12 Cyborgs, and watch all their blows bounce off of you... :)

All you have to worrry about (sort of) is the Durability checks.
