Detre's not necesarily a heavy weight. I mean, yeah, he's basically a bi-pedal arsenal, upgradeable with just about anything small enough to fit on his hardpoints, and he also carries his own weapons, but he's also surprisingly nimble and light for something covered in pretty strong metal and shileding.
He's no Jedi, but thanks to his mostly droid body, going up against him is like going up against general grievous, minus the naval strategy, extra two arms, and four lightsabers.
Best way to take out Detre is to fry him whenever he's not carrying an EMP shield (which likely will never occur, unless you destroy the one he carries with him), or blast him with a heat-seeker or two.

Or cut off his head. That usually works.

I think having a stun buton hit him would also work, anything that directly delivers electricity through direct contact would bypass the DEMP shield he's got.

Cale Darksun And what happens when the finalist bouts are broadcasted? She'll be in full body armor and under an alias. The only people that can identify her in the stadium would be Link and Bellum.

Compared to a hulking Noghri Cyborg? I still think Calra is the lighter one of the two. She might not be as light as Cale though, I guess she'll be the middle child of the tournament.
EDIT: Whoops, forgot about Iust.

Yeah, but also take into account his reflexes. He's got the best of most worlds: beyond-wookiee strength, almost Jedi-esque agility, combined with his own. And how would you got off his head? And with what? He'd have to be standing still for about 2 minutes before most any melee weapon short of any lightsaber or plasma weapon cut through. He's basically a Darth Vader with much more agility and strength, minus the Force.

He's basically a Darth Vader with much more agility and strength, minus the Force. 2 minutes? That all? I need barely a tenth of that time to perform Sai Cha. Infact, most non force aided swordsmasters can do it in roughly the same amount of time utilizing the ten-uchi technique (which involves two movements-a slice and an arm twist that guides the blade so as to cut through the resistance of the material they're attacking). When viewed, the technique appears to be a single fluid (And swift) movement.

Hell just Calra swinging a pair of electrically charged swords would be pretty effective. Every time she connects Detre's electrical parts get a little shock and he moves a little slower and less controled.
But if Detre connects on Calra... Calra gets knocked down and has to get back up... Pretty evenly matched there.
