It's a full Team going up against a solo Paladin, and they had to spend a lot of effort to chip its systems down one by one until they can defeat it pure melee. They played a bit too much MMORPG maybe, think that a boss needs a gazillion of HP and be basically invincible with a Rage mode on at different stages. That may very well be. Though if something that likely cost the equivalent of several million dollars can be brute force punched out by one not even completely trained girl then what is the point of even making them? Sure you can make them faster, but that isn't going to do you much good when they only last a couple of minutes in battle. I don't know how Ironwood managed to convince his government or private backers (whichever Ironwood uses) to actually pay for them if that's the case. Why not simply make more combat schools and some sort of incentives program to encourage people to join?

Also, the thermal shock theory spreads the effort over the whole team, rather then everyone just being a distraction while Yang does all the heavy lifting.
