If it is going to be that big, then surely it will begin to feel the ill
effects of it's own weight. I think it would be easily destroyed by a hit
in the leg joints for example, because they are not overly large, and they
are supporting so much force. The same argument isn't as strong for smaler
titans.
Besides, 12 void shields 24 dam, with a 6+ save is obscene.
