Another option would be to increase the AI level of your world a little. Imagine that all Mechas possessed a certain level of sentience in their programming and in order to pilot them there had to be a level of "alignment" between the pilot and the AI system. It would make it where the pilot could leave the AI in charge for a while, have the Mecha be increasingly important (almost like a secondary character) and might become more interesting as the narrative progresses. With that being said, I do like the Titan Fall concept buildup wise.

I like mechs more than Powersuits but the kind of mechs I like also tend to not be the mass-produced gundam style models.

So if there are no hyperspace drills and hammers I'm fine going with powersuits and cyborgs

What mechs are available if we do go that route? I know we have the whole light, medium, heavy types but is any design available?

I'll hunt down some example designs, but if your character has done some custom work on how his mech looks, I'm A-Okay with that.

Also you watch too much TTGL, Onime

Warning: I didn't take the time to scale these, so opening some of these may stretch the screen. Apologies if so.

If you added a helmet to this could it be a suit, or would it be more like Police Riot Gear?

Would this be a good reference for the three sizes of suits?

Would this count as a medium or a heavy?

Does something like this have enough pieces to be considered a suit of any type?

The game series this is from has this being a bit taller than human height. Would that be too heavy even for the bigger classes? Should it be a full blown mech?

Again, would this be an actual suit, or more like plain body armor?

Would these be suitable references for the framework of a mech and a suit, respectively? Would attaching chasis, weapons, etc to this produce the right kind of height, proportions, etc?

1. Yes, that would be more like a police officer

2. Light and Medium are too close together, and things will be just a little taller than that. I'll be getting references together, though.

3. We'll be going with larger-styled mechs, so I'm moving on in the questions.

4. You would need to be covering the full body. Practically speaking, have nothing in the middle/abdomen is removing core strength out of the armor suit and will make the whole thing pretty imbalanced and hard to wear.

5. Again, I'll be getting a size comparison together.

6. That's body-armor

7. That first image is really close to how big a Light Mech would be; so just so you know, I won't be dealing with anything HUGE.

Oh okay so we're going full blown gundams except maybe not so big? No more powersuits?

Hmm I'll have to rework my character idea a lot for that I guess.

Alright, so here's the low-down on Exo Suits.

LIGHT Class Mechs stand at 12 feet tall, MEDIUM at 16, and HEAVY at 20.

A Light Mech might look something like this (But not exactly; just the general style. How the mech looks is up to you)

A Medium Mech might look like this

And a Heavy Mech might look like this


If you go on Deviant Art and know how to search, you can find a lot of cool stuff.
