I think a mech should be defined as a single occupant Environmental Combat Suit regardless of its shape or form of mobility. Thinking various 'suits' could be tailored specifically to roles, from bipedal and quadripedal to tanks and wheeled vehicles. Weight requirements would fit significantly into the form somewhat similar to how Chromehounds and Armored Core. |
Hm. I'm not sure calling tanks, etc, mechs is the best idea.
As things are supposed to be more tactical rather than twitch, and henchmen/pets were one of the target features listed in the wiki, why not make tanks/other more "normal" combat vehicles fill that role?
Though, that's a bit off topic of defining mech.
Legs, etc, should be rather free ranging, in my opinion - I think the division is that they don't use tracks or wheels, but rather legs period, no matter how many that may be.
