mech
Giant combat suit
A mech is a large robotic vehicle piloted from inside, typically humanoid in shape and equipped with weapons.
The term comes from science fiction and video games, where mechs serve as war machines: The pilot climbed into the mech's cockpit.
In gaming, mech often refers to the genre featuring such vehicles.
As shorthand for mechanic or mechanical, mech appears in compound forms: mech keyboard (mechanical keyboard), the mech said my transmission was shot.
