mechs

Giant combat robots

Mechs is the plural of mech, short for mech suit or mechanical suit—a large robotic exoskeleton piloted by a human operator from inside.

The concept comes from science fiction and anime, where mechs appear as walking war machines: The game lets you customize your mechs with different weapons.

In gaming and fiction, mechs range from realistic military hardware to fantastical giant robots.
