A Mech is a large vehicle or robot, usually humanoid, that can be used for either use for military or civilian use, usually operated by a pilot inside a cockpit. Mechs are generally, though not necessarily, bipedal, with arms, hands, and fingers capable of grasping objects. A mecha that approximates the shape of a human body allows the use of martial arts movements and swordsmanship, ceremonial acts of honor, saluting, and other human mannerisms that cannot be performed using a tank or airplane.
Any type of large machinery that uses mech technology is concidered mobile armor or a walker.

Types of Mechs
Mobile Suit
Mobile suits are the most popular and most numerous type of a mech. As humanoid combat vehicles, they typically employing two arms to deploy or weild weapons, two legs and a jetpack for propulsion agility, and a head that acts as a main camera and sometimes houses a secondary weapon that acts as a rotating turret (with the head itself providing the rotation). Typically speaking, a mobile suit is approximately around between 40 to 60 feet in height, with a cockpit located in the unit's torso. However, exceptions are not uncommon; units that are much larger or slightly smaller are not unheard of, and occasionally the cockpit is located in the head, as well. The name "mobile suit" is believed to be a combination of the terms "Mobile Infantry" and "powered armor suit" when Darkcorp first made one. They are generally used for their versatility, with many models being usable in a wide variety of environments; from inside space colonies, outer space, ground, and even occasionally underwater or in mid-air.
They have many roles, military combat, utility work such as maintinence and construction, police duties, and rescue.
They stated off as exclusive Darkcorp weapons to used for their personal armies, PMCs. Due to major flaws, they can't used in the battlefield or sold to clients. After the Sneeziers merged, Sneezier himself used the mobile suit information and gave a copy to Star World Yards and build a few for himself to a lesser extent, his fellow YB members. His sucessful mobile suit is the E-Frame Y-Mech, the first Y-Mech Mobile Suit series while the SWDF created the Jegan MK.I which will be the template for the Jegan series. Eventually, the technology became less flawed as it become mainstreamed within the entire Galactic Cluster. The Galactic Federation eventually made their own versions of the Jegan Mobile Suit Series as well as the Cyber Bell Vanguard made advanced models. Other factions also made them to even the odds against them. Orks looted parts to make "Mekkaz" but originally pilot Rick Dias models in the C'tan Wars. Space Pirates made one to resemble their their soldiers, the Carnix. Vhozon made Strike Vanishers and Wraithlords, extremely quick and deadly models with weak armor with some having a soul of a slain warrior.
Recently, Star World Colonists led by Sneezier discovered ancient yet advanced mobile suits inside a Celestial Architect city thus the precursors are the first creators of the mobile suits to combat the Necrons.
Mobile Armor
Mobile Armors are special mecha that are like mobile suits in technology and operation, but vary tremendously in design. Mobile armors are almost always significantly larger than mobile suits, and non-humanoid in appearance as well. Due to their larger size, they frequently equip ship-grade energy sources than other vehicles, giving them the ability to mount more energy-intensive equipment such as large directed-energy weapons or powerful defensive systems. Their large size also makes them capable of using equipment that is too bulky to fit into mobile suits.
Due to high costs in monetary and resources, they are often experimental units or limited production ones so making them in large number is almost impossible. Another drawback of MAs is, they can only do combat missions because some do not have humanoid arms or too large in size to complete certain tasks. Mobile suits, however, can be used for construction work or carry ammunation and materials over short distances in a ship or a base.
Slike and Dr. Eggman tends to favor mobile armors for their world conquests while the Metal Army uses automated versions that achive better results in the frontlines such as the Neo Apocalypse bomber.
