OK ok. It DOES look cool, but it's still really hard for me to care that much about a cartoon army fighting another cartoon army. I just can't wrap my suspension of disbelief around it. See also Droids v Gungans…

Sure, when it comes to balance, some hard drive space is used, but how easy would it be for a few tanks to roll through dense forests, going up against very agile, very cunning, very tall creatures? The bipedal walker has plenty of maneuverability compared to a tracked tank, and is very important when the enemy is so spread out you can't easily just blow them to bits with artillery

I have a problem with mech suits in general… the question is… why? It must require a lot of power, specialized computer sensitivity (to be so well articulated) and it's bipedal: an unreliable (balance wise) orientation if it must constantly shift weight in the way humans do. Hell, a crapload of our brain capacity is used just to maintain and regulate this function because it involves such complex calculations. for all the better ideas out there, I just don't see mech suits mattering in any military-logistic sense.
