(...) All I'd add to that is battle armor (slightly larger than human, exoskeleton armor basically) and Super heavy/Assault Mech(a) (Walking fortresses). Rule of thumb; small=fast big=slow.

(...) These are also well known as powersuits or power armor. These were a step up in size from Iran Man's armor. Iron Monger would be a good example of the smallest type of power armor. 12-14 feet tall at the highest. Chicken walkers like the AT-ST (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
