I'd call these origami mechs. Small, intricate, beautiful.
There was one mech where a SW Battle Droid body was used as part of head, very
clever parts use.
When I saw the minifig scale gundam style cockpit cutaways at the bottom the
same size as mine I thought there might be bigger stuff to follow, but I guess
the builder doesn't have enough parts to go beyond micro scale. There's also
more structural engineering involved at the bigger scales. Micro mechs can
gleefully ignore gravity, like origami drifting on the wind.
