One suggestion though, add more armour to the front. The mecha has a lot of

Yes, it somewhat looks like a converted civilian model
or test prototype with the seeming gaps in frontal armor protection.
Light mecha rely on speed for protection but
their ease of deployment will likely put them on "peace keeping"
missions where they would encounter small arms fire,
molotov cocktails, pointed sticks, hurled chunks of stale spamcake...

Yeah. But if I had covered the pilot completely it would bulk up the front
more than I'd like.

But such practical considerations don't keep it from looking cool :-)
Clever parts usage.

Thanks. :^)
