Mark Neumann has a very good explanation on his page:
http://home.attbi.com/~ravenswolfmk/mech/mech.htm
mech = anything here: http://www.legomc.com/
mecha = http://www3.sympatico.ca/mladenpejic/Mecha.htm

are usually more sleek in comparison.
I'm guessing that the plural form of "mech" would be "mechs", but I could be
wrong. The plural of "mecha" is "mecha".
