Hey Rosco! I would say the the terms "Mech" and Mecha" are the same except
for the sytle of the Robot in question. Mark Nuemann put it best by saying :
Mechs are lumbering giant war machines with grease and oil stains.
Mecha are beautiful sculpted creations more ornate in design.
Also, Mech,Mechs, and Mecha are either plural or singluar and refer to a
single entity or class of Robots.
When you use the word "Mecha" as a singular, it not only refers to the
individual Robot but more over it makes reference to the overall type of
Robot being referred to in the convo, or to the mechanized breed.
I guess that's it.
Two (1/2) things to keep in mind if that's confusing.
Mech - Singular
Mechs - Plural - Traditional Battle Machines
Mecha - Plural - Singular - Refers to kind or type can be used for a single
or muliple reference.
