Hmm...As far as I was aware Mech was singular and not indicative of a
specific style; with Mecha being the plural.

Ye Olde Merriam-Webster's dictionary lists Mech. as being the abbreviated
form of Mechanical or Mechanics.

Either way though, Lego or steel, American or Japanese, Blocky, Clunky,
Fluid, or Graceful...we all know what it means.

Its a term usually indicative of robots. Quite a few of which happen to be
very large with tendencies to make things go BOOM!!

Some of them even have funny names like BRAVE GOD KAISER KING MASTER-V!

That's my input, take it as you will =)

Eric and Geordan are right, according to my what I know. A mecha is pretty much a Anime creation, something like a Mobile Suit or Gundam (MS Gundam) or a Labor (Patlabor). A mecha is a term from Battletech/Mechwarrior, and is short for a Battlemech (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
