Nevertheless, I'd be interested to hear what you'd have done.

No. Like I said earlier, I've had virtually no exposure to mecha apart from
what I've seen here, and seeing a few episodes of Transformers in the early
eighties. I should look up a few I guess, but I sort of like designing
without any preconceptions.

Au contrare. I'd be flattered. In fact I initially built them with a much
larger gorilla type mech in mind. I had this beautiful forearm based on the
human skeleton. It was two 12 long technic axles with ball joints at both
the wrist and elbow. It mimiced natural movement really well, but was a
bugger to cover and the ball joints weren't stiff enough so it went to the
back burner.
While I've got no intention of CADding this model, I was thinking of at
least doing the hands. Anyone interested?
