This ain't bad.  You got a pretty workable armature there I think.  More basic
than Gla Gla's but easier for the average Lego builder to reproduce I think.
I'd suggest trying to eliminate one of the braces (technic beams)for the arms
and perhaps the legs.  You may want to even consider technic lift arms.
Structure should still be good, strong, and lighter, allowing for more coverings
and/or other appurtances.  (armor, guns, engines, you know, stuff)

To make this mech really work, I think one of two things needs to happen.
Shrink the head and relocate the cockpit, or make the body bigger.  A short
beefy body makes for a grizzly looking mech, and I can see it here.  Lighter up
the arms and legs, shrink the head, and you'll have a real looker.  It's up to
you really.

Build on.
