That's a pretty tightly-written set of rules, if only everyone could keep their
Lego games so concise. Three comments:
The range table divides stats between mechs and vehicles - this seems
unnecessary, since (a) their stats are (almost) identical, apart from the fact
that mechs can have melee weapons and vehicles can't, and (b) it almost seems
like vehicles aren't really part of this game? Or have they just not gotten a
Record Sheet yet?
At first glance I thought there might be too many random elements in the mech
creation process, but on a second look I see that the variation isn't so extreme
as to be unbalancing. On thing I wouldn't mind seeing, though, is just a little
more room for design variation - I'd want the option to take one of the Armor
Points dice and use it for Movement or Attack+Defense instead.
Lastly, it looks like the rules are pretty consistent, but on my first
read-through I had to do a lot of searching between where certain game stats are
introduced and where their actual effects are explained - I wouldn't mind a
small introductory section with 'these are your bonuses and this is what they
mean; this is a heat marker and this is what it represents;' etc.
