(I'm basically thinking of gundams here btw) On ground the legs are structural liabilities that barring some sort of fantasy metal with properties we can't replicate the joints will struggle holding all that weight and maintaining some sort of reasonable speed/mobility. It would just be a big target, that is before considering the energy requirements. Don't get me wrong I think robots are super cool and mecha is one of my favorite anime genres but I can see reality. Come to BattleTech, there are mechs that are build like dozer trucks and handle just the same: https://babeltechreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Untitled-16.jpg <cite>shadowsword87 posted [p:952012814] in Mech Vs.
