I do not see how both images cannot be true. I really like that picture though. Anyway, your mech may be on the lighter side of things, but the tempest will basically be done for if you get in close. It can maybe block a sword strike or two, but I cannot imagine it being able to keep up with a mech with the full range of human movement. As for how you fair against the other two... well, it'll get easier if ever beam swords become a thing, but for now I'm sure they have weaknesses. Bad turn rates almost certainly. Though they may speak to the contrary.
