[@Aristo] Yeah, absolutely feel free to go hog wild on the military tech details. Notes would be the perfect place for that sort of thing. 

Like you say, mecha are by no means realistic, but I am aiming for something more “grounded.” Like a midway between a modern tank and a gundam. Obviously with some extra liberties taken(like some using swords, or blades claws). 

And hey, if you liked the first Titanfall, I cannot recommend Titanfall 2 highly enough.
