Why not do both? Have her inside battle armor mech suit, jump down from a building and introduce as she presses buttons on a remote in her suit's arm... That way she's not in any actual danger, it's not boring and she can safely control it via remote with little to no interference and with little worry of it getting hijacked.

I can only imagine mechs as what can only be described as "Gundam suit(s) with bazookas for hands."
