Perception wise, it's an old got of a machine, but unlike many models it can take a hit and get back up, it just hasn't got the best weapon systems for countering other MECH suits. It's able to go a good speeds not super fast but good. The Perk it has more than others is the pack animal design. It works well in groups for flanking opponents.

I'd recommend looking at some of the MECH's from Full Metal Panic. An old series but I loved the style back at college. https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=-iWFB2HtPSw

Not sure if the link will work, this tablet isnt great for this kind of thing. But if you get a chance to see the older design booting up in episode 5 or 6 that's generally what the Jaeger is meant to he like. Solid and reliable if not a little old school.

The MECH the the bows styled on gundum just seemed a bit odd to me. It's not my MECH so I won't stop the idea, I just work on story boarding rule that the more real a story feels, the more ridiculous is can get. So lasers, aliens from Venus and such, can work but something real has to be there to back it up. A bit like your monthian reactors. They're sci fi, but they aren't ridiculous to a point of magic God powers. One of the things that drew me to your rp actually lol.

As for my own style of scene. I'm a fan of FMP and games like gears and halo. So I like real with a slice of crazy science. Que the evil laugh, MWAHAHAHAA!!
