The system for weight and weapons seems a bit flawed. Truthfully, a heavy mech can be just as maneuverable as a smaller one while still carrying more weapons, it all depends on how it's built.

While I agree with you on that principle in a overarching sense (as in if this was bound to reality). However in the intrests of keeping things fair and within the bounds of the RP I'm still going to have to ask you to pick and chose. 
The problem is, is that if the Gm or myself makes an exception for you, others will use it as an example to justify having a even more OP mech and thus this will enter a downward spiral in to the realms of (pardon my french) a total clusterfuck where its whoever can justify the most OP mech going. Don't take this as a personal attack, I am simply explaining the position that I'm taking. Simply put if we can justify anything we want through a 'correctly built mech' and having 'advanced tech' I might as well just Say that I'm part of some underground organization who's found el-diablo and a treasure trove of alien tech and that this is my mech;
[img=http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p565/American_Templar/axe_mech_robot.jpg] 
the armour is a autoreactive ailen alloy which weighs almost nothing, auto-regenerates, can take a nuke to the face and shrug it off, the mace is a power mace which is energized to rip through any armour what so ever, those nodes on the back are twin tezla cannons with energized plasma jet capabilites, allowing unlimited almost light speed flight, getting hit by the tezla cannons deactivates your frame for about 5 minutes, oh and the mace doubles as a plasma cannon. and I can justify this because I'm renegade from a underground group that has found ailen tech. 

See? now I agree this is MASSIVELY over the top but as soon as someone can justify a way round the rules or manage to wave the way the path is clear for other people to do the same and go even further. and this causes problems because we can't stop one later down the line without stopping the others. so I'd rather explain this all now so that you can see my point and where I'm coming from rather than having to deal with some knumbnuts further down the line who's got some class ten mech that can teleport. or some asshattery like that.
