Can I direct you to Battletech for some inspiration?

Either way, hello.

Edit: Just saying it sounds like a mercenary group in the Inner Sphere of the Battletech Universe. Less fighting more exploring, perhaps.

I'm well aware of Battletech, but I wanted to run my own original setting with non-human characters in it. And more anime style than Battletech's walking tanks. The transforming mecha was one of the big draws for me, and they're perilously rare in Battletech, to the point that the fanbase is quite divided over the fact they should even exist or not. 
I appreciate the thought though.

Similar idea, feel free to steal it:

tl;dr: WW1 mechs being orbital-dropped from airships and manned by catgirl/monster-girl infantry.

Not really something I'm interested in, but thanks anyway
