I think everything is fine as long we don't overdo it (ok, one of you confess now, who actually build a 1:1 valk at home complete with a working nuclear reactor).
I agree with Mr.March, statistic and all can show that a mecha is more than a mecha and also giving some pure nerd a job to do. Since everything on this discussion is purely science fiction I think is ok for everyone to pour their thoughts as long its fits with (macross world) logic .
So people, can we get back at discussing Frontier era's mecha?
Btw, talking about stat and number, I wonder why member never asked the stat on the girls on Frontier
