I always approach mechs more from a symbological POV rather than a purely mechanical view. The dragon mech, for example, can be taken as a triumph of several things.
Mechs are often espoused as a terror weapon, something used to inspire dread in the enemy, in which case taking the form of a terrifying mythological beast makes natural sense.
Additionally, since mechs are, in many ways, a triumph of the 'organic' design over 'artificial' designs (evolution has never produced a tank, or a plane, but it has produced bipedal creatures, and quadrupedal creatures), the dragon embraces that logic by being an apex predator which combines the certainty of steel with the savagery of nature.
And of course, everybody knows that mechs are kingmakers, so why not just skip to the end and make the dragon itself an imperious dragon-emperor?
