So as I understand it Battlemechs are actually on the higher end of the power scale in terms of overall mecha across various 'real robot' genres.
>Armored Cores are slightly faster and more agile, but are far less durable and would quickly be taken apart by their instant lasers
>Tau Battlesuits basically run into the same issue as Armored Cores and are much smaller to boot
>Macross mechs are basically just LAMs that explode the second you scratch them
>Heavy Gear/Armored Trooper VOTOMS are basically just protomechs that explodes the second you scratch them
>Patlabor's mechs are far too fragile to take any kind of serious fire and can't return much fire back at the enemy along with also being pretty slow
>The mechs from Obsolete are basically just cheap exoframes with real life weapons slapped on that would quickly get destroyed by a battlemech
>The Knights and Titans from Warhammer 40k are able to be destroyed by the aforementioned Tau Battlesuits so they can't be all that powerful either
