The mecha were not sturdy structures, but they were still mecha.
They were armor that prized the ease of getting inside and maintaining some speed, with small tanks in a compartment behind their backs. The iron and brass frames had only hind legs, like that of a velociraptor, with inverted, exposed joints. The men piloting the machines of destruction had the option of using mechanical arms or their own, and most did the latter, to maneuver their rifles with more accuracy. Their mechas didn't have as much autonomy, which made Glax suspect they weren't powered by steam alone. Were the Prometheans actively using the antichor for their weapons?
