Hm, to be honest I generally think melee-focused Mechanoids need more love. And more Mechanoids need shields, because it fits perfectly with how they already feel.

Other than that, I'd be highly amused by mechs that use the VWE Coilguns mechanic of "shoot straight through your walls".

I might just be a bit of a masochist though.

Im waiting on permission for some mod creators to use some abilities from their mods, its the only reason my cryo mechs are delayed at this time. My ice diabolus ideas are coming to life, i will look into the ideas you mentioned too! I do want more variety in mech raids
