The Darkstalkers series has Huitzil, the killer Mayan robot who was originally a sub-boss before becoming playable in later games. One of the most formidable attacks he had as a sub-boss in the first game was his laser which would chip away at you over and over again if you tried to block it, leading to more damage than if it had actually hit. Of course that was toned down once he became playable.

While the Tinker Tub is more memorable, Risky Boots had spent the entire first game building this thing here.

Binary Domain is one of the greatest /m/ games ever made, and it has a lot of amazing bosses. My favorite is the Tsar Runner, a giant robot snake motorcycle that transforms into a rollerblading snakeman.

When did they add mechs to SK? I only played the first 3DS game.

The 3ds games had some enemy robots, but in Estival Versus they actually added some small mechs you can mount, and PBS has them too. There's not really much advantage on using them, but are a nice little detail.

The first one is The Pilgrim's Progress, which isn't much of an /m/ game. The other is The Desolate Hope, which is definitely /m/. It's free on Steam. Both were made by Scott Cawthon of Five Nights at Freddy's fame, but don't play like those games at all.

Making a 3D game involving mecha for fun and wondering something. Is there a manifesto somewhere on good mecha design?

Also asking for general design advice/things to avoid.

So far I've planned to have Mark I and II genera-purpose exoskeletons (2~3x human size), a multi-purpose industrial model (detachable drill/crane/other stuff and caterpillar/inchworm-style tank track movement), and a knight class somewhat similar to the beginning mech in Metal Warriors.
