Mecha good idea and bad idea
Just for fun, we make a list of all the mecha related good ideas and bad ideas. It goes something like this.
Mecha with cockpit in the body, good idea.
Mecha with cockpit in the head, bad idea.
It's only based person option, so no right or wrong. :)

Mecha w/ large, weight dispersing, footplates- Good (Gundam Patlabor)
Mecha w/ sharp pointy heels and toes- Bad (FSS BGC)
(Don't get me wrong, I love Mortar Headd, but as good as they look, MH would punch holes in what ever ground they walked on. All the speed and manaueverability in the world won't do you a lot of good when you're leg is stuck in the sewer up to it's knee)
Single form, Simple construction dedicated task Mecha- Good (Destroids)
Multi form, complex construction, transforming Mecha- Bad (MS-06Z, VF)
(Once again I have to rag on my preferred Mecha type- transforming mecha like variable fighters would simply be a waste of money- a much more complex RD process for a vehicle which would not be an efficient aircraft because of all the extra weight and transform servoes- wouldn't be durable- all those small hinges and pivots can only be so strong- and would never be able to fight- If a relatively simple aircraft like an A-10 is grounded for maintence 1 week in every 5- imagine how long a VF would be sitting in the hanger, waiting for that all important transforming cog)
If I think of anything else- I'll post later
