Yeah, if you actually can't remember, incorporating a colored dot is waaaay better than character sheets of any sort, even Lego ones.
I see a lot of ideas here, but it'll be immediately apparent if they're fun or not if you:
a) Play regular ol' Mechaton so you understand it
b) Play your new rules, adding one or two at a time
c) See if it's more fun that way. Note how long it takes to play with the new rules and if you find that they give you new strategic and tactical options, or if they add complexity to decisionmaking without adding new rewards.
Remember: new rules should add new ways to win; new strategic and tactical options without obsolescing old ones.
