So, yes, this is exactly how I'm thinking about it. (WWI up there is really erroneous. I was thinking about WWII stuff, then got pontificating about the origins of the tank, when really, you're right, it's WWII I'm thinking about).
Gundam and Battletech mecha, btw, weigh in at around 50 tons. Which is incredible, since the M1 Abrams weighs 65. So, you'd think with these incredibly lightweight materials, other things would have changed, too.
Don't forget, Sydney: these things all have to be visible attachments on the mecha. Whatever the scale (it's vague when we play, but if we put some guys down for scale, it would be more concrete), a guy with a duffel bag full of tiny airplanes is too small to represent in Mechaton. And besides, what you want is really a drone with nothing but one yellow die.
....
heh. hm.
V., I wanna try this. One Green, one Yellow, No Whites. And they come by the dozen. This could work for the GitS-themed game I was talking about. Fuchis, minifigs, and these little drones.
