Two of the arms can be folded into their backs when in transit-mode. Some Mega Mechs are capable of switching from plasma cannons to flamethrowers. A third set of 'arms' located in between the cannons are used as rocket launchers. They are equipped with two shoulder mounted plasma cannons and two on their lower 'arms'. Mega Mechs, in contrast, possess nothing but guns at the ends of each of their arms - they are designed for pure combat. Standard mechs only possess one gun-arm, the other arm ending in a manipulator-hand so they can be used in scouting missions. It has the same bipedal stature as a regular mech but is overall far more menacing in appearance.

The Mega Mech is much more powerful than a regular mech and much harder to destroy. Like standard Mechs, Mega Mechs were created by the Espheni and have likely been used in battle against other alien races such as the Volm, explaining their familiarity with the Mega Mech.Ī Mega Mech is twice as tall as a regular mech but contains the same metallic color as a mech. With the destruction of the Espheni Power Station, Mega Mech's now have just enough power running through them to stand up.

Mega Mechs seem quite rare but become more common as the series progresses. They are saved however by the timely arrival of Tom and Cochise who destroy both Mechs with repeated hits from their Volm-tech weapons.

They are first encountered by the Second Mass during an otherwise normal resistance raid, despite initial success the resistance are ambushed from behind when two Mega Mechs emerge from the ground and attack killing multiple resistance members whose weapons have no effects on the Mechs. They are usually reserved for species more advanced than humans, but due to the continued success of the human forces they have been put to use. The Mega Mech was largely unseen through most of the war, and was brought out in season 3 to engage the Global Resistance.
