Trivia

Of all the mechs, there are a few that are debatably the best standard stat-wise

• The thruster mech and the drill mech both have 3 health, 4 move, and flying, making them the best flying mechs
• The judo mech has 3 health, 4 move, and armored; better than the hook mech with 3 move. This is the best armored mech
• The pitcher mech has 4 health and 4 move, giving it the highest health value of any mech
