Variation on the theme. Originally very much larger than a ~70 ton 
mechs based on my recollection of the scales of various mechs from 
battle tech and the originating source Super Dimensional Fortress 
Macross.

I always wanted to build a Mech for Battle Tech based on the Destroid 
Monster with 3 power plants, a three man cockpit and the 4 Long Toms 
and 6 ER PPCs or something suitably larger. If you look at the 
Destroid Monster there are even some very large vents on the back 
that would make a great argument for a massive array of heat sincs. 
The cost would be enormous. Great for taking out Dropships....

Then there is
http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/yellowsub/ys_monstersize.jpg

That's in scale iirc from the macross mecha drawings for 
pre-production. ie in scale to the Defender/Rifleman, Spartan/Archer, 
Phalanx/Longbow, Tomahawk/Warhammer, Tactical Pod Glaug/Maruader 
Macross/BattleTech Mechs. I figure a Monster would be somewhere in 
the range of a 500 ton mech, more on the scope of an Anti-Drop Ship 
craft with massive weapons.
