This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
- A mech is a piece of technology in the Crossovers franchise.
A mech (sometimes also called a battle suit) is a transforming robot operated by a human or humanoid. There are many different designs, and their alt-modes range from motorcycles to space stations.
Fiction
Star Wars Transformers toy bios
During the Clone Wars,[1] technology was developed that allowed vehicles to "morph" into a vaguely humanoid "mech mode."[2] In some cases, this transformation was guided (perhaps even created) by the use of the Force.[3] In others, it was a more standard push-button affair.[4] Both the Republic fighters[1] and the Separatists[5] employed this technology, and even bounty hunters[6] got in on it. It also featured in the war between the Empire[4] and the Rebellion,[2] again by both sides.
Marvel Crossovers toy bios
Mr. Fantastic and Iron Man used alien technology to create mechs for their fellow superheroes.[7] In response, the villain Doctor Doom created battle suits for Venom and Carnage.[8]

Notes
- Many of the Star Wars bios are worded in a way that sounds as though the characters themselves are turning into spaceships. However, several others make a distinction between the character and the vehicle, and all of those toys come with mini-figures of the actual pilots/drivers. (In contrast, the Marvel bios are unambiguous about the mechs being mere suits, but no pilot/driver figures are included.)
