Pushing the power armor to a more extreme insectile look. These probably wouldn't have human pilots--if they did, they'd be some sort of evolved post-human.
Well, I was thinking that these things are more on the alien side, rather than human, and so I'd probably like them to be around 15 feet tall, if not closer to 20.
or these could operate like angel wings, attaching to the back with your "dangly bits" being manipulators patched into the spinal cord with full range of motion. That way, even though your force field is meant for motion, it could be used for personal defense, and continuing the whole "godlike quality" theme, for both ability to move and resistance/divinity reasons. <end artist/engineer rant>
This is a really interesting direction to take a mech. I've seen some things that were slightly similar before, but not with the mass all in the shoulders. Very unusual.
It might look cool to have a variant with an additional set of upper limbs.
