Obviously, a mech that big must have a big power source.
For example: The brawler, a part of the heavy mech class, cannot be powered by a standard car Diesel engine.

I thought about it and these are the options I could think of:
Vitroleum;
Nuclear fission;
Nuclear fusion;

Or something else...

What is the main power source of a mech and what is the fuel you use for boosting_

[font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The fuel is rat feces. Special rat feces.[/font]

Special rat feces, or vitrolium last I remember.  I need to check my graphic novel again o-o

[ticklemyiguana]

Pretty sure it's rat feces.

No, we're not trolling or misleading you (though we could definitely do better explaining what the hell we're talking about). Promise.

highly refined Cavorite, maybe_ it's what the wars were all about to start with wasn't it_
or was that Unobtanium_
hmmm maybe that was a different Mech movie...

Cavorite (or whatever the hell you call it) is the metal they use to make mechs light enough to hover.

Our whole bodies are our source so yea it would be hard to devise a machine  similar, nuclear is out it needs too much infrastructure to output at high capacity no cooling fins gonna help your meltdown, hah as im playing rotarycraft mod in minecraft i think what if mechs had coil packs, ya know tightly wound, perhaps on every appendage. Realisticaly in our future carbon nanotube solar cells would make mechs skin, and artificial muscle the actuators

indigenous rats eat the giga-structure stuff and then fuzzy bunny out vitroleum, according to the comics. it's treated like a kind of catch-all fuel

It really sounds like you guys are being sarcastic or something.

But I believe you. And I now consider my brilliant-looking boosters a different way...

[Jappards]

Wait, rat feces, are you serious_(rhetorical question and needs no answer)

But it can`t be directly rat feces right_ Are these rat feces processed_

Does the generator use chemical reactions_

If you see the free comics on comixology, you will find that they use cavourite for Armour (here : https://www.comixolo...ader/9515/34736). You will be able to see from the Prosk pilots conclusions that mechs use Cavourite as Armour.

Now in this comic (here : https://www.comixolo...ader/9515/37239, you will find that Vitrolium possess immense amount of energy. Even though we saw that there were mechs at the site of discovery of Vitrolium (obviously running on something else).
My conclusion is that they had a very bad and inefficient fuel for running mechs and might've switched to Vitroium seeing that it is powerful.
