it doesn't have the rigidity or strength, i would say it is a fail

Internal structure can be done this way. while the main structure must be armor alloys, the internal reinforcement can be this. It is a valid thing to do with a Class-A and it can save up extra costs for the thrusters behind the cockpit. Hovering would not be a problem if Class-A where made like this.

 

Also bad news, what about the thing about being able to walk without falling down? Humans need to use at least 200 muscles to make a single step, in order to make a fully working mech that doesn't fall apart from external forces and gravity itself you ahve to invest more on the legs than the protective structure in order to make it reliable and don't die starting up the thing by falling down.

 

There are fuzzy bunny ton of things to take in consideration when you design a mech, but the biggest doubt is: how the hell i'm gonna reproduce human behaviour with only mechanical parts? And then, how i'm gonna be sure this thing doesn't fall down when i start it and begin to walk through ramps, stairs n' stuff? Regarding HAWKEN lore and the purpose of these war machines, how i'm going to make sure it doesn't get slammed into the ground when it recieves a rocket wich has the length of Shaquille O'Neil, the width of a book stand and the force of 3 trucks slammed into you?

Is it really the world's lightest material if it's 99% air, or is it the world's lightest least dense metal lattice structure?

 

Either way I don't think material weight is the largest hurdle to making bipedal war machines.
