It's a low profile robot.
On the other hand, Sci-Fi/Fantasy 'mechs are great -- in fantasy.
In reality, on a modern battlefield: any vehicle towering over the combat area would make a perfect target for everybody else to shoot at. That's why real-world tanks often use "hull-down" positions in order to avoid presenting a huge profile to enemy gunners.
Anyone, or anything, that stands up on a modern battlefield has an extremely short life expectancy.
In the horrible place which is known as the real world, a sci-fi style 'mech wouldn't last long.
Sorry if that disappoints some......
