Cool pic. I like this mech. Add a bit of surface stuff like Luke27 said, and include a hydraulic fluid leak or two near the joints (what military hardware doesn't leak fluid of some sort?) Also a few wisps of windblown sand would look cool. Perhaps some postwork showing a bit of heatwaves shimmering as well to indicate that the powerplants are going and the mech's being driven hard. Also it couldn't hurt to show that this thing's had some recent action by emptying a few missile tubes and adding the appropriate scorch marks on the launcher. Using a green light to fill in the one side would work real good, as it would appear to come from the laser. And since you added the tank wreckage, may as well have it appear to be smoldering. Great work!
