I didn't actually find anyone to play it with, but I've read through the rules and... well, imagined playing it.
I like the variety in the equipment, not just having higher damage, and I like the idea of tearing down your mech mid-combat, sounds like it could add a cool dynamic.
A neat thing to add would be a automated GM algorithm for solo play. Also, building a pilot character could be expanded by adding game effects to the choices.
(PS: Chainsaw needs a buff, it's worse than Sword and Katana and Power Fist :P)
