[[Mecha]] the way most people see them - with hands at the ends of their arms, as opposed to guns or other devices.

Hands at the end of arms are a staple of conventional mech design, wherein the mech looks like a large, armoured human being. Settings with these sorts of mecha tend to use the mecha as near-direct avatars of characters, giving them superpowers they otherwise do not have. See [[stompy]] for a type of mech aesthetic that typically lends itself to less humanoid designs and a more "vehicular" status for its mech.

When considering a post for this category, keep in mind the [i]number[/i] of hands the mech has. This tag exists to emphasize the tendency of mech design towards humanoid shapes when the mech has a hand at the end of each arm. Please only tag a mech as such if it has two or more hands.
