More ones (sorry for my english!):
5.When using that special move, it's announced by the main character
6.There is ever a 'soft' subplot involving one of the 'good' character
7.The mech is build by a professor who even is the boss
8.Enemies are horny
9.The enemy mech changes every episode
10.Enemy is absolutely evil.
11.The mechs have only melee weapons (or short-range)
12.The good guys have a secret base
13.The mechs have no maintenance
