The structure of the mecha looks great, but I would scrap the shading so far... I can't even tell where the light source is.

Here's some refs for some cel-shaded mechas: http://www.mediafactory.co.jp/anime/gravion/about/mecha.html

The above are some reference from an old co-worker of mine. Also if you aren't looking for professional shading then use this reference:

it mostly looks off balance, i'd work on the pose before going too far into detailing it. im guessing it can fly like those robots in gundam wing. but it still looks like an awkward pose to me.
I've not got anything interesting to type here..
