That's somewhat a prime example why I could never get fresh with Japanes Mechas.
Even with both eyes closed to ignore some structural problems it's just not possible to have a machine move something like this with limbs and weapons like that.
There's no material, in that scale, even close in existance that could support such stress when standing still and we're not even talking about running or crashing down after flying into air.
And even with a material to hold it together how does one plan to make it move? The entire mech would have to consist of pumps to move enormous hydraulics at a reasonable pace to be combat ready.
No Sir... The laws of Physics tell me this is serious BS.
I'll stick to some a lot more realistic designs like those from BattleTech.

Pumps only provide flow in a hydraulic system, not pressure. Pressure is created by the orifice diameter in a cylinder and area of the piston head. Hydraulic fluid can also be stored in an accumulator like air in an air tank and can deliver the required flow.
Not all machines are robotic. You have stepper motors and linear motors as well and many others.

well, if one wanted to get "realistic" with armored core, one needs to remember that this game is set several hundred years in the future, new elements more than likely discovered, and they probably dont even use hydraulic systems anymore, more likely the systems run off of some kind of artifical muscle systems, and very limited use of large electric servos, and by large i mean car sized, so they can probably move weights well over what looking at the frame would tell you, just pump more electricity and the harder the servos pull
