If you want a highly mobile platform, you need to keep some physics in mind.
1. Center of gravity. Right now when those mech designs boost, it looks like it's gonna faceplant straight into the ground, because the weight is all forward of the legs. You either need to make is stand up straighter, or , you need to load more weight into the back.
2. Intertia. Getting up to speed in a robot is one thing, but high mobility also requires fast stops. You might want some directed verniers or retro rockets to halt forward momentum. You may also consider trying to diversify different hard systems for multiple functions.
Finally, consider deployable wheels on the feet so it can go into a sort of 'cruise' mode. A low friction fulcum can also assist in fast starts.
