Greg will probably swing by and call us idiots and make a ruling but I could imagine a mech could work something like fluff for your actual combat. Much like Nanoha's Raising Heart is mostly fluff.
So all your stats and moves and whatnot are based around the mech being piloted, so the mech itself doesn't count as a power or transformation or anything like that, but doesn't give you anything extra.
Then you just have to stick to you being essentially powerless or really weak while out of the mech. Maybe make it so you can shrink the mech or some shit to fit inside buildings (later? start with that? don't know?).
Again, it's similar to Raising Heart. Nanoha can cast spells without Raising Heart activated, but they're super draining or really week. That's only fluff though, and according to the rules I can do them even without it activated, but I wont because that's not how the character works. Same with all my self-imposed limits on what spells she can use it what form Raising Heart is in- just more fluff.
