FTR, changing size without a transformation or physical shapeshifting (which has the limitations specified in the description) is a no-go. So yes, everything Ganondorf has said is correct. You'll need a Transformation, unless the mech is smaller than twelve-feet-ish.
Now, as for how to go about it ... I'd recommend your base form is a pilot. Make them able to hold their own. Have guns and other equipment. You could even have a power suit. You could make a Tier 1 Transformation a smaller mech, and then have a full-sized mech as Tier 2/3 Transformations, to make it more believable. Obviously it means you'll be a while before you have a full-sized mech, but when you do it'll feel appropriately powerful. However, that's just my recommendations. The ruling is that you can do what you want, except that your base form can't be taller than 12 feet.
Quote:Giant body
Any character over twelve feet tall is classified as a 'giant'. Whether it’s turning into a giant monkey or climbing into your giant robot, being huge has its advantages, gigantic reach being one of them. However! You must have a minimum of 3 attack and the power ‘physical strength’. Bear in mind that your speed and defense do not ‘size’ up automatically, so relatively speaking you will be moving much slower (since you’re bigger) and if you have 0 defense you’re still going to get blown up, especially since you’re a much bigger target. To feel properly epic, Omni recommends at LEAST 3 in attack, defense and speed to use such a form! (so use it with Power-Ups if you can).
^That's the official advice.
