It still feels like a straight port of Supers, reskinned and justified with TL^. Or maybe Exalted, in a way. (Haven't played Exalted, but the fanciness seems of the same level as in the interactive tutorial.)

Maybe the Biomecha article from Pyramid3 #24 could be mined for stats of suits like the Protagonist in the vid.

The characters aren't really specified yet... Although I do plan on having mechas somewhere in the mix. Who doesn't like them? Raise your hand, I dare you! If you really boil it down... You're either a psi, an alien, or have access to some very impressive technology. Either that or you're the damn best gunslinger around!

Or you have a big brain and the right kind of screwdriver.

(Two hearts, the ability to regenerate, and a time machine also help…)

The original vid looked amazing, by the way.

The battle with the entry guards (and the scorpion-mech, later) looked remarkably like PHD (purple-haired dude) was playing chess with the mechs. To simulate that in GURPS you might want to consider letting your warriors have Style Familiarity (Mecha) vs. the lower-level threats.

Plus, that would be a cheap way to "punch up" the tension a few games in--"They've rewritten their attack matrices!"--just as soon as the players get used to their bonuses.
