Hi Mohammed As `Zaman Bey,

Could it accomplish a flying kick or a spinning roundhouse?
1. Depends on its piloting ability, tacking ability, and speed.
[/quote]We know a mech can punch, but what about a finger flick or backhand? How human-like are humanoid mechs?[/quote]
2. Theoretically so, see answer 1 above.

Whenever we take attacks or defenses, refine them and commit to practicing them, we create a martial art. It doesn't matter if it is a squad of anti-mech infantry or a mech facing men on foot, it all becomes a martial art and in that light, how would it be trained?
3. A 'Mech could be trained by programming, construction options, artificial intelligence, or 'Mech person(nel) controlling it. Let's have above rules published to discover that answer to that question.

Just as important, who would use them?
4. Let's have above rules published to discover those answers of persons that would use them when those persons use those attacks during fictional simulation games.
Quote:
What about the target? The target might not cooperate and just stand there, waiting for you to grab him, right? Most small creatures just run away, others head for cover. A human will run into a building or slit trench, in order to avoid being grabbed. A human might outrun a crouched mech or gamble on a bent over mech to chase and force an error. What about taking a chance of running at the mech and dashing between its legs to get behind it? A mech would have to spin around to face the target, spending movement and risking losing its balance.
5. I encourage you to read these books: TO, TW, SO, IO, AToW, and AToWC. Remember, above rule is that these grabbing attacks each use the Punch Attack rules for to-hit modifiers.
Also, the damage formula mentioned above is when crushing occurs, not necessarily when grabbing occurs.
