We need as much GIANT piletd MEcha concept art as we can get.

"MECH ARENA Concept Art: FX WARS"


Fifty years after a nuclear holocaust, conflict in the form of open war is strictly forbidden by the surviving nations who have eventually merged into two socio-political opposing super-nations: the American-influenced Western Market, and the Russian Confederation. In order to resolve conflicts over land and resources, the Market and Confederation agree to hold gladiator (http:///wiki/Gladiator)-like matches on a one-on-one basis to decide any one issue. To this end, they develop human-controlled giant robots (http:///wiki/Mecha), piloted by "robot jox". As the film opens, the Confederation has demanded a claim on the territory of Alaska (http:///wiki/Alaska), and unwilling to allow the valuable resources of the area fall into their hands, the Market must defend its own claim.
