The main thing that distinguishes a mech is that it is primarily piloted, though they can have autonomous capability. In addition, they are frequently bipedal, often anthropomorphic, though this isn't always a requirement.

This isn't the best supply of info on Chamber (one of my all-time favorite mechs), but it's  a start. I recommend the anime it's from. It's short, but the story is decent, the world is fun and pretty, and there's some fun action.

Gurren Lagann is full of wild, crazy, and absurd mechs, with the final combined form of the titular mech and it's associated link-up partners eclipsing galaxies, fueled by the operators' collective willpower and potential. All that said, words can't do it justice. Sheer absurdity.

Warhammer 40K's Tau have some pretty sweet mechs that find a happy medium (that drops a lot of the drama) between between the clunky, Gothic, and over the top brutes of the Imperium (focus on the titans and anthropomorphic stuff like dreadnoughts) and the mystical, graceful, and pretty wraiths of the Eldar.

Let's see what happened while I was typing.
