The vocal cords wouldn't be affected by the spinal cybernetics, serves no purpose whatsoever. in fact, you have to perform a totally different surgery to install a synthetic voice box; you need to go in from the front to do it.

Look at how bulky and inellegant it is. The Paladin is clearly an early model, a more advanced version will be more streamlined but possess the same features. the piloting system is also more akin to a traditional vehicle than to advanced mechs. no fancy flight suits, no motion controls, just a HUD and stick shift.

Vale doesn't have any sort of military, so they wouldn't have money budgeted to put into R&D of hyper advanced stuff like combat mechs. My suggestion is go AU with it, so you can get away with having that sort of thing outside Atlas without a brutal violation of canon.

I would also point out the logical falacy of sticking an abused slave in a giant fucking combat robot.
