As suggested by their name, Mecha Imps are huge robots controlled by [[Imps]]. You must first shoot the head of the monster with a ranged weapon, preferably the [[Crossbow]]. After you destroy its head, you have to face its back and shoot the Imp that controls it from behind. Beware, though, the robot can spin in place and the head spits fire! | As suggested by their name, Mecha Imps are huge robots controlled by [[Imps]].

====Animations==== | |||
The body of the Mecha Imps has two animations. The head doesn't have any animations and turns using code instead. | |||

====Official Strategy Guide entry==== | |||
These mechanized contraptions are a bit menacing at first. Their heads shoot balls of fire at you and, if you get caught between their legs, you're sure to lose some precious life energy. The trick to felling these "Goliaths" is to dash underneath them (between their legs) right away and first shoot out the head with a projectile weapon, then go for the puny little Imp who's revealed operating the controls in its back. Eight or nine hits on each will bring them down with a bang.{{Bookref|MED-Prima}} | |||
===''MediEvil: Resurrection''=== | |||
====An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters entry==== | |||
Imps have always had a chip on their shoulder about their lass than imposing stature, but surely the creation of 40 feet high robot representatives is a bit of an overreaction. Still, no one can argue with the effectiveness of such a beast (complete with metallic stomping boots and fireball attack). The key to bringing these unwieldy creatures down is to dart through their legs and shoot out their metal heads. Once done, the adventurer's focus must switch to the pesky imp operators themselves. If one keeps hitting this annoying blighter at the controls the Mecha will eventually be felled with a satisfying ker- thump, good riddance!{{Gameref|MPSP}}{{Gameref|MPSP-Bestiary}} | |||

====Book of Gallowmere entry==== | |||
Industrious thieving Imps built these powerful machines to steal crops from the farmers. I think they'd do better mass producing these things and selling 'em to the farmers, but hey - thieves gotta thieve.{{Gameref|MED2019}}{{Gameref|MED2019-Bestiary}} | |||

This pre-release version stays in place, shooting fireballs at Dan as well as releasing crows from their torsos in a fashion similar to the [[scarecrows]]. They can be defeated by shooting their head just like in the final game. Doing so will award Dan with 100 [[points]].{{Gameref|Rolling-Demo}}{{Gameref|ECTSPreAlpha}} | ||
