What roles outside of combat can mechs be used for

and please no "mechs are stupid/cant exist irl because x" , your adding nothing to the conversation and limiting your own imagination.

Construction
Rescue
Logging
Mining

Firefighting
Law Enforcement
Demolition

Guess you can throw in transport.
But that's about it

Logging, certainly.

Construction

Cargo manipulation - basically anything that a forklift is used for that's not specifically pallets (and even there they might be useful, but pallets and forklifts is a very good system)

In Xenoblade Chronicles X, mechs come in civilian variants and are used as super forklifts for industrial and construction purposes; any activity that has you lift girders, cargo, or basically anything else heavy can benefit from stripped-down mechs.

I guess that outside of combat mechs are very handy
So like most already said: Construction, mining, logging
Also it would help a lot in cargo transportation logistics. Mech's would probably be pretty good at moving cargo

Gnarly future sports

I remember that a lot of settings with Mechs have them originate as bipedal forklifts and other construction vechicles. Armored core for example used them because they were more space effective/nimble than standard construction vechicles, can turn easier, etc. which was important in tight underground spaces.

Anything humans can do, scaled up to mech size.
Anything we use wheeled/tracked machines for can be replaced with mechs.

So, we then have mechs that lay prebuilt bridges down for others to go over. Recovery mechs for hauling others back from the front lines. Mech baseball. Orbital construction mechs.

Watch the first Patlabor movie, that's a cool depiction of mechs doing a shit tonne of construction and police work.

Porn, you say?

We already have giant mechs.

Basically everything a normal human could do just on a larger scale.

Holy shit, am I too old for this board?

If you're asking that, then it's probably the opposite.

context?

There was nothing pornographic about their actions!

Unless you're a prude from Roboworld

oh man I loved that one!

There's an older anime named Patlabor. It shows them being used for all sorts of things, but mostly the stuff already listed. You might want to check the series out for ideas.

Closest they'd get to combat (while still being practical) would be with military engineers. They'd certainly have a variety of uses, from base-building to clearing obstructions.

*Maybe* they'd have a mounted gun of some sort for point defense, but that would be it.

Let me guess: The pilot enters through the vagina? Unbirthing giant mecha magical (technological?) realm?

Space Exploration!

Imagine if you could have a SupCom style ACU being the first lander(s) on a new planet.

Can't read the artist's signature. Who drew this?

>can turn easier,
I really like mechas but it always cracks me up when Japan tries to justify them with "they are quicker" or "they are more agile than tanks!"
It always seems like the writers are vastly underestimating how fucking fast a tank is and how little space one needs to maneuver.

I present you with... The Cattlemaster.

Interesting idea.
Imagine instead of a space ship, you are in a mech that can freely enter or exit space and travel at FTL speeds. It would be like you're flying in space.

Getting a mech to break atmo might be difficult.

But it could build a launch platform and vehicle for the pilot(s) to go to the next world after the infrastructure for the first real colonists.

Hell, the leftovers from the mech could be the seed from which a exo-colony could be built.

>Getting a mech to break atmo might be difficult.
Easy, just make it transform into an aerosprce fighter. You can even give it a hybrid form!
