Z-Mech Problems and Ideas

As I have been messing around with the Z-Mechs I have noticed that for me they seem too easy to destroy. If 1 peashooter gets his gatling on you that's half your health (maybe more). Maybe that's just me but that seems like the case. However, it also seems while trying to attack a mech it becomes nearly impossible to destroy it. Maybe a new Z-Mech that primarily focuses on crowd control against the mass of plants who focus on Z-Mechs should be introduced? Maybe a Electric Imp, who's Z-Mech has a bubble shield to protect allies and increases in size the more Mechs are within it? 

I'd also like to see if maybe we could customize our Z-Mechs? Something like with Citron and how his skin affects his ball form, could the Imps weapon skin change the skin on the Z-Mech? It would make the mechs stand out a little.

    The Z-Mechs are supposed to be formidable, not unstoppable. With the largest stack of Health of anything playable right now and the ability for some of them to dish out large quantities of damage it's no surprise that the minute that one appears on the battlefield it either gets targeted by Gatling Peas, SunBeams, or just plain ganged up on by the Plants.

    Since a lot of Imp players tend to simply charge around with impunity while in their Z-Mechs it's no surprise that they get taken out quickly; they don't need any new buffs- just because you can jump in a walking tank and spam bullets and missiles everywhere doesn't mean that you can abandon tactics and if you're dumb enough to just wade into a group of Plant players, as opposed to a bunch of AI, thinking that you're unstoppable suddenly you get what you deserve.

    If you want to play Big Bad Z-Mech devote time to Graveyard Ops and you can stomp on all the Weeds and AI controlled Plant Heroes you want while they flail around not being able to handle you but don't expect actual experienced Players to be as hapless.

    The only problem I have with the Z-Mech is the emergency escape button. Even spamming the button takes about 2-3 seconds to success escape, and within the weird delay of escaping, I always get killed. Most people died so fast after enter Z-Mech is they thought they're invincible with the amount of health, plus there are time limit. So they rush into the crowd. I find Z-Mech is the priority target for me to shoot when I am playing as plants, and I believe other plants as well.

    a pea gatling can kill you in less than a second
