it wasn't a real mech, it was a suit, with a very strong weightlifter type stuntman moving stuff about.
I have to admit i've read in quite official sounding sources that it was a mech with external hydrolics etc... Often the same people think that the dropship was designed by BAe or a US military aerospace engineer. (it's just a kitbashed apache, designed by jim cameron, and polished off by ron cobb).
Sadly, it wasn't real. the only bits that worked were the front claw grips. Alien quadrilogy puts it all into context really. aliens was made on a far lower budget than you'd think looking at it.
