==Description== 
The '''Molten Mech''' is a fast and tanky enemy that appears in [[Molten Mode|Molten]] and Molten Arena [[PVP]] modes. It could also appear in [[The Takeover Event]]. It has decently high health, but lower than the [[Molten Golem]], a fairly quick speed and some defense.

==Appereance==
The '''Molten Mech''' is, as the name suggest, a giant mech. Its body is made out of red and black metal parts. Its head has a small neon orange lens. Multiple neon orange parts can be seen on its body. It has three thrusters on each of its arms, which are used to boost its speed. It also has a black skull symbol on each hand's side.

==Strategy==
*Towers with high DPS, such as the [[Minigunner]], [[Ranger]] or [[Crook Boss]] can be quite useful against the '''Molten Mech'''.
**The [[Commander]] and [[DJ Booth]] can be used to boost the statistics of these towers.
*Stalling towers like the [[Electroshocker]], [[Tesla]], [[Freezer]] and [[Cryomancer]] can be used to slow it down.
**These towers can also be used to reduce its [[Defense]], though as it is quite low this will have minimal impact on the damage it receives.
