Okay, I have posted the player stats at the end of the previous post. You can outline your plan of attack.
Keep in mind, you have no idea how strong or how weak Bandit is (hence why I posted no stats for him). You only know you've hurt him a fair bit, but you know literally nothing beyond that.
That, and Wilde and Henry are going to have an absolute laugh when this is all said and done.

Heavy Weapons in this case are the heaviest man-made guns the Duo felt they could weld onto the frame without compromising anything important. Hence, cannons, rocket launchers, the sort.
And duly noted. Next time I'll just default to Enemy.
Thanks for the feedback!

Well, there's a limit in what can actually be done mechanically with our present tools. Not saying I can't come up with something cool, but right now, our options are basically 'Punch" and "punch really hard'.
Incidentally, we get two strikes a turn, but because of how things work out, we only acutally get one of them? I'm not entirely clear.

No, you still can strike twice per turn. Just that's going to be your main action.
Besides that, you would normally have extra actions to call upon. What self-respecting Super Robot wouldn't?
...well, one that's not quite finished, that's what. You've got conventional human dakka via the heavy weapons, but that's all you have at the moment.
That said, you guys are already performing really well for a Super Robot in alpha stage of development.
(I did kinda forget to post again:
Notable Character (Can Strike at Enemy Target twice per turn) )
Fixed. Thanks!

Yeah, we got a really good pilot, we got in his face fast, and we had a good opening strategy that evened the odds.
And yeah, alpha state of development, but it's also against enemies who aren't expecting meaningful opposition, it makes sense we can take advantage in that opening.
Can we commit Callaghan's reroll to our super tough save?

A damn fine start for the opening fight.
Now, for actual tactics, there are a few things to consider here.
[X] Orders: Push back!
-[X] Use all available weapons to defeat Bandit.
--[X] Try to keep fighting away from friendlies.
Now, for actual tactics, there are a few things to consider here.
- Enemy Salvage/Prisoner: If we want we could try and disable the mech/not totally wreck it. However, we're just getting started, so we may just go for the autopsy/salvage route of what's left rather than capture.
- Collateral Damage: There is a Kausen defector, and the time we spend fighting is time for him to bleed out. Also, we want to keep the fighting away from him.

So a few other considerations:
You have Bandit, who remains a known target, but with unknown capabilities. The question remains on how you want to handle him/it. You can try for the kill, but you have no clue how close you are to achieving that.
You also have the EUDF personnel sticking to the fallen Kausen, and she's refusing to budge as far as you can tell (though Callaghan's attention is admittedly occupied with the fight).
So forcing Bandit to retreat to focus on a 'medical' evacuation is also an option for you.
The Intuitive Piloting trait really should say 'defensive rolls' instead of specifically Agile. Something I'm going to fix after this encounter is done.
So yeah, I'll let you roll with it. Voting will remain open until sometime tonight.

Hmm. I think we should go for the kill, we're not good enough to restrain him. Otoh, if Bandit tries to flee we should let him, focus on keeping the not!Autobot alive.

Nice.
[X] Plan: Big Damn Heroes (Ain't we just?)
-[X] Plan Considerations: We've got a wounded entity that may very well be a Kausen defector of all damn things, keeping him alive is priority one. Fortunately, we've shown our fangs and we're now a big scary bastard, we can take some hits, and we've established that we're not some scrub who can be safely ignored. We can use that. Eliminating the hostile for autopsy and salvaging would be nice, but the primary objective is to keep the friendlies alive--the intel we'd get out of it would be worth almost any price. Worst comes to worst, we can chase him off and see if we can track down his weapon for reverse engineering later. Save Lives first, tech advancement later, even if the men of Science might wag the finger. Do not attempt to give chase if he retreats, though feel free to give him a farewell present if weapons are armed and it can be fired without endangering the friendlies.
-[X] Phase One: Demolisher into Standard Attack. See how much this guy likes wrestling when his opponent's littered with more rockets and cannons than an armored battalion. Reroll committed to the Demolisher hit.
-[X] Phase Two: Two Standard Attacks, Reroll committed to Extra Tough Save, try and get a suplex in here if we can, because suplexes in super robots are the best.
-[X] Phase Three: Oh look our air support is back. Demolisher into Standard Attack, supplemented by Air Support Heavy Weapon Strike, unless any of these would impair the safety of the non-combattants. Reroll again committed to Demolisher unless required to protect non-combattants.

We need a synchronization meter.
We got our Bumblebee!
Oh my, I considered writing an omake about the Kausen being worried about the Vehicle Configuration thing would attract Tyrannous' attention, but I didn't get the time to write it. It seems I was right on the money.
Cavalier, really? Is he a nice guy too?
On the plus side, we got our possible hot-blooded pilot! A rare female variant though because SV hates guys.
We need to research better seat-belts.
We have to show it to the general.
The aliens speak English too!
Well, he's partially right from where they come from.
Even his thoughts are evil red. We still don't know if he's spiky though.
Even the prototype already has an emblem.
Lel, nerdy shout included. I hope future melee attacks include a "shout now" gauge for extra awesome.
Neeerd!
Heh, you even included anime-esque episode endings! But, where's our fanservice?
What about melee attacks though?
Technically this is in-between Real and Super IMO. I insist we need to integrate a tank or two in our final form.

Punching someone right now is fairly conventional.
That said, Sam and the Engineers will have all sorts of ideas for the future.

I don't know what it is, but it's seems Super Robot shit has taken over this part of my life.
I'm actually planning to run a Mecha Campaign with my brothers later.

Honestly, I think they key to getting integrated weapons with our current tech base will be to remember the quirks of the K-Scale.
It doesn't want to be shaped into things that aren't a living being--that's why melee weapons are a pain in the ass. But if you consider natural weapons, there should be no reason why K-Scale can't be shaped into those.
So, integrated claws, stored tension hammers (in a similar fashion to Big O's Sudden Impacts at least--if a Mantis Shrimp can do it, there's no reason that K-Scale can't be used to do the same!). Basically looking into nature and using that to forge mecha weapons with.
If this fight goes well, we'll also have potentially captured a Kausen weapon for studies too--if it goes incredibly well and we actually down Bandit (and his chassis doesn't melt or self destruct on termination), we can study their power sources too.
