I'd be inclined to agree that mecha games are on the cusp between wargames and roleplaying. However if you keep your mecha small, more like powered armour I think that you could keep the scenarios to a more human level.
You might want to check out Cthulhu Tech to see the background. It appears suitable for mecha and human scale scenarios, but it doesn't use the BRP rules.Which I consider a cardinal sin!
