Carbon fiber! 10 times stronger than steel yet light as a feather!

Good luck mass producing that in the correct form though. Carbon fibers, while pretty much our currently best material is so far unusable besides on microscopic application.

We did find out this summer that carbon fiber is horrendous at pressure loads. Might not be the best material for a mech.

Nah, carbon fiber can't really take much abuse. It'll probably be some sort of crazy nano-something-or-other.
