Now I have even more reason to be afraid.

I just thought I'd best push out all my terrible ideas early on.

Also because I'm a stick in the mud I'll remind you that explosive weapons are generally frowned upon due to collateral damage. It gets expensive when your explosion has to be able to injure 40 ft tall mechs and that's a lot of collateral.

I should maybe point out that a lot of anti-tank weapons are shaped-charges. The idea is most of the force of the explosion gets directed into the hull of the tank.

Trying to take down a 40 foot tall battle robot with kinetic projectiles has its own fun challenges. Namely that anything that can get through that armour is going to have some crazy penetration, yo. (Try not to miss)

In short: I have no clue.

For power, if the mechs don't run on some sort of unobtanium (like super-science super-high density batteries or magic rocks) it's going to be some sort of petrol derivative.
