The government itself wouldn't call mechs "dolls", but the military is well-known for giving their machinery ironic or cool nicknames, and "Doll" would be right up their alley.
Wouldn't the US military call them like "victory suits" or something like that?
Tots is the exact same name as Tatsu. Literally no change at all.
It's the same old song and dance every time something is changed in localization. I was there and saw the hissy fits the Capcom Unity Monster Hunter community had over Hapurubokka being changed to Nibelsnarf and Jinouga being "changed" to Zinogre. With 4U, they complained about Garara Ajara being changed to Najarala. One guy even lamented the "change" of Gogumajiosu, despite a Capcom staff member - someone working on the localization team, even - informing him that Gogmazios is the same name.
In the end, feel free to call them whatever you want, just know that you're going to confuse new people and invite trolls to call you a "weaboo".
Hahahaha I'm gonna get called a weeaboo just cuz I like saying Dolls more than Skells? Lol whatever.
I'm not saying you will. I'm just saying that that's what I've seen happen to people who still call Zinogre "Jinouga".
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to Xenoblade 3D. Gotta go avenge Fiorun by killing the Mashina and Black Face. It's Rain time, baby!
Hahaha have fun
I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

To be fair, as you've noted JRPG names are complex enough even after they're translated, and that's coming from someone who remembers all of the characters and plot lines in Game of Thrones.
Hhm, interesting. I actually love companion DLCs. Shale from Dragon Age Origin was my favourite companion, as was Kasumi in Mass Effect 2. This is a lot of DLC though, especially considering every character DLC is around 4 €. I hope there is some form of season pass.
Anyway, those wallpapers are amazing. Downloaded all of them!

Obviously it'd be called the Iron Patriot
Indeed! Although it sounds less impressive in the plural.
