Naked robots?

Technically the robots are always naked. 

However, Inner Sphere Mechwarriors typically strip down to their skivvies or less to deal with the heat in their cockpits.  There was some racy cover art in the 80's on Battletech campaign guides that sent sensibilities aflutter.

Add to that the Clan's opposition to the concept of monogamy and you've got some stuff that could give Game of Thrones a run for its money. 

See!  In universe information AND juvenile interest in nudity.

Is turn length random?  Watched some videos where one turn some mechs moved and fired and the next turn only one moved.

It's based on pilot initiative and whether or not you want to move your pilot down in the order by putting him/her in reserve.   Deciding when in the order your Mechwarriors go is a pretty big part of the management of a turn.

I am interested to see how the turn behavior turns out.  I have never been a fan of a straight IgoUgo system, but I always like trying new forms of turn-based designs.  I have seen some board games use initiative-like mechanics and have liked them.

In both games, probably!  >:D

Yea, this is a bummer, but I've got enough on my plate right now, and I'm hoping for a beta release for CY6  :smitten:
