I also don't have tabletop experience but, since his mech didn't explode I think he's still alive. Breaking the engine is one of a handful of ways to capture a mech more or less intact (though down an engine obviously. And both arms in this case.) and I think the mech either just, stands there until recovered or eventually falls over.

As much as I wanted to sweep the leg, getting the engine crit might have been better for our salvage score. I'm not sure what's more expensive, replacing the engine or a leg
