There is a school of thought that supposes that part of the appeal of [[Humongous Mecha]] is... well, being humongous. A giant robot fight in the middle of a city or far above the earth allows for martial arts action coupled with lots of [[Rocket Punch|crazy]] [[Macross Missile Massacre|weaponry]], and [[Hero Insurance|plenty of property damage]]. However, now that the show's winding down and all the opponents are either dead or [[Defeat Means Friendship|good]], the [[Big Bad]] [[Eldritch Abomination]] or [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] of the day has shown up, and... well, it's kind of ''extra'' humongous. What's the solution?

Compare with [[Combining Mecha]] and the [[Mecha Expansion Pack]].

Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* ''[[Gundam SEED Astray]]'', as well. Initially, when Lowe makes the 150 Gabera Straight (which, by the way, ''re''-redefines the [[BFS]] - it's an orbital [[Katanas Are Just Better|katana]] ''150 meters long''), he has to put his Astray Red Frame into a Junk Guild Power Loader (pictured above) just to swing it.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' has a surprise somewhere in the middle season: the [[Mighty Glacier]] Gundam Virtue is revealed to be just a [[Powered Armor]] of a smaller [[Fragile Speedster]], Gundam Nadleeh. Dropping Virtue's armor off enables Nadleeh's pilot to play [[Judge, Jury, and Executioner]] on his teammates if he's dissatisfied with them.
** Season 2 has the same in the form of the Seravee Gundam carrying the smaller Seraphim Gundam folded up on
*** And ''[[Gundam 00: Awakening of the Trailblazer|Gundam 00 a Wakening of The Trailblazer]]'' introduces the Raphael Gundam, whose backpack is the Seravee II.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] '' has the Space Ganmen, which are essentially up-scaled Ganmen capable of fighting and moving in space and piloted by regular Ganmen, which are then piloted by humans.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* Many of [[Iron Man]]'s special suits are designed to be piloted by Tony while wearing his regular suit, like the Hulkbuster suits.
