Here’s a quick thought about the inherent silliness of giant robots, especially the homages to giant robots.

Opinion: Daizengar, or DyGenGuard, is one of the most popular and well-liked super robot among the Banpresto originals in Super Robot Wars. (honestly, it doesn’t have much competition in this category, considering its number of appearances and the fact that it’s one of maybe 4 or 5 supers in the Original Generations games. Plus, it’s badass.)
Fact: According to the Super Robot Wars OAV, Daizengar/DyGenGuard uses a muscle trace system similar to the controls used in G Gundam - as in, the cockpit is basically a motion capture room that has the robot mimic its pilot’s movements.

Conjecture: What does this mean for Tatsumaki Zankantou/Tornado Blade, where Zengar/Sanger’s best friend turns his mech into a horse for the Dynamic General Guardian to ride?

Conclusion: Real men ride each other.

Yes, Super Robot Wars players have been wondering this for years. But, before I go…

Parting thought: Is THAT why Zankantou grows like that?
