That's just weird but totally in sync with the Mecha (Macross/Gundam/etc.) ethos.

What would make it more weird would be an even smaller human(oid) sitting in the back of the pilot's head. ;D

Oh, there's absolutely no need to stop there! ;)

The ever diminutive "pilots" would only be limited by the modeller's skill set & the power of their magnification systems. ;D

I have most of his books and they're all fantastic. "Electric State" is great - there's a movie adaptation coming out next year.
