Do you think Arm Slaves are too small for all the shit that's going on inside them? At ~9m the pilot occupies practically the entire torso.
It's mostly bullshit tech anyway, but what would be a believable size for a mech?

Human sized so it can be used as a sex doll

Anon are you some kind of 3+ meter tall alien?

A sitting adult male is around 1.27m. At 9m tall the pilot would be taking up nearly 15% of the height of an arm slave. So a sitting human would take up all of the upper torso.
Actually that's precisely believable: ASes in setting descend from powered armor development attempts, solving the miniaturization problem by just giving up and scaling things up to the available tech of the times (plus a decent amount of black tech for good measure). They're meant to operate as if a worn equipment.
Heavy and big ASes like Behemoths are troublesome for pilots. Even Laevateinn has so many problems. So M9 and Zu-98 are well-balanced ASes
AS are basically exosuits that have been scalled up to be 2-3 stories high so I don't think they have too much going on compared to other types of mecha.
Also they do pretty much mention that the technology behind the machines is "black technology" sent from the future, so basically magic.
The toybox also explicitly has too much shit in it for its size, unnatural miniaturization is already standard by the two conspiracies fighting each other. This is even noted as a problem because the Lambda Driver just doesn't fit without causing issues.
9 meters is too tall already
4~6 meters is perfect mech size, anything bigger enters cartoon zone
i like the size
>no room for motors yet arm slaves can do fricking kung fu
Arm Slaves use artificial muscle. You would know this if you watched the show.
>no room for core and trunk muscles yet it can hold up its upper body
???
Cause it isn't a fatass, unlike (You)
Artificial muscle and hydraulics, up until 3rd gen goes all artificial muscle.
Powerplants are commonly ICE types peaking at gas turbine up until 3rd gen goes for a mind bogglingly compact palladium nuclear reactor that provides a lot of needed juice for the kind of hypertech 3rd gen is blessed with (read: visible spectrum invisibility). Black Technology is to account for just how absurdly miniaturized all the technology is at this point, even including basic AI systems to offload a lot of burden from the pilot to a virtual backseat.
And even then, all this technology had to scale up to about 9 meter height ranges to become practical even with the superscience. The average Arm Slave can't get much smaller outside of a few specimens of autonomous machine that Amalgam had in its employ.

No, the use something called Muscle Packages. AS are meant to somewhat emulate humans beyond just the shape. Read the novel for better details.
Palladuim reactor?
OP, that's a three story tall suit
you need to watch more stuff than just gundam
And fighter jets are 18 meters tall.
5-8m is the ideal size for ALL biped mecha.
They're just following Dougram's example for size.
See what I don't actually get is how the head on the Gernsback family can have a functioning neck let alone connection to the rest of the body when it sits on that wienerpit hatch the way it does.
It's been bothering me ever since I got that Metal Build figure, Ebikawa what the actual frick. I know, don't think too hard about how the Black Technology fits, but it's really silly looking how that hatch neck exists the way it does.
Scale figures don't accurately represent small mechanisms.
No but they do communicate the general form factor well enough to make you wonder about really silly stuff.
Similarly, is it ever acknowledged how many times the Gernsback's design has been retconned? Because it's a borderline running joke to me how many times the Hugo gets reworked.
To me, at least, the Master File is the definitive rendition.
