In So I'm a Spider, So What? Puppet Taratects are human-sized mannequins piloted by a palm-sized spider in its chest. The titular heroine of Kemeko Deluxe! is actually a Mobile Suit Human that's Bigger on the Inside. The protagonist of Akira Toriyama's Jiya turns out to be an insect-sized alien piloting a human-sized robot. There are at least two other teenagers in the area who are also actually mechs for small animals. Somehow, "she" is undercover so deep, she has a younger sister and a mother she lives with who don't know she's a robot. The main character from the Japan Animator Expo short "I Can Friday by Day!" is actually such a mech, piloted by a squad of tiny military extraterrestrial squirrels going deep undercover to look for a resource of some kind. Though she doesn't use the Maid-Droid very often. Imoko, usually a small floating thing in The Girl Who Leapt Through Space, has a "Maid-Droid" human-sized robot ◊ that she can be seen using. 
Father seeks godhood because he believes that is the only way he can be truly free. Father desires freedom after spending his entire existence trapped in a container. Envy deeply envies humans despite his vocal disdain for them, hence why he disguises himself as a human most of the time.
In both of these cases, their true forms are the reasons for their villainy. Similarly, Father's apparent body is actually a container for a small amorphous blob-like creature which can't survive outside its container. A fantasy application of this trope: In the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, Envy's real body is revealed to be a small monster fetus thing that can generate or hijack a more human shell around itself. But unlike the mod-souls of the Bount arc, her artificial soul is permanently attached to her artificial body. 
Nemu Kurotsuchi, is a Canon implementation of this concept. Combine the two (as they did in the Bount arc), and you get this trope. There are also gigai, artificial human bodies that Shinigami commonly use to interact with ordinary living humans. Bleach has Mod-Souls, which are small consciousnesses that take the form of small yellow pills. A strange, but almost direct play on this occurs in Basquash!: actually the Humongous Mecha this show focuses on are later revealed to be created originally with the purpose to be a Mobile-Suit Giant, allowing the humans to mingle easier with the race of the giants. See Little Green Man in a Can for different levels of alien and/or mecha. For humans who are in mobile life support robots, see Man in the Machine. #Hamster maze vs human trap manual#
See Brain with a Manual Control for when an actual human can be controlled like a robot from the inside of their body. For stories that depict ordinary humans as metaphorically controlled by tiny pilots, see Ghost in the Machine. Such pilots typically live in a Mouse World. The trope name is a pun on Mobile Suit Gundam.Ī potential subtrope of the Monster Suit and Human Disguise. Most often employed for comedic purposes, the pilot of the suit is usually revealed at one point or another, to the astonishment and shock or amusement of who or whatever is unfortunate enough to be the one to open it up or see inside it. Nobody is ever afraid of anything tiny if it's not a Killer Rabbit.
The Mobile-Suit Human is a Mini-Mecha designed to look like everybody else (more or less), manned by a tiny (usually about rodent-sized) pilot who can operate it to blend in with the rest of the population without being noticed or to make himself seem more impressive than he otherwise would be. In sci-fi and anime you have your Humongous Mecha and you have.
