About the franchise
Wikipedia explains that most Gundams are huge, bipedal, anthropological automobiles organized from an arena by a human pilot. The stadium is located in the torso. At the same time, the head helps as a camera to conduct images back to the arena. Most of the series leading roles are Newtypes, hereditarily progressive humans modified for space. Newtypes have mental capabilities that allow them to sense each other crosswise and apply unusual mobile suits.
