There's no identity crisis to be had here, because this show has long since extended its reach past just mecha... but these machines don't have pilots! They are remote controlled though, which is certainly a kind of piloting. It's a pedantic distinction, but it can be fun to consider how the categorization works out. The machines of Robot Alchemic Drive seem a-okay to me. A real shame the Gllang apparently sucks, it's sick. I did a bad job of giving credit on the ep- this was a request from listener Baavetti!
