In most cases, mecha are depicted as fighting machines, whose appeal comes from the combination of potent weaponry with a more stylish combat technique than a mere vehicle. They are usually much larger than the wearer, like Iron Man's enemy the Iron Monger, or the mobile suits depicted in the Gundam series. While the distinction is often hazy, mecha typically does not refer to form-fitting powered armor such as Iron Man's suit. Mechas differ from robots in that they are piloted from a cockpit, typically located in the chest or head of the mech. Outside of this usage, it has become associated with large humanoid machines with limbs or other biological characteristics. In Japanese, mecha encompasses all mechanical objects, including cars, guns, computers, and other devices, and the term "robot" ( ロボット, robotto) or "giant robot" is used to distinguish limbed vehicles from other mechanical devices. The word "mecha" ( メカ, meka) is an abbreviation, first used in Japanese, of the word " mechanical". Alternatively, in the original Japanese context of the word, "mecha" may refer to mobile machinery/vehicles (including aircraft) in general, manned or otherwise. The term may also refer to real world piloted humanoid or non-humanoid robotic platforms, either currently in existence or still on the drawing board (i.e. The concept of Super Robot and Real Robot are two such examples found in Japanese anime and manga. Different subgenres exist, with varying connotations of realism.
These machines vary greatly in size and shape, but are distinguished from vehicles by their humanoid or biomorphic appearance and size-bigger than a human. The term was first used in Japanese ( meka) after shortening the English loanword mekanizumu ( メカニズム, 'mechanism') or mekanikaru ( メカニカル, 'mechanical'), but the meaning in Japanese is more inclusive, and "robot" ( robotto) or "giant robot" is the narrower term. Mechas are typically depicted as humanoid walking vehicles. The term mecha ( Japanese: メカ, Hepburn: meka) may refer to both scientific ideas and science-fiction genres that center on giant robots or machines ( mechs) controlled by people.
