>>3554373I mean you're not wrong, it's just there aren't many where they fuse with the mech itself and are a part of it, there's an actual mecha in Symphogear that's made up of the user's symphogear so that would be a pretty good example from that show.
But for better examples however: Diebuster, and GaoGaiGar; neither of them have a cockpit, they fuse with it instead.
