As shown here from the original Mobile Suit Gundam (used the movie version for anyone curious), a mobile suit has a sound system that allows it to receive sounds from outside the cockpit with the pilot being able to reply from the inside. Where would the receiver and transmitter (forgive me for not using better terms at this point) for the mobile suit's sound system be located to make sure a conversation occurs between the pilot in a mobile suit's cockpit and someone outside a mobile suit's cockpit?

>>23922353Nigga it a cartoon.
>>23922353It's the vibrating minovsky particles.
>>23922353Advanced AI systems combine camera feeds and pressure changes picked up by sensors on the plating and reconstruct what people are saying. the entire frame is used as a resonator to transmit the pilot's voice.
There are some schematics of the Gundam, they're in Japanese but maybe one of them has any information about it
The Gundam has a giant directional microphone when Amuro is spying on one of M'Quve's mines.
>>23922353It's all in the head.
>>23922353Early mecha is, at its core, an elevation of the physical (and on occasion, spiritual) abilities of the protagonist via a mechanically distinct extension of their very own being. For all intents and purposes, when Amuro is in the cockpit, the Gundam IS Amuro. So if the Gundam is within earshot of someone speaking, then so too is Amuro. You can see this in almost any mecha show too; I can't think of a single one in which a pilot can't hear what people say outside the cockpit, even ones that are occupied with technological verisimilitude like Gasaraki, Dougram, GitS:SAC, etc.
>>23922839>Gundam>early mechaShut the fuck up.
>>23922848most early filmed robots go back to the 1930s, so between 1927->1979->2026 it's not exactly the dawn of time but it's def about the halfway point
>>23922903Daitarn was already poking fun at the genre, by Gundam's inception it was already late stage mechaism.
>>23922353You see those face vents? Those are actually speakers and mics.
>>23922353>receiversall over the place, you want to be able to pick up as much audio data as the suit can process which is A LOT anything from sounds to help identify friend and foe, other hazards and even the enviroment>emitterslogically somewhere around the chest or head
>>23922353due to the nature of minovisky particles blocking radar waves. mobile suits probably have sound sensors all around the body, in order to capture any incoming sound as a way to detect enemies before visual range.
>>23922935>>23923436Thank you
>>23923436>>23922935not just sound, but also vibration. it's fairly standard for MS to be able to communicate not just over radio but just through physical contact and touch. even the human-sized spacesuits have this tech to a degree not as sensors but only for communication
>>23922918How does that work if mobile suits are 15-25 meters. Maybe when in maintenance and that the pilot has to communicate with the maintenance crew in making hardware register with software, but making face vents part of the sound system is redundant elsewhere.
>>23923593it's a human thing to do that, part of the reason why they are built to resemble human features even if the technology is at a point where it doesn't actually need to look like that at all and\or there are more optimal ways to do itthey keep putting (main) sensors in the head even if they could go anywhere, they keep giving them fingers and triggers even if the weapon doesn't require mechanical input to run a physical firing mechanism, etc etc
>>23922353See those two lines on the mouthguard? Those are speakers. And the vents on the sides of the head is the microphone.
You people don't even watch the show you discuss every fucking day.
>>23923610>>23923669Then how come the Dom and its derivatives, the GM and its derivatives, the Kampfer, the Gyan, the Rick Dias, the Gabthley, the Gaza-C and its derivatives, the Bawoo, the Ga-Zowmn, the Zssa, the R-Jarja, the Doven Wolf, the Geymalk, and the Quin Mantha avoided mouth vents, thus not really needed them as speakers.
>>23923669>>23922918uh huh sure thing little buddy
>>23923706Gundam powered by Tomino.
>>23923798>Gundam powered by Tomino.
>>23923706How do you know that isn't the mic?
Simple implication, given that Gundam pilots talk all the time to the opponent even without a comm line having be stablished on-screen, be by a automatic process or by Newtype fuckery.
