Or instead of wasting a post with personal schedule dictating, we can all just debate Mecha Security (old related existing article on MAHQ continuity debate).
There are also those circumastances where the future pilot meets up with the Mech because it either moved on its own or was revealed because of an attack (as in Dual, where the mech crashes and the hatch opens, with the real pilot injured inside. I think in the Zone of the Enders game the place where the mech was stored was attacked, so the future pilot had an opening.)
At least in G Gundam, the control system for the gundam was its own security. Like when the kid got into God Gundam, and the material that covers his body nearly kills him.
But yes, security on Robots is really lacking. They are constantly left out/not guarded, and with expensive and complex machines like those, you'd atleast think they would all have a key card or voice system. Like couldn't all Zaku's require a Zeon Pilot Card? Or maybe have a connection to a large database with all pilots and then could use a scanning (eye, voice, dna) system.
Of course, random kids getting into Mechs and becoming awesome pilots is just one of those things that has to be accepted, because it is one of those impossible events that starts a series.
Like what are the chances that a bounty hunter whose top 3 dislikes are kids, animals, and women with attitude would end up having all three with him?
On a semi-related note, I added some COURAGE to my
