GUNDAM COCKPIT HOW TO
GUNDAM COCKPIT SERIES

Unfortunately the only thing he managed was that the monster went completely and unstoppably berserk. Finally Go lost his patience and blew the controls up, thinking that would stop it. However, Sho does not manage to keep it under control, no matter what she does.

In Getter Robo Go, Go and Sho try to hijack a Robeast in the first arc.

Hayato- who was still shellshocked after seeing a humanoid lizard eating his friends and a giant, flying dinosaur bringing down his school- tried to protest he didn't want to do this. However, in a manga chapter, Ryoma literally shoved a shell-shocked Hayato into the cockpit, placed a helmet-like contraption on his head and told him it was a computer that would help him to drive the jet. It isn't until episode four that Kouji's actually shown controlling it without it falling on its ass.

It happens again in Mazinkaiser - when Kouji finds and takes up the titular mecha, it goes on a rampage.

Fortunately, Great Mazinger's controls were pretty similar to the original's, and by that point he had several years of experience.

In another occasion he got to pilot Great Mazinger, and he was worried he wouldn't know how to pilot it. He stated the controls were too complicated to him.

On the other hand, Kouji avoided the trope twice: Kouji tried to pilot Grendizer once during an emergency, and he was unable.

Maria, on the other hand, was trained to pilot the Drill Spacer.

On the other hand, Duke -and Hikaru- from UFO Robo Grendizer play it straight.

And averted by Tetsuya and Jun from Great Mazinger, that were trained for years.

It was subverted with Sayaka, who was taught to pilot Aphrodita A.

and Kouji soon revealed he was a quick-thinker that could come up with new strategies on the fly.

Sayaka and her father did their best to teach him quickly, but until then he only survived due to Mazinger's impressive weaponry and sturdy body armor. Mazinger went on a rampage the first time he activated it because he kept punching random buttons as he tried to learn controling the damned thing (in the original manga he almost destroyed one whole city and in the anime he almost gets his little brother killed), and he got beaten in his first battles. Kouji Kabuto, the first Humongous Mecha pilot, knew absolutely nothing about piloting a giant robot or any manner of robot, really and in the first few episodes it shows.

Mazinger Z: The first Humongous Mecha anime used this trope showed it in a more realistic way than later shows.

The Soviet Union particularly valued easily-learned equipment (and Russia has inherited that priority) the T-54/T-55 series of tanks (and engineering vehicles based on them) have basically the same controls as a large truck, except that they have steering levers instead of steering wheels. Some military vehicles (helicopters, aircraft) will never be easy to pick up on the fly, but there's equipment out there that's specifically designed to be easy to operate. This trope isn't necessarily as contrived or nonsensical as it might first appear. It could be that all the normal pilots were wearing Red Shirts that day, or the fact that the machine is kind of an Empathic Weapon, and can only key itself to its first pilot (or just likes him better), but for the time being, he's stuck in the cockpit of an engine of destruction, whether he wants to or not. Of course, the problem afterwards is how to keep them in the machine after the crisis has passed. Our hero might have an assload of raw talent, secretly be a Replacement Goldfish, part of the next stage in Human evolution or just play videogames a lot, but whatever the reason, he now has to pilot the thing in the middle of a battle (where he is now a prime target) just to get out of the situation alive.
