I think my concern with stuff like the Technodrome and Gundams is that they're fucking enormous (the Technodrome is, what, like a half mile in diameter? I'm not sure about Mobile Suits, but I've seen the smaller ones) and at a certain point if, let's say you get stranded right after a space battle and you blow a gasket and you can only turn left, well then, you better hope AAA covers it. Or that one of your fellow Gundam pilots can give you a ride, assuming they can carry one person.
And the thing about Japan and Germany during those times is the sense of nationalism they instilled in the working classes who would produce all the necessary materials and services, and/or their respective abilities to force people to work super hard for the sake of their nation whether they wanted to or not. So man, the Gundam universe must have some super patriotic proletariat people who really, really believe in the Galactic Empire or whatever those shows are about (no disrespect; I really have no idea).
