Yeah, you guys are right on the alternate form thing. Simon isn't always going to be in Lagann, and Lagann isn't going to be (completely) autonomous without him.
I'm rather on the fence about whether Lagann should be an Alternate Form or a Powered-Up Form, though. On one hand, it makes perfect sense that Simon should be drained while piloting Lagann in a fight (and if I'm keeping OM from Dante or whatnot, SP won't entirely be a concern). On the other hand, I would almost prefer that Simon be able to pilot and use Lagann in more trivial situations without fatiguing himself.
My thoughts were that Lagann would just be a power-focused Alt Form (high marks in ATK/DEF, almost nothing in TEC) and that any Powered-Up Forms would have Lagann transform into Gurren-Lagann (or some even larger form) for even more power. After all, while Lagann is quite strong, most of the power it gets arguably comes from combining with other Gunmen.
