"Why not?"
That was the answer Bandai Namco's Tatsuhiro Suzuki fired back when I asked a question bordering on the perverse: Does Gundam Breaker 4 let you mix regular and SD Gundam parts while cobbling together a mecha of your very own? To demonstrate, one of the developers selected the normally-sized head of our in-progress Gundam build and swapped it for one of the chibi, or "super-deformed," Gundam head pieces, like someone surgically attaching Clifford the Big Red Dog's noggin to a dachshund. Then to prove the point, he tapped a button to make the head even bigger before scaling it down to something more size-appropriate for the rest of our build. Still, we'd basically just put a pair of googly eyes on a war machine.
