You dig giant robots! I dig giant robots! Chicks dig giant robots!

Now the real question is which ones do you love? This thread is dedicated to our favorite robots from childhood and adulthood!


One of my favorites is inarguably the OP Gurren Lagann

(In no particular order)
1. Gundam 00 Raiser (Skip to about 2 minutes in for the one I'm referring to) (Yes, it easily destroys asteroids)

2. Shinken-Oh (1:14-3:18)

Aside from the obvious choice of Mechagodzilla, most of the things I'd pick would be from Power Rangers.

I was always fond of the Q-Rex (yes, that stands for Quantumsuarus, because fuck you) from Power Rangers: Time Force. I loved the three or so recycled clips from the original series of just the Tyrannosaurus fighting, and this was basically a souped up version that didn't look stupid. Instead of having this big dumb looking boxhead, it was sleep and viscous looking, and it didn't try to swing around it's little arms, it would just duck down and streak into you, latch on and try to thrash you around until you were on the ground, or whatever was in it's mouth gets torn the hell off. Also helps it could turn into a biped with a tail and blow your ass up with a revolving missile launcher arm and twin shoulder mounted energy beams.

Now, if you want to see how NOT to design a giant mecha robot, look to RPMs Ultrazord. It's like someone was blindfolded, covered in glue, spun in circles and then sent running through a toy store.

I have several 'favorite' mecha.

When I was a kid, I fell in love with the MBR-04 Mk.6 from SDF-Macross, the Destroid Tomahawk.



It still remains one of my all-tie favorites.




About five years ago, I'd come across the anime 'Full Metal Panic', and I loved it!  For me, it's a perfect match of anime Comedy, high-school romance, big-mecha, and drama.  It's truly one of the best I've ever seen.

So, with that in mind, I've got to say that the ARX-7 Arbalest is one of my favorites, too.






And, what self-respecting mecha fiend would go without mentioning their favorite Gundams?  I have two.

The 00-Raiser...



From 'Gundam-00'

And, the RX-79(G)...



From '08th MS Team'.

If you like your Mecha not so giant, try the first two Lost Planet games. The robots are only about as big as the power suits in the Matrix movies on average, and they vary wildly in what they can do. There is a rather beast one with jet skating and a chainsword though.

Wajin

I have so many that it's kinda hard to pick to be honest, but I know my favourite is the lovely 侍ノ弐 Sengoku Astray Gundam



I have to say Valvrave 1 after that

I have taken the Oath of the Drake

Okay.... After watching the newest episode of Gundam Build Fighters Try I have to say... Transient Gundam and the Build Burning have shot up quite far on my list <.<

*is so giddy and happy he has to share "my daughter is an awesome nerd" moment with people on the internet* 

So, my office is locked whenever I am not in there, and my girls don't really come in there as they're kinda scared of it as they think it's scary it's locked all the time. In there I have all my gundam stuff, all my figurines all my artbooks etc. So, my oldest got curious today while I was sitting in there just doing random stuff for Uni. She knocked politely and then came in. She was very, very much interested in all the gundams. 3 days ago I received my MG Shin Musha Gundam Sengoku no Jin. So, I asked her, since I was not really that far in the assembly if she wanted to watch, maybe even help me assemble it, and she was ecstatic. So, we did that, it didn't take that long actually, got it into an awesome pose. So, she noticed some of my SDs and asked if those were for kids. I said "Well, somewhat, the models can be a bit hard to assemble, but I think we could find one you could do on your own" So... we did :D So now my girl is getting a SD Zaku II :D

She just walked in, took one look at me then held out her hand and said "Dad said you have a DVD of that SD thing... give it to me, I wanna watch it before bed" Cheeky little thing :P of course I gave it to her

I can't find any pictures that arn't toys. But I really like the Super Sentai Gokaiger/Power Rangers Super Megaforce Megazord. I just like pirates so that might be why. Also love Gurren Lagann, and any of its other forms.  And finally Metal Gear Excelsus is pretty awesome as well.

I'm watching Try right now, so maybe later I'll be able to share some Gundams I like.

*nods* Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger's main mech (Gokai-Oh) was an interesting little number, mostly due to its support mecha.

I liked Gokai Oh more than I liked its Power Ranger counterpart on the basis it served as Gokaigers base and it fit with the theme of the show about Sentai Pirates.

People as of late love complaining over who would win in Superman vs. Goku. Well I personally think they can both eat their heart out when it comes to Gurren Lagann.

Not sure if I'd call him a mecha, but honorary mention goes to the Big P! He died for the NPCs of an MMO after all.


When I was a kid, they had the tagline. "The Biggest Sci Fi Adventure since Star Wars!" on the Swedish VHS boxes of Robotech...I preferred it to Star Wars I must admit.


Okay, every mecha in BGC 2033 is pure awesome gold, but the D.D Battlemover was the most badass-looking of them all. This thing kicked ass, and it had a nuclear device within to spite-f*ck you if you killed it.

Oh yes Prime definitely deserves to be in this thread. Its for both mecha and robots after all so he definitely counts :)


Now I was digging through Youtube and I found this beautiful clip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C3Ma_o3XiA

How many other mechas start as a five car train before proceeding to go up a ramp. Fly in the sky while detaching from each other. Combine into a giant mech that stands taller than the bad guys. Glides back down onto the tracks and skids across the tracks and then unleash Power Ranger/Super Sentai justice with a GIANT GATLING GUN AND MISSLE LAUNCHER COMBO?!

I'm pretty sure that was a stop-motion animation clip of the mecha toy being transformed...used as actual show footage?

CaptainNexus616

I dunno about that but if it was...that technically wouldn't be the first time since Power Rangers did it before as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgI_Uv1jZdo

The first one with the original Megazord was stock footage from Japan. The ones with the Ninja and Shogun however are toys being used. The obvious sign is the Dragonzord chest piece beneath the Ultrazord neck and the if you closely with Shogun one of its arms is pink just like the toy. They didn't even go through the effort of repainting it white.

None taken. This is honestly the weirdest sentai mecha besides that weird gosei-ostrich thing....


TheGlyphstone

It has a BeyBlade for a hat.

Yukina

To me the weirdest thing about Shurikenjin is that despite its odd component mechs, it actually makes a cohesive robot.


CaptainNexus616

I can't really use the "Its not matching the theme" excuse here either since Gokaiger despite being pirates had a crazy ensemble as well. A pirate ship that also contained a spaceship, two trucks, and a sub. While Gokai Silver had a giant dino robot with a drill tail and they used a dragster race car to form their combination super mecha. That's not even counting all the other crazy stuff it could do lol

Don't mind me, just coming through with the most adorable giant killer robot ever. :P

Sadly I can't watch the video, but just form the thumbnail that robot reminds me of Registeel from Pokémon. I guess that whether Steel-types count as Mechs or not is up for debate though, but here goes. :P

You know that really does have the general look of the Kapool Mech. While the Registeel technically isn't a mech since Pokémon are animals I wouldn't be surprised if they did base the Registeel after it.

I've got two.

One, as has been mentioned before, the Valkyries of Macross SDF-1, particularly Roy Fokker's:

Well on its own its kinda cool looking. Personally it should have more silver since it's the Silver Ranger's Zord for crying out loud.

Though I do find it kinda lame that this is supposed to be the same Q-Rex many of us grew up with.

It would be fine without the big dopey looking boxead on that long neck, it looks awkward. The original Q-Rex looked and moved like a raptor, this is more like Godzilla in a neck brace.

CaptainNexus616

Well it looks like its paying homage to several Dino zords at once.

Using the Green Mighty Morphin Key configured it into a shape similar to the Dragonzord.

It has the Q-Rex name obviously.

now when the  White Dino Thunder Key is used I feel they are definitely paying homage to the Dino Thunder Megazord with that freaking awesome Drill Tail gimmick .

Since someone already mentioned the most awesome mech in the history of ever (Tengeen Toppa Gurren Lagann) I'll put in the first one I ever saw in a video-game and loved to pieces

The lovely 4-legged walker in the background



The Mammoth was one of my favourite units back from the days of Tiberian Sun so boss only one could be deployed on the battlefield at a time, truly a machine of war.

If video game mecha are eligible, let me go no further than the Terran Goliath.

Hmmm, not sure if this is off topic, but you do so giant robots... I recently replayed Half Life 2, and I forgot just how perfect the robot designs were in that game.

The Combine armored weaponry are more Synthetic in nature, as they are an amalgamation of Mechanical and Organic components. ie. seeing Dog rip the brain out of a Strider in Episode 2. However since we only have confirmation that the Strider is at least this way it's safe to assume the Combine made all their machines in this fashion, to give them better battlefield adaptability. Still I think the Strider at least counts as a Robot.
