Mine's is tied with the Lion version of Voltron and Frankenstein Jr. Gigantor was just too bulky, but the Robotech transforming jetships were cool. Anybody else?

Transformers Metroplex.

I mean come on, he was a city. ( though there was ONE larger robot...)

Probably a tie between Evangelion Unit 01 and Soundwave. Soundwave counts as a giant robot, right? :confused:

Hehe, he might not be the best, but Iron Giant deserves at least an honorable mention! Now, if only I had a pic of his transformation...

No way - I was just going to mention the big ol lug that is the Iron Giant :D.

How about the Sentinels - they were pretty kewl threats and Master Mold was a great villain in the X-books for a while.

My favorites would have to be Eva-00 (Rei's EVA) or Bender from "Futurama". (He was a giant robot once. In "The Anthology of Interest", Bender asks the what-if machine was life would be like if he's a giant robot ala the Iron Giant.)

Lessee...

The Iron Giant
The Sentinels (from X-Men): That first Sentinel story in X-Men:TAS still thrills me. Don't ask me why. Sentinels seem to go in cycles in the comics: stupid, then cool, then repeat.

And it's probably not technically a robot, but I've gotta mention it: The CLOD from Xyber 9, Mick's weapon of choice. It's one heckuva cool toy, too.

My favorite giant robots are Gekiganger, Gundam Wing and Deathsythe, and, I guess, Iron Giant. :D

Well, there's Tranzor Z, Johnny Socko's Flying robot, Ultraman (I hope I'm not dating anyone with some of these), Just about any of the Transformers, just about any mecha from Robotech, and Mechagodzilla.

Ooh, I forgot all about Ultra-Man and MechGodzilla! :D (My dad was a HUGE fan of that)

about EVA 01, "he" is just too unpredictable. sometimes "he" won't work but sometimes "he" turns berserker. not very efficient and can be dangerous.

Optimus Prime.... I mean, this guy's the Captain America of all giant robots.

You pick a leader of all big robots.... it's gonna be Optimus Prime.

Big O.... old school meets new school, full on.

Great Hidden Generals from Kakuranger.

And could somebody tell me where that fully updated Tranzor Z picture comes from??? Did they redo his anime like they did Getter Robo???
