Giant Robots!!

[God'sFist]

What are your favorite giant robots from anywhere or anything. Mine happen to be

And hey, while we're at it, why not some 40K?

Spoiler: Space Marine Dreadnought

Spoiler: Imperial Titan, All Classes

As you can tell, I like my mech/robots big and ugly.

 

[Zepherus14]

I'd honestly have to go with Megas from Megas XLR, because chicks dig giant robots.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

Not necessarily the greatest design, but I have a certain fondness for "Orange" from Aldnoah Zero.

Spoiler

Seriously, whatever faults this show has (loooots) it was the perfect response to what had worn me out of the mecha genre. The tired tripe of the main character getting the best robot and just steamrolling hundreds of other people who didn't get the best robot. This show flips that on its head and gives all the villains the best robots, and the main character and their allies are woefully outmatched, but they still have to make do with what they have. They also flip the numbers, typically the good guys outnumber the villains.

From what I've seen, I also like a lot of the designs in Muv Luv too, although I haven't watched the show

Spoiler

MS-14A Gelgoog

Spoiler

[HEADING=2]= * * * =[/HEADING]

 

[Fox12]

Well, the answer is obvious:

It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling dooooown.

Alternatively the Gurren Lagann, which I'm surprised no one mentioned yet.

 

[Objectable]

GUndam has taken over my sad trans life.

Personal faves are the grimorie

[WindKnight]

Favorite is still the good old classic VF-1 Valkyrie from macross

Spoiler

Close Second is Windam from Rayearth(some may nitpick this choice, but he and the other Mashin are definately meant to invoke mecha)

Spoiler

Long-Fang Black Mamba from Heavy Gear

Spoiler

Stormrider from Jovian Chronicles

Spoiler

Aaliyah from Armored Core 4

Spoiler

Fei-Yen from Virtual-on

Spoiler

aaaand I'm gonna stop here or I'll be here all night listing off and sourcing picture

 

[FalloutJack]

Damnit all the good ones are taken, and I don't want to be the boring one saying TTGL.
I'll Take the Gurren from Code geese (misspeling intended), the show became shit in the second show and Lancelot was ridiculously broken, boring robot. But Gurren was badass with a badass pilot and had thermal claws.

Saying Gurren Lagann is not a crime. IT'S THE MANLIEST CHOICE THERE CAN BE!!

OT: There are alot of good entries here, and alot of them hit my high fave spots, including Big O and Megas and a number of others. But...since I don't want to be a copycat, I'm kicking it old school!


Nobody beats the five lions! Nobody! Just ask Uncle Yo.

 

[FuzzyRaccoon]

Man I need to save this thread, this takes me back.

So many good choices. Not my favorite series but I thought it was really fun to have mechs surfing.

Spoiler: Nirvash

 

[Scarim Coral]

Let's see-

Spoiler: Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann

Come on! It's the sizes of several galaxies! I never seen anything like it!

Also I just so happened to bought a Jeager figure from the film Pacific rim

Spoiler: Romeo Blue figure

Ok technically Crimson Typhoon is my favourite from the film cos Blue only made a cameo. Before you asked me why I didn't get Typhoon in figure form, well it was a tough choise. It was either that, blue or Tatic Ronin but from what I read Crimon was abit too top heavy and while Ronin had better ankle meaning better poseablity but I didn't like the overal shape of it. Romeon Blue won me over and I enjoyed the figure for the most part. I typed most cos the figure came out really stiff upon opening out of the package but using an hairdryer sorted it out but the only flaw it got is that one of the knee joint is still glue so it lost abit of poseability.

As for the Gundams-

Spoiler: GuAIZ

I really like the design for it being a grunt suit and it was lackluster at best.

Spoiler: Astray Gundam Red Frame

By gods the model of it was godly. I loved how sharped it was compared to the usual blocky Gundam that some tend to be!

Spoiler: Claunche Custom

Another bias opinion cos I owned a model of it. I like how different compared to the leader grunt mobile suit. They usually dark colour but its like and I like its simplistic design, it look quite clear.
