No Right Answer: Best Giant Ever: Robots vs Monsters

[Imp_Emissary]

Spoiler: Obviously there is only one answer to Giant Monster vs. Giant Robot.

Giant Robot Monsters.

;D Why chose, when we can have both?

Anyway, can't wait to see Pacific Rim tomorrow. ;D Happy birthday to me!

 

[Negatempest]

Yeah! I get to post this image again!

THE greatest giant robot who is better than any giant monster. (I love Gurren Lagann, but Simon is by far the best thing in the anime, than the team, than the giant robots)
List of accomplishments
-Defeated Voltron.
-Nearly defeated Sailor Moon and company
-Destroyed Halo on his own by accident
-Extremely user friendly.

I could name more, but the paint job is just wicked and chicks love giant robots. Thus giant robots beat giant monsters.

I THOUGHT THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO MENTION THE IRON GIANT.

AND THEN THEY DID!!

BRAVO YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS!

Also robots look cooler /instawin.

 

[somonels]

Kyle should win simply for being able to drink while wearing monster hands.

Robots are better 'cause they can do anything than monsters can do, and do it better.

And Chris dropped his makeshift shaded monocle.
Kyle remains victorious.

What was that thing meant to be anyway? A futuristic eyepatch? A subtle reference that went completely over my head?

This is one of the funniest episodes you guys ever did! And bravo to the Escapist overall for all this fanfare leading up to Pacific Rim, even though it's not a video game.

The lack of EVAs (wich are kinda/sorta monsters themselves), Megas-XLR and Symbionic Titan greatly dissapoints me.

I always digged giant robots more than giant monsters, I've never felt sympathetic for a giant monster before (except maybe King Kong), I just like them as antagonists, a giant punching bag and a great excuse to clean out the dust from our giant robots and take them out for a ride.

No gurren Laggan either. they just kept making it bigger and bigger! There's no competition against that!

 

[Deimir]

Not even a nod to Gundam in the whole episode? I am disappoint.

Probably something makeshift as he didn't have anything suitable. Reminded me of Jensen's glasses from DX:HR.

Probably because they're Monsters and Giant Robots. I was so hoping to hear the argument "Now be honest - when you were watching EVA, were you rooting for Shinji to beat the Giant Monsters (aka Angels) or for the Giant Monsters to tear him out of the EVA, stomp on him for 15 straight minutes before finally throwing him into space?"

Giant Monsters FTW!

 

[uchytjes]

Giant robots all the way. I mean, they almost always win out against any monster opponent in the end.

 

[Miss G.]

Chicks dig giant robots, it's gotta be true, it's in a goddamn song.


Also seriously disappointed by the lack of MEGAS in this argument. (Besides the one image.)

I'm a chick and I approve of giant robots. Also, I wish they'd put MEGAS XLR back on the air, but such is Cartoon Network.
Back to the debate, pilot-able giant robots should win, especially if they have epic paint jobs.

 

[Eliwood10]

All this talk of giants and no one has mentioned this thing?

 

[RTR]

Giant robots and giant monsters? Why can't I just have both?

 

[Aptspire]

Japan does not have a 1:1 statue of Godzilla.
Japan *does* have a 1:1 statue of the first Gundam model.
GG, giant monsters.

 

[RandV80]

Here's how it can be decided. Which ever one is the coolest to fight against wins.

Sure giant robots are cool but it's usually with another giant robot. Giant monsters on the other hand... Shadow of the Colossus anyone?

Are they really 'monsters' though? The big baddies in Shadow of the Colossus seem more like giant golems or constructs, lots of dirt and stone held together and given sentience through dark magic. I don't really see them fitting into either category.

 

[Sel Sama]

You Can Pilot Giant Monsters!!
Neon Genesis Evangelion, people pilot Giant Monsters that are wearing armour.

The girl in the picture was the pilot of the monster in the background

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what it was supposed to be. I grabbed it and thought it'd look all roboty, but it turned out to be harder to keep in my eye than I remember it being when I was in high school.

 

[Jacked Assassin]

I doubt that because robots can look like monsters (or animals) is a valid argument for monsters because humans are animals. And if I were to continue that point Humans would win because both monsters & robots have had human like bodies.

But for me Giant Robots ultimately win because
Gundam (08 MS Team, 0083)
Code Geass
Eureka 7
EscaFlowne
Gurren Lagann
Big O
Megas XLR
The Robot in District 9
The Robots in Jame Cameron's Avatar
The Original Steel Battalion on The Original Xbox
MechWarrior
Giant Robots being added to Killzone 2
Giant Robots being added to Halo 4
Titanfall
Dwarven Robots from The Elder Scrolls
Sentinels from X-Men

Giant Monsters on the other hand have yet to fully grab my interest.
I've never cared for the guy in the monster suits that are mostly from Japan.
King Kong suing Donkey Kong was rude (Where's Hong Kong Phooey when you need him?)
I liked Godzilla 1998 but looking back I can see why it was bad.
With that in mind I didn't like Cloverfield for similar reasons.

Robots. giant mosnters just make no sense. them being giatn makes them no longer scary.
Robots however can be any size and and form and still do everything.
giant mosnters dont even make sense frmo biological eprspective. there is no way king king would not fall apaprt when rela physics is applied. such creatures just cant survive in reality. giant robots - no problem - we already got that.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

What about giant cyborg monsters?
