It's probably not too much of a stretch to assume many of us here are big mecha fans outside of gaming-- so let's list some of our favorite giant robots from other media! What's your favorite mecha series or franchise_

VOTOMS and Patlabor are my personal favs.

[Flyingdebris]

from any particular place_

District 9 exosuit, hands down.

longest running favorite.  Atlas from battletech, just because.

[Irrelevant]

Anubis from Zone of the Enders

Probably the Vulture. Or the Mad Cat simply for being so iconic.

[lavalamp1138]

I love the Iron Giant, Metal Gear REX, the District 9 Exosuit, and I'll throw in the Tachikomas for good measure

[JackDandy]

Too many to count. That's no fair!

Normally i would just go with the GN-0000 00 from Gundam 00 Season 2 (aka exia r2)

But ever since i've seen Break Blade this is my new fav. mech.

damnit LAVA! took the good ones.(I agree the Iron Giant is one of my favorite films too) Well what can I do.
I'll take Metal Gear RAY,
Nine Ball(old model),
Orleans(I like Anjou the pilot),
Mad Cat (Thats my t3h pwnd machine lol),
Heavyarms both first gen and custom,
Holy type SV from Phantom Crash,
Arbalest ARX-8 form Full Metal Panic (Al is freaking funny),
Dann of Thursday from Gun X Sword,
Kampfer from War in Pocket (That thing was armed to the teeth!),
OH! Tripods from War of the worlds (2005),
Macross/robotech (dont know the robot name) but this series basically got me into giant robots

[LutherP]

Mechwarrior 2 was the first game that got me into giant robots, so I'd have to say the Summoner is one of my favorites of all time, I just absolutely love asymmetrical designs.

While it wasn't a good series, Gasaraki had some fantastic mecha designs, the model kits were astonishingly good (if only they weren't out of print).

There will always be a special place in my heart for the Titans of the Warhammer 40k universe. They're big and solid, slow and stompy. Forgeworld has done some pretty good work in bringing those to life with their huge and impossibly expensive model kits.

Given that I was one of the crazy bastards who played Steel Battalion back in the day, I'd be a fool for not mentioning some of those designs. The Regal Dress series of VTs and the Scareface are great designs. Hai Shi Dao forever! Repel the foreign invaders!

Five Star Stories, though a little obscure has some of the more different mecha designs you'll see. Specifically check out the Knight of Gold, Bang Doll and Schpeltor designs.

Titans! How could I forget Titans! Giant robots don't come much gianter! Look at the little dudes around it's feet!

Woah, while I was reading this I had Armored Core 3 on behind me  
Also, Wasn't Nine-Ball in Armored Core - Master Of Arena_

Yeah, it was the main antagonist's AC. Nine-Ball Seraph was also in Master of Arena.

[Iconic]

It's XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms (Gundam Zero-Three) for me.
Look... at... the... firepower....

Steel Battalion mech designs based on realism and functionality of the mech:
http://robert-013744... ... 0_offset=0

1st gen Falchion for you realism types,


2nd gen Prominence M2 for the early Gundam fans,


3rd gen Quasar with Railgun for the fusion powered Gundam fans,

[LordPorkSword]

I favour one robot more than any other!
No other robots have the style, deviousness or a shinier metal ass than BENDER!
