Which giant robot is the greatest of them all?



Megatron - leader of the evil Decepticons, he's spiny, alien, and has that awesome arm blaster which can suck power from black holes.

Optimus Prime - leader of the good Autobots, he can fight Megatron and turn into a truck.

Giant Robo - In the Japanese movie and TV series, he protected Johnny Sakko and had missile fingers along with a pyramid skull!

The Iron Giant - he's just a nice guy from outer space, but he looks so scary that the government wants to steal him from his young friend.

Gort - he was big in the 1950s "Day the Earth Stood Still," but enormous in the remake, capable of breaking down into a swarm of nanobots. Either way, awesome, right?

Robots from "Robot Jox" - antiwar machines (???) controlled by people inside them, these bots do everything, including make penis jokes. Bonus: The movie was written by scifi great Joe Haldeman.

Giant robot fighters in MechAssault games - Get inside your mega mech armor, and smash the shit out of stuff. Yeah.

Ultron - he's not giant, but he can be massive. One time he created an entire robot army made entirely out of himself. And he also turned Iron Man into a woman by hacking the Iron Suit.

The Harvester from Terminator 4 - It's huge, plucks people up into a scary cage, carries sentient motorcycles in its thighs, and makes a scary "rrrrm rrrrrm" sound.

The K1 robot from Doctor Who - Spawned by a secret "Think Tank" project, K1 goes on a killing rampage after being misled by its evil programmers. Luckily Sarah Jane is nice to it and saves the day.

No Voltron on the list? 5 robots that form a larger robot that can then create a sword out of nothing?

What sort of poll is this? No Gigantor? (for the name alone surely). None of the seeming millions of Anime giant robots piloted by school children. How about the giant Eddie Murphy from that movie that sank without a trace? The giant Cyberman (Cyberking was it?) from the recent Dr Who. Mega Maid from Spaceballs. The list is endless and this poll doesn't even scratch the surface.
