Not sure if it counts, but one of the other mechs I've really liked is the Zaber Fang from Zoids.

If it is piloted, it counts.  

Oh, another one I just thought of, The Big O.  



The show may have ended, poorly, but the mech designs were still beautiful.  (Also, chose to use this picture since it's one of the most impressive mech cosplayers I've seen).

Well, given my screen name, first honors have to go to this guy:



Though ultimately I do find his custom mode from Endless Waltz to be far more badass.


But Aaron, if Sandrock and Optimus Prime got into a fight.. Oh wait, it's fucking Sandrock, ofcourse it loses.


ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam



This to me is probably one of the coolest of what I consider "functional" mecha designs. (Yes, Wing Zero Custom will always be cool, but metallic angel wings?)

and it has multi-lock, non lethal beam spam, for all your boy scout needs.

I really like Sandrock. I can't deny the thing is the Magikarp of Gundams.

Hey,  Magikarp evolves into fucking Gyarados.  Sandrock is more the Cascoon of Gundams.

Gyarados talked a big game, resistance to grass, immunity to ground, but he still gets double fucked by lightning.

You know, I just realized most of these things aren't robots, their mecha, standing tanks with pilots. Patrick is the only dude with a robot.

And in the spirit of magical robots, I select the bronze giant from Jason and the Argonauts.

When people say giant robots, 9 times out of 10 they mean mechas.

Oh yeah, recently watched Yatterman, had plenty of good giant robot action.

Starting off with a giant robot (fine, mech) with a wok for a helmet that shot metal carrot missiles out of its penis.
And Yatterwoof, a giant red dog robot (actually a robot) which suffered death by snoo snoo.

Gotta love Japan.

*edit, just to be clear, even taking that clip and the fact that the main bad guy is a little pig man who steals people's bodies by teabagging them and the next mech after the titty-machine gun one is a tentacle robot, its not a porn, its just fucked up and japany. Still, good movie.

I'm from Alaska. About Fifty miles south of Ankorage there's a little fishing town, maybe you've heard of it, it's called fuck your momma.

Question:  Are these from a particular series or just original online art?
