+muryoken muryo Also they claim they're ranking the robots from a "utility"stand point. But Evas are there, you know, the "robots" with limited battery, limited range, require a lot of external support and are piloted by brats
The Getters predate Voltron and their combination made it very versatile due tu it's multiple ways it combines! Also where's Jeeg? Another very versatile mech!
Jetfire48 Can somebody tell me why? Why is it considered so powerful, since from what i understand the whole setting takes from lovecraft works in which humanity is powerless to those otherworldly tentacle gods. Yeah, gurren langgan never realy tried to break reality but if we go by that train of thought then i'd say the Getter Emperor is stronger, he is the enemy of what considered as gods in the Getter Robo multiverse and when he is complete he is going to destroy it, plus who else can weild "evolution as if it were a weapon".
+elder god demonbane i am pritty sure if STTGL would fight you mr.demon, he would just evolve beyond you and kick the shit out of you ...after all, they literally Defeated a god of a pararel universe againts all odds to Succesed over anything. my point is they've got unlimited power to always Evolve. JUST WHO THE HELL YOU THINK WE ARE !!
+GeniusSoftxD not sure if you know this but literally demonbane can become infinite in size as powerful as they are demonbane can become an unmeasureable size which to the point he had to stop cause he would literally damage an entire universe just by moving a little
+AlphaDog You must be new around here, Watchmojo hate TTGL and either don't include it in their lists (top 10 saddest anime deaths: Kamina wasn't even on the list, let alone #1) Or put it lower down than it should be, i.e. here.

gundam is good bit theres so many designs for gundam it should be farther up the list but number 1 naw also voltron shouldn't even be on the list for being an american cartoon
I hope you're not talking about the original Gundam which is known for having 2 vents on its chest and a v crest on the head. Voltron's design has stood the test of time. The symbol on the chest, wings, horns on the head, big sword and shield were what made Voltron's design better. In fact, all these design parts are still used in all version of Voltron.
@@imperatrixumbrosa8443 I heard yesterday soc Voltron is getting a reissue. The figure was so popular, it goes for 2x or 3x the original price right now. Another reason it had an bigger impact on pop culture in the whole world than Gundam.
I'm sorry, but please do not call the VF-1 Valkyrie a "Veritech" Cringed hard there with how Robotech tainted the Macross series and why we don't see M7 and later in the US.
inb4 "Evangelions aren't mechs WatchMojo!" The list pretty much makes sense, aside from Voltron being at number 1. I mean, Evangelion and Gundam should both be moved up one spot and Voltron should be number 3. That makes a lot more sense to me.
I agree with you, the evas aren't mechs, i think they should be removed of the list. To be fair i think that the Mazinger Z or the Mazinkaiser can be added
I was actually parodying the people who I assumed would say that. Even WatchMojo themselves pointed it out in the video. I think it's fair, there's really no need to get into the semantics of these things.
+FireBomberBassist At 2:40 I was thinking "Ok, they ranked the classic VF-1 over the VF-25" and then I saw "Veritech" in the corner, big disappointment.
For as much as I love Gundam and Code Geass, , the top slot really should go to either the Messiah from Macross or the Eva units from Evangelion. Both are super versatile, extremely powerful, and look absolutely gorgeous.
Grendizer? that was Mazinger Z. The Golden Age of the Robots was in the 70's with Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Ufo Robot Grendizer, Jeeg Robot, Getter Robot, Gordian, Daitarn 3, Daltanius, Gundam 0079.......these are the latest.

Josh Leitzel As been show, time and time that the list has no effect on the final results. Like the "top 10 vampires", where Dio defeat all competition by a mile, but still not in the list.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the the VF-1As called Valkyries in the original macross? I still have the full transformable one and in one of the corners they forgot to cover the japanese text and says that after the name
RahXephon, which, sorta like Evangelion I suppose, remade the world. There was also a badass scene where a badguy charges one only to evaporate upon contact with it.
Whoever made this clearly didn't watch Gurren Lagann to the end - nothing matches the dimension tearing, hole through space hopping, galaxy sized Dai Gurren Lagann at the end. No competition.
+ToroidalVortexLove Dai Gurren Lagann. that one is not one of them. the evolutions are Arc Gurren Lagann (skyscraper size), Chou Ginga Gurren Lagann (moon size), Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (galaxy size) and Chou Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (52.8 billion light years tall)
+FutileExistence Yeah, I wasn't really here to join the debate. Just wanted to make sure all the players were present. I learned long ago that this debate can never go anywhere.
I could've taken this as "just our opinion", but the most basic of mistakes were made. Bad dates on Gundam clips, showing Mazinger Z and labeling it as Grendizer, citing that Veritechs are better than a specific Valkyrie (when they are the very same thing rebranded for different adaptations.), no mention of Golion during Voltron. I can't imagine how many other videos have bad information when the most base of Mecha knowledge is gotten wrong. Horrible man, just horrible. Retry. Do it again.
We need a mortal kombat game with These mechs, the Transformers, and any other giant robot/Mech suit. How awesome would it be to fight Optimus prime with Voltron?
Pwnedgamer94 Ever heard of super robot wars its not like mortal kombat but it brings multiple mecha franchises in it they haven't gotten the transformers license yet probably cause of how expensive it is, and also Voltron isn't popular at all really in japan
Yeah no.... Gundam should have been on the first place. Voltron is not worthy enough for take the first place over Gundam. I call a rematch! Gundam is WAY more iconic to any top 10 Mechs in Anime than voltron would ever be! If it cant do good in japan and the world. then it does not deserve the first place
Gundam and Eva is worth on the list but all of the remaining should never in the list. -No Getter Robo -No Super Robot Love Trilogy -No Gaiking -No Diebuster -No Ideon Most of the iconics mechs are not in this list. The one who made this list and claiming they spend months of research for this should be shot in the head.
Logic used in this video: -Let's put 2 Macross mechas on this list, because they're basically the same but we like them. -Let's summarize Gundam's, which each of them is really different from the others, in just the original one. -Let's put EVA's in number 3, despite having the power of demi-gods that can cause an event on the Earth that basically kills everyone.
+Adam Knight Basically, Robotech is not an original series. The company that brought it to USA grabbed 3 different animes (one of them being Macross, the one with the planes that transform into robots) and mixed them into one and called it Robotech. It's like I grabbed footage from Adventure Time, Steven Universe and Gravity Falls, mixed all of that into one thing, called it something like "Crazy Adventures" and showed it to you as if it was original.
+jazzbrawl64 Cavarly Southern Cross (which is related to Macross, but not sure if it shares the same universe) and Genesis Climber Mospeada, this having absolutely nothing to do with Macross.
If you ever make an updated version gusion rebake fullcity has to be the top pick. Why? He destroyed Iok Kujan and brought us one of the most satisfying scene in anime.
I'm sorry, but a few points: 1) Gurren Lagann doesn't run on "friendship", it runs on the power of evolution and... confidence? Something like that. 2) Okay, it's widely accepted as, but it's really debatable whether EVAs are even mecha, considering how they are made. 3) #2 is a total cop out. If you have to include them, at least pick ONE :P 4) Your viewers are idiots putting it #1 above #2 :P Sorry, guys.
+Kato86 They don't always go in the order of the votes (in fact they generally don't). I checked the votes, and Voltron was 5th. Gundam was still 2nd though, Gurren Lagann took 1st. Here's the votes in case you want to check it out yourself. watchmojo.com/suggest/Top+Ten+Mechs+in+Anime
Parsa Rahimi Huh, that makes things even weirder... I would actually accept TTGL being one, despite being way less iconic because... well, final battle and all. My memories of Voltron are pretty limited but has it anything going for it despite being... undefeated? If even that?
o watchmojo, you do know that Macross and Robotech are one in the same. Also Macross being the granddaddy of all robots? Do your research, that's Gigantor and if you wanna stretch it, Astro boy. And also no Zoids? Really?
10 Patlabor - It's a fun comedy. 9 VF-25 - Agreed best suit in Macross 8 Veritech - All I see as a VF-1 Valkyrie, what is this Veritech, and the VF-25 is better anyway, It's appearance in Zero is also improved its design and showed off it's skilled. 7 Escaflowne - It's cool 6 Big O - Love it. 5 Knightmare - They are too small. 4 Gurren Laggan - All reason's you gave, also fit with Getter Robo. 3 Eva - The Unit themselves are alive, therefore doesn't count for this list, but ok then. They have there cable, with does stop there mobility. 2 Mobile Suit's - Just Mobile Suit's, ok... That's quite a number considering Build Fighters also count in there, in may as well said Gundam. 1 Voltron - Oh, it's GoLion. Really that's it, not many Super's and you forgot like everything. such as the Liger Zero, Megas XLZ, Demonbane, Gunbuster, Arm Slave's.
Show me a gundam that can survive a moons density that rivals a black hole, a fleet bombardment and some crazy ass ripper bot in the same episode. Let that gundam reach the end of space and then it can take the #1 spot. I'll even make a pretty hat for it!
I always loved the realism of Evangelion. All other mecha series just throw you a robot that moves with "magic" or "friendship" (to quote WatchMojo). NGE showed you the umbilical cords, the lauch pads, the armors, the training facilities, the software used in NERV. Even when Shinji is using his positron rifle, they show you how they will power it. And that opening theme used to give me chills.
As cool as Voltron may have been for its time, I think the Nearvosh from Eureka Seven deserves a spot on this list: using a giant surf board to fly, transforming into a car for quick ground transport, later transforming into it's own jet for a quick air-borne get-away, requiring the power of bonds formed from friendship and love to unleash its ultimate, and consequently deadly attack. Eureka Seven is all around a good series, possibly even a great one, with a good message at its heart, and not merely something used to sell toys the way other robot shows have done. And, NO, I'm not specifically saying that any particular show mentioned on this list has been made to serve that purpose. I also am a fan of Zoids, and of Zoids: Chaotic Century.
anyone else notice that while all Gundam suits were lumped together, the VF-25 Messiah and VF-1 Valkyrie were conveniently separated? Robotech is the American dub of Macross. Also the honorable mention of Grendizer... yeah that was Mazinger Z, the literally grand daddy of all piloted mecha.
So...let me get this straight. VF-25 from Macross gets 9th place, but then the VF-1 from the western version of the original Macross gets a higher spot?
Roll Brand Actually, it aired in Japan in 1981 as "Beast King Golion" But was brought to the U.S. in 1984 and is now more popularly known as "Voltron: Defender of the Universe"
Shannon Gregory except it doesn't voltron is a heavily edited anime the original anime was vastly different from voltron it was formwrly known as go beast king lion, and also voltron isn't even a great mecha theres far better mecha in general like shin getter robo, shin mazinger z, and etc
Yeah! Why would they include the US adaptations of shows? Voltron is considered an cartoon not an anime same goes for robotech a lot of the footage is from animes but they were nothing like the actual animes also go beast king lion shouldn't be number 1
@@dol_mel7487 More to the point, why would they not properly explain where the mecha originally came from? Critical research failures abound in this video, and it's clear they only did the "we rate the individual mecha, not the show" as a flimsy excuse to put the same mecha line in twice (Macross & Robotoech)
Seems the list followed US adaptation. Ending in the first release of Voltron lion force is different from the original Go-lion (more brood and violent overall). IMO gundams/mobile suits deserve the top spot better than voltron.
Correction. Honorable Mention Grendizer is actually called Mazinger. The first being chronologically linked and preceding the second in the timeline. Those two count for one hell of a series and are the ACTUAL GRAND DADDYS of Mecha series. Also check for Mazinkaizer.
Gurren lagann does got an good looking design but best? Not entirely true cause the series gurren lagann was influence by aka shin getter Robo armmeggadon had some great designs
For number 9, the VF-25F is the unit piloted specifically by the protagonist Alto Saotome, as does not possess a customized sniper rifle in its standard loadout. The unit with the sniper rifle is the VF-25G.
I cant believe evas were above Gurren Lagann, but also not even an honourable mention for appleseeds landmates or full metal panics Arbalest? Also no mention of Zoids? you could probably do a whole top 10 just on zoids.
Anyone else mad that Gurren Lagann wasn't number 1? Like he gets big enough to throw galaxies and strong enough to take an attack equal in power to the birth of the universe. It should've been Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
I don't think any of you know how big Super Tengan Toppa Gurren Laggan is. He himself is as big as the universe, but his final attack is literally more than 100x bigger than the universe. and with spiral power it could grow infinitely.
Why doesn't the 10 million light year tall mech get the #1 spot? One of its moves is throwing a goddamn galaxy!
We talking Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan the mech so big it chucks galaxies at it's opponents?

+georgeahi This list should be called "Top ten mechs from anime, for people who doesn't know anything about robots".
100% agreed, no mention of the Getters who predate Voltron and no Kotetsu Jeeg either.
+georgeahi of course
+georgeahi Totally agreed. I also would have accepted Getter Robo or GaoGaiGar as number 1.
RahXephon, which, sorta like Evangelion I suppose, remade the world. There was also a badass scene where a badguy charges one only to evaporate upon contact with it.
Anubis from Zone of Enders, Detonator Orgun, Tekkaman Blade, Arbalest from Full Metal Panic, there are so many to pick from.
VOLTRON!? Getter Robo and Mazinkaiser would tear that shit apart in seconds.
+Duke Gundam Implying they know about mech.
They also ignored Kotetsu Jeeg a mech that can be immediately customized during battle.
No way buddy
+Duke Gundam exactly what i though, like how da hell the VOLTRON even make it on here
+arcerus22 maybe the simple that pure strength alone wasn't the deciding factor in the creation of this list?
Whoever made this clearly didn't watch Gurren Lagann to the end - nothing matches the dimension tearing, hole through space hopping, galaxy sized Dai Gurren Lagann at the end. No competition.
+ToroidalVortexLove Dai Gurren Lagann. that one is not one of them. the evolutions are Arc Gurren Lagann (skyscraper size), Chou Ginga Gurren Lagann (moon size), Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (galaxy size) and Chou Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (52.8 billion light years tall)
+ToroidalVortexLove This list wasn't about the most powerful and if that were the case Demonbane makes TTGL look like less than nothing
+FutileExistence I'mma just throw Getter Emperor into this so we have all the major players from this years old debate present :p
Bombastuss That's nice but... Elder God Demonbane stomps them both
+FutileExistence Yeah, I wasn't really here to join the debate. Just wanted to make sure all the players were present. I learned long ago that this debate can never go anywhere.
even optumus prime loves voltron
Super Gurren Lagann Tengen Toppa can solo verses of all above put together. Just make sure its pilots' names don't get written in the Death Note
Ryouma Nagare's name won't be in that death note with his Getter Emperor
that is a complete garbage compared with getter emperor / mazinger zero
ROXX he is bigger than the observable universe
Robinson Rodriguez and getter emperor destroys universes with normal attacks. Whats your point?
Death note can't kill simon
I could've taken this as "just our opinion", but the most basic of mistakes were made. Bad dates on Gundam clips, showing Mazinger Z and labeling it as Grendizer, citing that Veritechs are better than a specific Valkyrie (when they are the very same thing rebranded for different adaptations.), no mention of Golion during Voltron. I can't imagine how many other videos have bad information when the most base of Mecha knowledge is gotten wrong. Horrible man, just horrible. Retry. Do it again.
After this list I feel like WatchMojo has seen 4 episodes of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
The one you named Grenadier was Mazinger Z. Great video by the way. And I agree with your list. Voltron and Gundam are in my top as well.
Gurren laggan at number 4? You guys are high it's top 2 at best!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I am not first
neither are you
+♥iPlay♡ Firts to like and reply to your comment.
+Marco Witteman You're firts?
Profane Gunman yes
Marco Witteman firts though?
Profane Gunman yes, i am allways firts.
We need a mortal kombat game with These mechs, the Transformers, and any other giant robot/Mech suit. How awesome would it be to fight Optimus prime with Voltron?
Pwnedgamer94 Ever heard of super robot wars its not like mortal kombat but it brings multiple mecha franchises in it they haven't gotten the transformers license yet probably cause of how expensive it is, and also Voltron isn't popular at all really in japan
Pwnedgamer94 yesssssss I would want to see that so bad and the fatality he can go into god ginrai form and just destroy voltron
There is one on the dreamcast. Granted the mechs have different names but you know who they are
Mobile Suit Gundam is the grand papy of all mech animes
-Change my mind
gundam not #1....
gundam not #1
gundam NOT #1
gundam NOT #1 ?
GUNDAM NOT #1 ???!!!
Right!!!!!!
+GamingPenis Burning Gundam is that shit though
+GamingPenis
im also piss not seeing gundam in 1,
but seeing *Kurorugi Suzaku/shinji ikari* makes me more piss that I end-up pressing *DISLIKE*
+GamingPenis Yep.
Have ur opinion somewhere else
Yeah no.... Gundam should have been on the first place. Voltron is not worthy enough for take the first place over Gundam. I call a rematch! Gundam is WAY more iconic to any top 10 Mechs in Anime than voltron would ever be! If it cant do good in japan and the world. then it does not deserve the first place
Gundam and Eva is worth on the list but all of the remaining should never in the list.
-No Getter Robo
-No Super Robot Love Trilogy
-No Gaiking
-No Diebuster
-No Ideon
Most of the iconics mechs are not in this list. The one who made this list and claiming they spend months of research for this should be shot in the head.
Shining Trapezohedron Eva units arent mechs. Simple.
+Shining Trapezohedron macross series deserved in this list too
+Zurakci's Gaming Channel well they still appear in super robot wars series games
Rey1993 They are on the list.
How were the eva's only at number 3? The unit 1 litterally turned it's pilot into a god.
9:05 LOL. Goes to show you how much these guys know about what they're talking about.
honestly gundam deserved to be number one
I they didn't use the wing cancer footage it wouls be number 1.
But which gundam series? If i were to choose, I'll pick the 08th ms team
Charred Brisket don't like the comment, its at 78
Charred Brisket ye
Charred Brisket yes
Logic used in this video:
-Let's put 2 Macross mechas on this list, because they're basically the same but we like them.
-Let's summarize Gundam's, which each of them is really different from the others, in just the original one.
-Let's put EVA's in number 3, despite having the power of demi-gods that can cause an event on the Earth that basically kills everyone.
My thoughts exactly, especially the evas part.
+Adam Knight Basically, Robotech is not an original series. The company that brought it to USA grabbed 3 different animes (one of them being Macross, the one with the planes that transform into robots) and mixed them into one and called it Robotech. It's like I grabbed footage from Adventure Time, Steven Universe and Gravity Falls, mixed all of that into one thing, called it something like "Crazy Adventures" and showed it to you as if it was original.
+Matias Dos Santos Wich were the other 2 animes grabbed for Robotech? I don't remember them
+jazzbrawl64 Cavarly Southern Cross (which is related to Macross, but not sure if it shares the same universe) and Genesis Climber Mospeada, this having absolutely nothing to do with Macross.
Les not forget the Eva's are actually living things XD
If you ever make an updated version gusion rebake fullcity has to be the top pick. Why? He destroyed Iok Kujan and brought us one of the most satisfying scene in anime.
TrueTRG as greatful as I am for that moment theres still far more powerful and awesomer mecha
Voltron? Gundam should be #1
/w Zeta Gundam being #1~
Lmaoooo STTGL is the most powerful mecha in history of animes stgu
No Go Nagai mechs, no VOTOMS, no Ideon, bad mispronunciation, and no real research
-100/10
MegusXLR ( third)
+Keanu Phillip That's not anime.
And it's spelled Megas-XLR.
+Leo Jakšić it's still an awesome mech
Keanu Phillip Yeah, but sadly, it doesn't fit the criteria. Just like the Megazord.
Oddly, at our Gundam Wing site, Tallgeese is the most viewed mobile suit, then Wing Zero and Deathscythe.
jesus, cant pronounce escaflowne or kamina. but really how is gurren not #1 it becomes bigger than a galaxy!
The Super TTGL is over 6 Universes large.
I'm sorry, but a few points:
1) Gurren Lagann doesn't run on "friendship", it runs on the power of evolution and... confidence? Something like that.
2) Okay, it's widely accepted as, but it's really debatable whether EVAs are even mecha, considering how they are made.
3) #2 is a total cop out. If you have to include them, at least pick ONE :P
4) Your viewers are idiots putting it #1 above #2 :P Sorry, guys.
+Kato86 They don't always go in the order of the votes (in fact they generally don't). I checked the votes, and Voltron was 5th. Gundam was still 2nd though, Gurren Lagann took 1st.
Here's the votes in case you want to check it out yourself.
watchmojo.com/suggest/Top+Ten+Mechs+in+Anime
Parsa Rahimi Huh, that makes things even weirder... I would actually accept TTGL being one, despite being way less iconic because... well, final battle and all. My memories of Voltron are pretty limited but has it anything going for it despite being... undefeated? If even that?
o watchmojo, you do know that Macross and Robotech are one in the same. Also Macross being the granddaddy of all robots? Do your research, that's Gigantor and if you wanna stretch it, Astro boy. And also no Zoids? Really?
Macross and Robotech are two way different animes
I'm pretty sure they are the same, except Robotech adding a few other anime as well, it was a mix of Macross and a few other anime as well.
Toa Levi Robotech follows some of Macross plot but the two shows are much different.
+Randall Jolla ah I see, my bad
+Randall Jolla Still VF-1 design comes from SDF Macross, not Robotech which borrowed it along with the footage.
The STAGE is so big that it can throw galaxies.
How did Nirvash not make it onto this list? At least as an honorable mention
"cast in the name of god, YE NOT GUILTY! *punches grandpa*"
+Daniel King Dumplstiltskin, is that you?
Anthony Rice wow, thought it would take longer before someone got that reference
94unclechuck it's a reference to teamfourstar referencing big o....
Daniel King I am a huge TFS nerd, I mean I watch all their streams and- DRIIIIIIIIIIINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 Patlabor - It's a fun comedy.
9 VF-25 - Agreed best suit in Macross
8 Veritech - All I see as a VF-1 Valkyrie, what is this Veritech, and the VF-25 is better anyway, It's appearance in Zero is also improved its design and showed off it's skilled.
7 Escaflowne - It's cool
6 Big O - Love it.
5 Knightmare - They are too small.
4 Gurren Laggan - All reason's you gave, also fit with Getter Robo.
3 Eva - The Unit themselves are alive, therefore doesn't count for this list, but ok then. They have there cable, with does stop there mobility.
2 Mobile Suit's - Just Mobile Suit's, ok... That's quite a number considering Build Fighters also count in there, in may as well said Gundam.
1 Voltron - Oh, it's GoLion.
Really that's it, not many Super's and you forgot like everything. such as the Liger Zero, Megas XLZ, Demonbane, Gunbuster, Arm Slave's.
+John Balkin Knightmares can vary in size, as there are a lot of Knightmare frames above 80 feet and ones as large as a full office building.
akcubed3 Could you name one? 80 feet is like 3x taller than a average Knightmare.
John Balkin the Siegfried. And I was exaggerating about 80 feet lol
Isn't the Siegfried a Knight Giga Fortress and not a Knightmare?
John Balkin
no it's considered a knightmare as you can physically pilot it to attack and defend
I would have put Gundam and Gurren Lagann over Voltron, but I can live with this since Voltron was my first mech anime.
These should be the last 4, in no particular order: Gundams, Buster Machines, Evas, Gurren Lagann
Where is Mazinkaiser, Shin getter, and Gaogaigar?
Voltron over Gundam!? lame...
yeah.... you right
1986. That was the year Voltron came to my country and I will tell you this: It blew us all away.......
Yep. But also the year Voltron came to an end with the special crossover episode The Fleet Of Doom.
How the hell is gundam not number 1???
Show me a gundam that can survive a moons density that rivals a black hole, a fleet bombardment and some crazy ass ripper bot in the same episode. Let that gundam reach the end of space and then it can take the #1 spot. I'll even make a pretty hat for it!
@@DaveMojicathe devil Gundam
I agree
@@DaveMojica consider barbatos lupus rex
Dave Mojica the turn a Gundam has a mode that turns all technology into dust
I always loved the realism of Evangelion. All other mecha series just throw you a robot that moves with "magic" or "friendship" (to quote WatchMojo).
NGE showed you the umbilical cords, the lauch pads, the armors, the training facilities, the software used in NERV. Even when Shinji is using his positron rifle, they show you how they will power it.
And that opening theme used to give me chills.
So basically every real robots anime?
As cool as Voltron may have been for its time, I think the Nearvosh from Eureka Seven deserves a spot on this list: using a giant surf board to fly, transforming into a car for quick ground transport, later transforming into it's own jet for a quick air-borne get-away, requiring the power of bonds formed from friendship and love to unleash its ultimate, and consequently deadly attack.
Eureka Seven is all around a good series, possibly even a great one, with a good message at its heart, and not merely something used to sell toys the way other robot shows have done. And, NO, I'm not specifically saying that any particular show mentioned on this list has been made to serve that purpose.
I also am a fan of Zoids, and of Zoids: Chaotic Century.
I mean there are others like Voltron.. like votes v.. or dancouga
"grendizer"?! its mazinger z!!
Yay at least they show up Maziger Z as grandizer I love Maziger z
As Grendizer yes... which is wrong.
Everyone's a gangsta until shinji's mom wakes up
Gurren Lagann better be in this or I'm disliking xD
Yeah it's on but god dam watchmojo can't say a name right for the life of them
jake brassington I know bro... I cringe every time they pronounce "Gurren Lagann" and "Kamina" lmao
+Memory OG I'm pretty sure he just said "Kamino". What the actual fuck.
gurren lagan sucks...mobile suit z gundam and daigunder for life!!
+Memory OG insufficient impossible done, not enough invisible seen, too few untouchables touched and not nearly enough unbreakables broken.
For me it's
1. Zaku II
2. Shin Getter Robo
3. Mazinger Z
4. Gundams
5. Valkyries (Macross)
6. LFOs
7. Labors
8. Scopedogs
9. Steel Jeeg
10. New Getter Robo
Should had added that fact that Robotech is SDF Macross which is connected to Macross Frontier.
anyone else notice that while all Gundam suits were lumped together, the VF-25 Messiah and VF-1 Valkyrie were conveniently separated? Robotech is the American dub of Macross.
Also the honorable mention of Grendizer... yeah that was Mazinger Z, the literally grand daddy of all piloted mecha.
Gurren Lagann should've been in number 1
+Elijha Bishop Just who they hell do they think we are?
I think Gurren Lagann should have been 1st,its final form is bigger than than the visible UNIVERSE
I know right this so stupid
Yea but it still can't beat Getter Emperor which could eliminate all living things in one blast of it's Getter Beam.
.... it... can shoot through time... and dude... gurren lagann is practically a godly mech
+Christian Barnes ever heard of dodging?
+jpn 101 the size of the blast is relatively big so without doubt it still would get hit
So...let me get this straight. VF-25 from Macross gets 9th place, but then the VF-1 from the western version of the original Macross gets a higher spot?
But voltron is an American show that used Japanese animation
Roll Brand Actually, it aired in Japan in 1981 as "Beast King Golion" But was brought to the U.S. in 1984 and is now more popularly known as "Voltron: Defender of the Universe"
Cr33p3rKid yes but America took the rights for this series in that year too so it really doesn't count
shut up its voltron and it is awesome so it counts
Shannon Gregory except it doesn't voltron is a heavily edited anime the original anime was vastly different from voltron it was formwrly known as go beast king lion, and also voltron isn't even a great mecha theres far better mecha in general like shin getter robo, shin mazinger z, and etc
hey it wouldnt have gotten past the censors in it raw form ya know
Why Voltron No.1,Gundam No.2?
Becasue they don't want to admit their ignorance in Top 10 Giant Robots.
Where is the Nirvash from Eureka Seven?
Anyone still remember a robot cartoon that 3 different jets can become 3 different robot??
Gurren lag-anne? kamino? the fuck?
What are you getting at?
WATCH MOYO IS SHIT
Gurren lagann is actually an amazing show. Don't get butthurt because your favorite anime wasn't on here.
I´m actually saying that because he the "watch moyo guy" said kamina´s name wrong.
Gurren Lagann is my favourite anime
Oh, ok. Sorry about that.
american's didnt know DAIMOS and VOLTES5!
Bern De leon and gaogaigar, shin mazinger, mazinkaiser, shin getter robo....
Robotech? really? thats a rip-off of the macross series. and why voltron is number one anyway?
ikr this list is as bullsh#t as an actual bull's crap.
Yeah! Why would they include the US adaptations of shows? Voltron is considered an cartoon not an anime same goes for robotech a lot of the footage is from animes but they were nothing like the actual animes also go beast king lion shouldn't be number 1
Because USA doesn't let go of smth even if there are better stuff.
@@dol_mel7487 More to the point, why would they not properly explain where the mecha originally came from? Critical research failures abound in this video, and it's clear they only did the "we rate the individual mecha, not the show" as a flimsy excuse to put the same mecha line in twice (Macross & Robotoech)
Seems the list followed US adaptation. Ending in the first release of Voltron lion force is different from the original Go-lion (more brood and violent overall). IMO gundams/mobile suits deserve the top spot better than voltron.
the most versatile i know would be the MS-06 Zaku II, it even went into massproduction
80% of the comments would be Gundam Fans
10% would be Evangelion
7% would be Macross
3% would be others
GUNDAM IS SUPREME
So that's why you didn't mention the Gurren in Code Geass...because Gurren Lagann was next. lol
"Ten mechs from people who don't know shit about mechs"
Correction. Honorable Mention Grendizer is actually called Mazinger. The first being chronologically linked and preceding the second in the timeline. Those two count for one hell of a series and are the ACTUAL GRAND DADDYS of Mecha series. Also check for Mazinkaizer.
Valkries and Veritech are the same, the only difference is that Robotech is a mash up of stories. Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeda Geo Climber.
*Sigh* No KG-series from Aldnoah Zero or the Arm Slaves from Full Petal Panic.
I agree and knights of sidonia could have had an hm, or Tenchi war on genmar.
What about the mechs powered by Aldnoah??
tyano jason the kataphrakt
hi paul
Nope, it can't win against any mech because......the mech's obvious weakness
I'm glad they acknowledged that Gurren makes absolutely no sense but it's still such a good anime.
I think Mojo purposefully puts the real number one down the list or not on it just to get people arguing.
There you go mispronouncing names that the show clearly say a million times.
Gurren Lagann ist the best looking in my opinion ;)
Gurren lagann does got an good looking design but best? Not entirely true cause the series gurren lagann was influence by aka shin getter Robo armmeggadon had some great designs
its just my opinion dude, you are free to like what you want, i havent even seen every of the series, you could be right ;)
+SystemOfFantasy same I am with you I mean COME ON GURREN HAD A MECH THAT IS WAY BIGGER THEN GALAXY'S not to mention THEY CAN THROW GALAXY'S
+Felix Gutierrez demonbane is bigger than multiverse he could literally step on super tenga toppa gurren lagann and not care
+Jetfire48 man The Super Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann is 52.8 Billion light years tall
For number 9, the VF-25F is the unit piloted specifically by the protagonist Alto Saotome, as does not possess a customized sniper rifle in its standard loadout. The unit with the sniper rifle is the VF-25G.
I cant believe evas were above Gurren Lagann, but also not even an honourable mention for appleseeds landmates or full metal panics Arbalest? Also no mention of Zoids? you could probably do a whole top 10 just on zoids.
xandahar your forgetting a lot more awesome mecha.... mazinkaiser, cybuster, shin getter robo, and so MANY more
Well of course, but I could fill the character limit and still not have said enough, So I gave up while I was ahead.
Anyone else mad that Gurren Lagann wasn't number 1? Like he gets big enough to throw galaxies and strong enough to take an attack equal in power to the birth of the universe. It should've been Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
you realize theres an mecha called demonbane bigger than the multiverse,
dude that would be a perfect battle demonbane vs. super tengen toppa gurren lagann (sttgl) but I never seen demonbane wheres he from
every mecha will bow down to me
I don't think any of you know how big Super Tengan Toppa Gurren Laggan is. He himself is as big as the universe, but his final attack is literally more than 100x bigger than the universe. and with spiral power it could grow infinitely.
+Jetfire48 man do some research on STTGL you'll be Suprised how powerful he is
