    Giant Robots QOTD
    Question Of The Day

    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Giant Robots Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy Matthew PetersonDecember 23, 20193 Comments1 Min Read

    The tradition of giant robots and/or transforming mecha is a long and grand one, with dozens of noteworthy examples: You got your Gundam, your Shogun Warriors, even your The Transformers, depending on how you broadly you define the term, but they really break down into two separate camps: The living robots who do what they want, and the Megazord-y types, piloted by a human or team of humans.  Shows like ‘Teen Titans Go’ and the Teen Titans/Beavis & Butthead crossover on ‘Robot Chicken’ proved that the team-piloting concept can be pretty ridiculous, but then again, there are an awful lot of killer robot stories out there, leading to today’s Leopardonian query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wonders if the breaking point is somewhere around 1984 or so, asking: Do you prefer your Giant Robots with or without a human pilot?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      As cool as I think mechs are, I feel like the idea of it being its own entity is really cool.

      I’m a piloted robot guy all the way. Battletech, Gundam, Macross/Robotech & Voltron were some of my favorite things growing up.

      I do like Transformers and idea of sentient mechanical races, but too big of a mecha fan, so with pilot it is! And with pilots, you get at least two characters for a price of one.
