They... WHO? You ask.
The GIANT ROBOTS! Yep, in July I will have finally a Giant Robot Week :)
I had planning to do one for such a long time, so I am very happy to finally do it this month :)
It's not gonna be next week (gotta some work to do) but def it will happen in July.
I am also taking 1 suggestion (already have a few robots lined up) so feel free to throw in your favorite robot suggestion by replying to this post: you guys have a week from now. The winner (the one I will decide to include in the gallery) will receive a signed archival print of the chosen robot.
Rule #1: if you see already entered the robot you liked, then pick another one that has not been entered yet. There can be only one winner so if there are multiple entries of the same robot, I will only consider the first one who entered it.
Rule #2: this is GIANT ROBOTS week, so try to suggest giant robots (mostly from Japanese anime) instead of small robots (like C3PO, for example).
EDIT!!!
Rule #3: please enter only 1 suggestion/name. For multiple names in the same post, I will only consider the first one.
Rule #4: check the above chart to make sure your entry has not been named yet. Also: small robots will be in red and mostly likely not considered for the grand prize.
PRIZES! Since there are so many great suggestions, I am thinking to add a couple of extra prizes for runner-ups, randomly picked among all entries: the prize is a large archival print of the group shot of all entries (like the one above, insilhuetts, but compelted with allt he robots suggested during the week) :)
Same print will go to the winner as well, in addition to the single robot one.
Of course, please spread the news: the more the better :)
Alright, everyone is ready? GO! :)
Cheers,
Francesco

I'd love to see Venus A from Great Mazinger, always liked it, and her palette would fit your style I think.

It's not a Japanese robot, but how can you not at least consider the Iron Giant?
Love all the work. Thanks so much for sharing.

Francesco,
Great idea. I'll nominate Zoidzilla - was such a fan of the comic series in the Marvel UK days, and, hey, it's a giant mecha godzilla!
http://www.hooversandsledgehammers.com/images/a_Zoidzilla.JPG
Paradigm City's protector: Za Biggu O (The Big O).
Not the best name, but an awesome sci-fi noir character. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_O)
Such a great mystery series.
Great idea Francesco!
If it's Giant Robot week we definitely need Giant Robo!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Robo_(tokusatsu)
Or as I knew it in my youth: Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot!
http://narrativagrafica.mforos.com/1651934/8485594-johnny-sokko-and-his-flying-robot-giant-robo-1967/
This sounds like it's going to be a fun week!
I don't know the names you have for them, but my favorite Super robots always were "El Vengador" (Steel jeeg, or kotetsushin Jeeg) and "Supermagnetron" (Magne Robo Gakin). "Iron 28" is also a favorite of mine, and he deserves a spot being one of the founders of the genre ("Tetsujin 28-go", also known as "Gigantor")
TETSUJIN 28! (Gigantor to the Americans) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantor
I vote for an old Ultraman toy I had as a child-- the giant gold robot, "King Joe"!
http://jbwid.com/img_07/090707b.jpg
Jet Jaguar
http://www.henshinonline.com/images/jgmf2005_10.jpg
or
Mecha-Kong
Dang! I was just about to suggest Jet Jaguar!
Well, I had another good choice already in mind: The K1 Robot from Doctor Who. This appreared in the 4th Doctor's first story, ROBOT.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_(Doctor_Who)
It's not giant but the robot from Metropolis would be freakin' AWESOME!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(film)
Waht about a classic Soundwave?
Francesco,
Thinking outside the box here but how awesome would it be to do MechaGodzilla?! He's got my vote. Thanks!
Please make the megazord from Power Rangers.
I could swear the wallpaper wasn't there yesterday... anyway, since two of my choices are already there.
I was a huge fan of Robotech (still am), so a Valkirie/Veritech is a must (if possible, that one episode when Rick Hunter uses a prototype full of misiles), or a cyclone if possible, because while they weren't Giant robots, they were absolutely great. There was a short lived show called Daltanias (Future Robo Daltanius), that was awesome story-wise, but the design wasn't all that good. And finally I also liked the the robot from Saber Rider (Star Musketeer Bismarck), I believe that what I liked the most was the theme song, but anyway, the robot (Ramrod) was great... I mean, how many Giant space cowboy robots are there?
Esteban,
I did the chart with all the robots entered so far, and yours is int here too (JEEG) :)
The chart is for everyone else who check this today: I am planning to update the chart every day with all the new entries also becuase the final chart will be made as a print.
Wonderign if I should also add the names of the person who entered each one... mhh..
Keep em coming, guys, and read the rules :)
Cheers,
Francesco
Either the Zeta Gundam from..well...Gundam Zeta, or the Sazabi from Char's Counterattack (also a Gundam movie).
See?, I wasn't crazy :D
but I ommited one of the rules, dang!
Well Steel Jeeg is there so I'm happy. I doubt you have the time but here is the intro in spanish for that show... and a team-up between many of Go nagai's Robots against their common enemies.
I hope you like them.
A Berserker Evangelion Unit 01
That epitomizes "Giant Robo" to me.
Production unit from neon genesis evangelion
My votes are for Gaiking and the modern version of Mechagodzilla (the one from the Millennium series).
Voltron: http://www.shirtlog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Voltron345.jpg
Mecha Bowser: http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m47/timidshadow/MechaBowser.jpg
The final robot version of my all time favorite anime. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

How about Megamaid from the movie Spaceballs? That would be full of win!
This is SO cool.
How about the Cyber-King from Doctor Who?
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/CyberKing
Oh, man, you have to do Death's Head, yes? He was in Gillen and Stevens' S.W.O.R.D. from Marvel, recently, but he dates back years into the UK imprint of Marvel.
I would love to see your interpretation of him, please!
Learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death%27s_Head
He's a robotic bounty hunter, but he calls himself a "freelance peace-keeping agent". Be perfect for you, and a diverse choice apart from the other robots you already have.
These'll test your tolerance of 2000AD - Dave Gibbons' Charlie from Ro-Busters or Mick McMahon's Mad George from A.B.C. Warriors.
When you think about it, Pat Mills must have had a soft spot for giant robots: both of those stories are the emotional core of their respective strips.
Just posted a Dave Gibbons' Charlie and a Mick McMahon Mad George at my blog for everyone's perusal.
MechaStreisand from South Park.
http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/150170
go with Gaiking my son!!!
How about Mecha-Streisand?
We can't forget about the Sentinels from the X-Men:
http://marvel.com/universe/Sentinels
This week is going to be so full of win!
Hey, I think you should draw Servo from Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad. I don't know if you've ever heard of him so here's a link
http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/item/119/788/619/Rz9rbzdan9bt6ML.jpg
Unicron. please?
I know you already have soundwave on there but I hope you would consider Unicron. He's pretty much the biggest, baddest robot of all time. I mean he eats planets. Come on, he'd give galactus a run for his money.
What about Voltus V?
What's the name of the robot in the beastie boy's intergalactic video.
I choo-choo choose that robot
How about Getta Robot?
How about VOLTES V?
The original Mazinger Z would be beautiful!!!
Xenogears from, well, Xenogears!
I know you'll feel sad if UFO Robot Grendizer (aka Goldrake for the Italian kids of the 70s) is not in the list.
I know i'd be a pain to draw, but the SDF-1, transformed into its Battle mode from Robotech would be sweet!.
Can I add multiple entries in multiple posts?
Mr. Atom, from the Shazam books.
Pretty sure it's not on the chart and I'd love to see your take on Mazinger Z!
http://www.toysnjoys.com/wallscrolls/ya-008.jpg
I vote for Mecha King Ghidorah
http://cdn2.ioffer.com/img/item/324/822/86/printmechakingghid.JPG
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_93Y09YDcf0k/S4fwJgmYkHI/AAAAAAAAAl8/ODqweo-fHp8/s320/Mecha+King+Ghidorah+movie+appearance.jpg
Miller & Darrow's Big Guy (with or without sidekick Rusty)
Alright, i'm home and i'm ready to make my suggestion, Francesco!
The Superman/Batman robot from the Loeb/McGuiness run of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies!
http://comicrelated.com/graphics/solicits/dc/jan10/3Superman/Worlds%20finest%204A.jpg
WHOO!!
I see a predominance of humanoid looking robots so, What about Yattawan, the giant dog robot from Yatterman?
There's the animated version and also the one from Takashi Miike's film adaptation...
How about ED-209?
If he's not big enough for you, then there's always Gort.
Does Data from Star Trek TNG count? He's not big in size, but he sure is in awesomeness. :)
Angel 05 from Evangelion
I know he is not a giant Robot, but you have to make a WALL-E.
Maybe a WALL-E at Lilliput, or in an Earth populated by cockroaches.
You can always add the Getter Robo from Shin Getter Robo: Armageddon. It is the shiznit!
Alright guys, we are at 45, thanks also to some of my childhood faves I just added like Gordian (the matrioska robot! :)), Daltanius, the Great Mazinger, and Daitarn 3.
HA! The memories... :D
As stated in the rules, each person can only enter one suggestion (;) @ Esteban), so I am hoping to see a few "new" faces coming in and suggest new robots that aren't listed yet. It would be cool if I had at least 50 entries to chose from :)
Deadline for entering is tomorrow. Bring it on! :)
CHeers,
Francesco
Umm, sorry, I got carried away. But there are so many great Giant robots that nobody else was mentioning.
You've got to draw Ramrod (Saber Rider), even if it's a non elegible entry :)
See? carried away, again.
So, I've thought and thought about this since you first posted the contest. And at this point, I am just going to have to go with my favourite Gundam, the upgraded Altron Gundam from Gundam Wing.
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/XXXG-01S2_Altron_Gundam
It cant be a giant robot contest without Voltron!
http://lgo.mit.edu/blog/drewhill/files/voltron.jpg
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Liberty_Prime
This list definitely needs Liberty Prime from Fallout 3.
It would be wonderful if you did the robots from the old Fleischer Superman Cartoon. Those are classic.
