"Classic Super Robots"
With FREEing's GetterRobo coming out after two months of delays i thought i'll start the topic for Classic super robots.
My person Favorites are Getter Robo, Votes V Voltron, God Mars, and Daltanious. |
I've never seen GetterRobo, I do love the Mech-Designs I've seen through the Revoltech line. And Vangelus' reveiws of them. But definately Voltron. The Lions, not the Vehicles. The Vehicles weren't horrible it was just a jumbled mess of parts. (Don't like it for the same reason I don't like G12 Explosion, or the one from Shinkenger.) God Mars, Raideen, Big Robo. And the original RX-78-2 Gundam. And last, but NOT least, GaoGaiGar. Or anything from the Brave Series, really.

I haven't seen much of the actual old shows, but I love the designs of most of them. Getter would have to be my favorite. So much so that I've already seen the Shin vs. Neo OVA and tracked down and read the original Manga. Pretty good stuff.
The Dynamic Change Getter certainly has my interest, but it's way outside my comfort zone in terms of price. Even if I had 90-odd bucks, I'd really rather spend it on something a little more substantial. As fart as toys I have, I've got Revoltechs of the standard Getter 1 (OVA version) and Neo Getter 1, as well as Dancouga and Tetsujin 28. Neo Getter is probably the best overall package toy-wise, but Tetsujin is almost on the same level is a design I like a lot more. Dancouga was actually a disappointment to me, just because he doesn't seem as solid as the other three. And depending on how old we're saying constitutes "classic" I have seen all of GaoGaiGar, and love it to pieces. Definitely want some toys of those guys. Oh, and as far as shows I'd like to watch go, Voltes V is probably tops on the list of old-school shows. The problem being that I can't find it anywhere reliable. I found a dubbed version, but the dub sounds pretty awful, so I think I'd rather get the original Japanese. |
Optimus Prime. 'Nuff said.

My favorite classic Super Robots are pretty much what I have in the SoC display

Super Robot (スーパーロボット, Sūpā Robotto?) is a term used in manga and anime to describe a giant robot or mecha, with an arsenal of fantastic super-powered weapons, extreme resistance to damage unless the plot calls for it, sometimes transformable or combined from two or more robots and/or vehicles usually piloted by young, daring heroes, and often shrouded by mystical or legendary origins. This is distinct from a Real Robot, which is a mecha portrayed as a relatively common item, used by military organizations in the same manner as tanks or aircraft.
Definition according to Wikipedia. So I also take back Gundam, unless The White Devil would be an exception. Zaku is a common miltary tool, but in the original series there was only one Gundam. If not that's cool. |

If that doesn't work, Optimus Prime: Super Mode. |

For me it's definately Genesic. I just love the raw, almost animalistic, look of the brute. |
