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. |

You can choose other things from Transformers and be close. The Gestalts, for example, are almost Super Robots. And the ones from Go-Bots. Someone help me with the name: But the power-suits they wore to combine into one massive robot. Just like Robotech. Veritechs aren't Super Robots. They're big robots, but they're common military equitment. Like VOTOMs or Mobile Suits. But on another question: Do the Robots from Super Robots Wars count? Like the SRX-000 for example. |

Optimus is not a Super Robot. Like Gatchaman, and Tekkaman, aren't Toku because they're animated. Optimus isn't a Super Robot because he isn't summoned, no one pilots him, he isn't mystical, and though he combines with something to become Super.. he doesn't meet enough of the other criteria to count.

And transformer are not there. If were are done here, I would like to bring an obsure robot from the 70 names Daiorja. I don't know what it is but I really like the design

to answer yes they do count, and if Mr. sentai's well done awnser here dose not convince you here is a list of every super robot anime http://web.archive.org/web/200710241...es/rimages.htm
And transformer are not there. If were are done here, I would like to bring an obsure robot from the 70 names Daiorja. I don't know what it is but I really like the design Optimus is a primary character in most of these series's. Therefore, he's a "Super Robot." |
