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.
Optimus Prime is definetly one of those "Super Robots."

If that doesn't work, Optimus Prime: Super Mode.
Optimus doesn't count, whatever the mode or series.

But Optimus follows the criteria you so nicely set for "Super Robots."

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.

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 has a large arsenal of weapons. In most versions, he is summoned by the Matrix Of Leadership, a mystical artifact from Cybertron's past, and evolves from Optronix/Orion Pax/Optimus into Optimus Prime through the power of the Matrix. Furthermore, he is extremely resistant to damage, and is sometimes piloted by Hi-Q.

None of which makes him a super robot, please move on.

Yes, true, but the Japanese title of Transformers usually starts off with "Fight! Super Robot Life Form Transformer..."

Optimus is a primary character in most of these series's. Therefore, he's a "Super Robot."
