    @North Star: You are aware that Optimus (ne Convoy) was never a western creation to begin with? If we wish to compete with Japan's budding army of giant robots, we shall have to further develop our Robbies and AT-ATs.

    @jeremymtc: Only the design, not the soul. Before Marvel (yes, Marvel), there was no Optimus Prime. Transformers as we know it, is an American invention.

    I voted Megatron. Now I'm going to rot in hell because I don't accept Optimus Prime as my personal God and Savior.

    If you were counting things piloted by people as robots, I'd have to say that the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann would be the most powerful. The size of a galaxy and seemingly limitless power.


    Mantrid drones, which I will count as a singular entity for the purpose of this list, did succeed in transforming all of the matter in the universe into itself.

    @geesejuggler: At least Gundams sort of have consciousness, at least in some versions. But aren't most Gundams basically human-sized?
