Shop Robot Fighting Time battlebots mugs designed by braintaffy as well as other battlebots merchandise at TeePublic. It's Robot Fighting Time. 29 November 2019. Swing for all you're worth, Strike with hurricane fury Learn to take the same. Back in April-ish of this year, I had the good fortune of being invited to help out with Team Sawblaze (many thanks to Jamison, Lucy, and John!) for season 4 of Battlebots. This was a pretty big deal for me, since I still.

Miles 'Tails' Prower - Bite ForceTails is a big fan of Bite Force, the two-time winner of the revival Battlebots seasons! Although the bot and its builder, Paul Ventimiglia, may seem unassuming- Bite Force is a durable, reliable, bar-spinner robot. Tails trusts in Paul and Bite Force's track record, and believes they're going to take home yet another trophy this season.Sonic the Hedgehog - Witch Doctor / SawBlazeSonic's long been a fan of style and robot destruction.

Because of this, outstanding newcomer of last season- SawBlaze- has caught his eye. With a diamond-tipped saw, durable wedge armor, and a green flamethrower - SawBlaze can destroy robots in the coolest-looking ways! Sonic can also relate to the competitiveness and passion of SawBlaze's builder, Jamison Go.The unique design and attention to aesthetic detail on Witch Doctor have also appealed to Sonic (not to mention the incredible detail put on the outfits of the Witch Doctor team), but after a disappointing showing the last two seasons and already one loss this season, Sonic's not feeling too reliant on them for a win.(Note: I didn't consider Minotaur for Sonic until I was writing this, and now I realize it probably would have been a better fit than what I chose. For those who don't know, Minotaur is an aggressive robot- it has one of the fastest spinning weapons in the competition and is also super quick and agile when moving.)Dusty Crophopper - DUCK! / WhiplashAlthough his introduction to BattleBots was a little shaky, Dusty has since grown to enjoy and appreciate the sport. Perhaps fittingly, he grew to support two newcomers to Battlebots while watching last season: DUCK!

And Whiplash.DUCK! Is known for its super unusual method of attack- to literally ram itself into its competitors until they give out. Although this strategy may seem stupid, DUCK! Has proven time and time again that it is strong enough to accomplish this. Dusty appreciates and relates to this bot's unconventionality in the competition, and was disappointed after its debut competitive run was cut short by a controversial judges' decision. He's hoping DUCK! Goes all the way this season, and finally goes beak to blade with the legendary Tombstone.Whiplash was a rookie to Battlebots last season, built and driven by the Vasquez family.

An unassuming bot, it surprised many with its unique weapon- a spinning vertical disc attached to a lifting wedge arm. Whiplash made it all the way into the semi-finals last season, before it lost to eventual winner Bite Force. Dusty was inspired by the Vasquez family's journey from BattleBots fans to serious BattleBots competitors, and is excited to see them return this season.Katherine von Brotz - TombstoneTo any current Battlebots fans, the name Tombstone says enough- no introduction for this bot is needed. For those who aren't familiar with Battlebots, however, Tombstone has consistently been one of the most aggressive and destructive robots in the current Battlebots competition scene.

At the time of writing, Tombstone has a record of 17 - 2 over this and the past two seasons, 15 of which were won by K.O. (losers completely lost drive mobility). The bot strikes fear into the hearts of competitors, commentators and fans alike, and its builder- Ray Billings- loves being number one.Katherine loves winning and doing it convincingly. Enough said.myself (this persona character is called 'C.W.' ) - BroncoI was a fan of the Denver Broncos in the time of Peyton Manning, I love horses, and Bronco (the robot) is the only one in the competition who has literally thrown their competitors so high- they took out a ceiling light.

All these reasons are why I'm a big supporter of Bronco, which has remained one of the more dominant robots throughout the past three seasons (plus, its builders are seasoned veterans who were competing during the run of the original Battlebots show). This season, Bronco has some competition in the form of a similar, rookie robot called Hydra, but I'm hoping the veteran comes out the superior of the two.Sonic and Tails © SEGADusty Crophopper © DisneyKatherine and art ©Battlebots and all the robots mentioned belong to their respective creators.

Where have all the mech games gone? Armored Core remains as perhaps the last long standing legacy series still seeing release outside of Japan. But even its popularity has been waning as of late. No worries, because mecha anime is still as popular as ever and we constantly see new, exciting additions to the ever-growing genre.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

MAL Rated 8.81, Ranked #25Aired Spring 2007Produced by Gainax

A future where people are forced to live in subterranean villages is not a pretty one. Fortunately, this provides the impetus for a couple of teenage boys to escape this kind of existence. Their quest to reach the surface results in a madcap and hyperkinetic adventure. Fans of FLCL will be in for a treat with this unique mecha extravaganza, boasting some dazzling action scenes.

Shinseiki Evangelion (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

MAL Rated 8.32, Ranked #199Aired Fall 1995Produced by Gainax

Anime TV series seldom borrow much of their lore from religious sources. Neon Genesis Evangelion is drenched in ancient Gnostic symbolism and philosophy. The fusion of esoteric themes, postmodernism, angst-ridden teens and giant robots are integral to one of the best mecha animes of the 90's. It would get a higher spot in this top 10 list, if the ending was not so convoluted.

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion)

MAL Rated 8.86, Ranked #18Aired Fall 2006Produced by Sunrise

This is a breathtaking mecha anime series about a teenage genius who happens to be the son of an emperor, albeit having renounced his heir to the throne. The reason for this is because his mother was shot dead and his father did nothing about the matter.

Lelouch has naturally developed a deep distrust and hatred for authority figures. Eventually, leading him to become a counter revolutionary hellbent on taking on, the empire with the power of his Geass and the Shinkiroo which he pilots. A string of destructive events unfold in this dense yet epic series.

Aldnoah.Zero

​MAL Rated 7.72, Ranked #984​ ​Aired Summer 2014​ Produced by A-1 Pictures and TROYCA​

Aldnoah.Zero is one of the most unique mecha anime ever created. The story revolves around an intergalactical war between Earth and Mars, which sounds normal enough, but the abundance of complex ideas and out-of-this-world battle tactics make it stand out from the rest of the bunch.

While most mecha anime focus on a set of skilled fighters piloting well-equipped, ridiculously powerful robots, the main protagonists of this series (the Earth forces) are far less experienced and are forced to make due with low-level training robots. In this battle of epic proportions, the little guys must use their robots and their brains if they are to save the world.

Eureka Seven

​MAL Rated 8.21, Ranked #285​ ​Aired Spring 2005​ ​Produced by Bones​

The unique world of Eureka Seven is made up of special LFO robots, waves in the sky, and tons of colorful creatures called Coralians who are constantly terrorizing the poor human race. Nothing special there. What earns this series its spot on this list is its breathtaking art and music, which makes every single scene unforgettable.

Full Metal Panic!

​MAL Rated 7.83, Ranked #777​ ​Aired Winter 2002​ ​Produced by Gonzo​

With a storyline soaked in romance, comic relief, and a ton of action, it is hard to categorize Full Metal Panic! in one single genre. But with its fair share of threats to humanity by robotic forces, Full Metal Panic! has most definitely earned its place in this list of mecha anime.

Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor 2 The Movie (Mobile Police Patlabor 2: The Movie)

MAL Rated 7.80, Ranked #822Aired Summer 1993Produced by Production I.G

All three Patlabor anime films are awesome, but the second one is definitely the best. As expected by a director of Mamoru Oshii's caliber, attention to detail, high production values and a sophisticated plot are part of the package. Patlabor 2 is filled with political intrigue while the mecha action is somewhat restrained. Nevertheless, those few action sequences are masterfully crafted.

Macross Plus

MAL Rated 7.86, Ranked #730Aired Summer 1994 Produced by Studio Nue

The Macross franchise is massive, and it's tough picking a favorite series. Macross Plus is the most accessible and enjoyable. This 4-episode OVA was co-directed by Shoji Kawamori and Shinchiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame.

In the library I believe, and neither was hidden, just out in the open on a book stand.Using them to boost Excalibur and the Scientist coat is probably the best use for both. Alternately, if you're using scrolls and are only able to boost a limited number of items, you can forego boosting the Coat as it's only a +1% boost, and instead boost something like Bonebreaker or Slicering that hits multiple enemies at once. Don't forget that you can use Improve Armor and Weapon spells or scrolls, which boosts the xp gain even higher for the Scientist Coat and Excalibur.My Excalibur grants 32% xp gain, and an improved Scientist Coat is plus +6%, so that's a total of +38% xp gain using both.I used the improve armor/weapon spells at lvl 15 to boost both, and you should come across at least one of each scroll a bit before that. Unepic multiplayer reset skills.

Much of the story is focused on the three main characters, where an uncomfortable love-triangle and rivalry has developed. And in typical Macross fashion, the pop music idol plays a role just as important as the giant robots.

Top wo Nerae! (Gunbuster)

MAL Rated 8.00, Ranked #516Aired Fall 1988Produced by Gainax

Gainax is best known for their Neon Genesis Evangelion series. But it's their Gunbuster 6-episode OVA that truly showcased their talent for the mecha genre. Furthermore, Gunbuster is easier to follow than Evangelion with its more cohesive storyline. High concepts such as Schwarzschild radius and space travel are covered with a considerable amount of detail.

Kidou Senshi Gundam: Dai 08 MS Shoutai (Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team)

MAL Rated 8.15, Ranked #355Aired Winter 1996Produced by Sunrise

Unlike other series within the Gundam universe, The 08th MS Team is unique because much of the story unfolds on earth. The age old battle between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon is taken to a whole new level.

Drama, intrigue, romantic entanglements and battle skirmishes intensify with each episode of this 12-part OVA classic. Viewers are treated to one of the best endings in any mecha anime, definitely the cream of the crop.

Tenkai Knights

MAL Rated 7.02, Ranked #3185Aired Spring 2014Produced by Bones

While this kid's show may not seem that amazing, Tenkai Knights is really cool because it's a Canadian and Japanese co-production. This mecha anime is based on a toy line by 'Spinmaster' known as 'Ionix construction bricks'. While this show is aimed primarily at young boys, it can be enjoyed by all ages and genders. The battles between good and evil factions are perfectly conveyed. Bravenwolf's various transformations are also very satisfying to watch.

Teo still leads the Night Crow and also is cooperating with the Seven Knights. Teo is undeniably one of the most liked and popular characters in the game, this could be due to having big roles throughout all seasons. Teo represents a Crow. Teo won a hero awakening poll in the global version. His awakening came out for the third anniversary. Teo quickly regretted his outrageous acts fearing Ace would be corrupted by his father he returned to the Aisha continent. Sometime later, Ace became lord of the island, following in his father's footsteps. Teo was asked to teach Ace his sword skills, He accepted. Teo was a strict & demanding Teacher. He became frustrated with Ace's lack of.

Giant Robo the Animation: Chikyuu ga Seishi Suru Hi (Giant Robo the Animation: The Day the Earth Stood Still)

MAL Rated 8.03, Ranked #480Aired Summer 1992Produced by Bandai Visual

Humanity is embarking on a new age due to the invention of a renewable energy source. Known as the Shizuma Drive, this new energy source is also sought after by an evil group called 'Big Fire'. It's up to Daisaku Kusama, his giant robot and the the rest of his team to fight them in this epic series. The old school character and mechanical designs have a timeless look to them, while the action is intense.

Megazone 23

MAL Rated 7.03, Ranked #3143Aired Winter 1985Produced by Artmic

The Matrix trilogy blew movie-goers away with its bombastic plot about humans living in a simulated world created by machines. Interestingly enough, that story wasn't entirely original. Megazone 23 covered similar ground 15 years prior to the release of the first Matrix film. Just goes to show how innovative anime has always been.

Megazone 23 is a 3-part OVA, featuring some of the best 80's Jpop and hand-drawn mecha action sequences in existence.

Five Star Stories

MAL Rated 6.86, Ranked #3677Aired Winter 1989Produced by Sunrise

As far as theatrical anime features are concerned, few come close to Five Star Stories. This is a visual masterpiece with some of the slickest character and robot designs to grace a fantasy mecha show. Well, considering that its based on Mamoru Nagano's exquisite manga it's no wonder that it looks so good.

Haja Taisei Dangaio (Dangaioh)

MAL Rated 6.26, Ranked #5675Aired Summer 1987Produced by AIC

When Shoji Kawamori and Masami Oobari work on a mecha anime, it's bound to be special. Battles are a sight to behold, but it's the mechanical designs of the robots that steal the show.

The cast of heroes must use their 'psionic force' together with the combined Dangaioh unit to fight the evil Captain Garimoth. Watch out for Gil-Berg though, as he is the quintessential bad guy with a penchant for salty language.
