When your robot comes from your grandfather's basement, performs impossible transformations, is more powerful than an entire nation's military or otherwise kicks reason to the curb, it's more than a mech; it's a Super Robot.
Mechs (or Mecha) are humanoid-like pilot driven vehicles often depicted in media as a combat machine. Early examples of Mech/Mecha in video games are often derived from early manga and anime as well as table-top games.
Piloted by Masaki Andou, it's a very fast and powerful unit.
Mazinger Z, created by Go Nagai in 1972, is a popular Super Robot, featured in manga, anime, and several video games, including various arcade shooters and all Super Robot Wars games involving giant robot anime crossovers. Piloted by Kouji Kabuto, it is considered the first super robot.
The titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, piloted by Kamille Bidan and later Roux Louka. It can transform into a jet-like "Waverider."
The Nu Gundam is a mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, and is often Amuro Ray's mobile suit of choice in various Gundam and Super Robot Wars games.
Created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa in 1975 as the sucessor and direct sequel to Getter Robo. Piloted by Ryouma Nagare, Hayato Jin, and Benkei Kuruma, it is considered an advanced version of the original Getter Robo, and is the most common version to appear in games.
Created by Go Nagai in 1974, Great Mazinger is the successor and direct sequel to Mazinger Z. Piloted by Tetsuya Tsurugi, it often appears in video games with Mazinger Z and Kouji Kabuto.
The title robot of Yoshiyuki Tomino's 1979 anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam". Piloted by Amuro Ray, it is the basis for every Gundam series and robot after it, separated itself from the Super Robot genre, and spawned a franchise spanning anime, manga, video games, model kits, and much more.
The title robot of Go Nagai's 1975 anime, Grendizer is the third Super Robot in the Mazinger metaseries. Piloted by Duke Fleed, it gained a huge following in European and Arabic countries, and is often paired with Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger in video games.
