Super Robot or Real Robot?

[Shurikenger]

Lets say, for the sake of argument, someone hands you the keys to a giant robot with fantastic fighting abilities. The catch is, there are only two types of Robot you can pilot. The first, is a Real Robot (i.e. Zaku, Gouf, anything Gundam or Real Robot related.). The second is a Super Robot (i.e Gaogaigar, Might Gaine, Big O, among others.). If you had the choice to pilot either one, which one would you pick and why?

Me, as much as I like Real Robots, I'd probably pick a Super Robot. The Supers have an arsenal that could rival a Real Robot... Although piloting either one can and will have a bunch of bad guys breathing down your neck... But in my opinion, it's better to beat down evil than to partake in a war, which is one of my reasons as to why I'd pick Super over Real.

So, HJU, between a Super Robot, and a Real Robot, which would YOU pilot, and why?

Super Robots just seem *so* much more fun. Screw this "realistic" crap!

Definitely Super.

BOTH!

I'm kidding..... this is a good question. Gundam 00 or G Gundam?

G Gundam wins, but I do prefer 00 or Macross Frontier over saaaay, Kotetsushin Jeeg.

I gotta think about this one...... good question....

Mazinkaiser + Shin Getter Robo > All Real Robots.


Ideon > ALL

Ideon is basically a hybrid robot in my opinion, combining elements from Super and Real types.

Anyway, I really enjoy the best of both worlds, however I'm more into Super Types, because it was Super Robot animes that got me into anime especially Grendizer, which was a phenomenom in Arabic speaking countries (I used to live in Egypt)

Why is it Ideon always has to pop up in these threads? It's seriously starting to get old.

Really? I haven't been posting on this thread for a while so fill me in how many times was it mentioned?

Not in this thread specifically, but it seems like lately whenever something Super Robot related comes up in a Poll thread, Ideon has a habit of follwing right behind it.

I guess Ideon is the mecha equivalent to the Chuck Norris jokes.
