Moar giant robots!

Of courses, more villain groups need a giant robot.

And of course, a Rogue/Vigilante player should be allowed to hijack one and go on their own rampage across Paragon.

Until the Freedom Corps launch their own giant robot as a counter-offensive.

Then the zone music changes to Blind Guardian, and the skies over Paragon City become momentarily awash in the color of AWESOME.

I've always thought of RahXephon as Eva done right.

A giant bot for "The Family" would be cool. He could go to the enhancement stores and say "That's a mighty nice store you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it. Like a giant robot attack. Giant robot attacks happen, you know? Would be a shame, I'm just sayin'."

A giant Carnies fetish bot would spice up the higher level zones.

If it was mentioned already, I missed it, but don't forget the giant Arachnos spider bot - Jade Spider.

Freakshow welded together into one giant combi-robot, Voltron style!

An amalgorithm of recycled Warwalkers, Council/5th giant mechs, Kronos titans and a Freak Tank put together for a new GM.

Maybe bits of Arachnos subs and Longbow fliers thrown in too.

Since chicks dig giant robots, I think I'll contribute my own suggestions...

Longbow Arbalest Exo-Battle Armor: In light of the recent Praetorian invasions and the cost effectiveness of the Cataphract, Longbow has set out to create their own, mass produced war machine. Ultimately what the ended up with was an extremely large powered armor, but still packing quite a punch and able to topple even the biggest threats.

Malta Hyperion Class Titan: (Actually someone else's idea but it was a good one) Salvaged from stolen pieces of War Walkers and HVAS, it's smaller than a Kronos, but bigger than a Zeus, it's far more cost effective than both and devastatingly lethal.

Clockwork King (Special): By gaining a measure of his sanity back, the Clockwork king has created this massive new body, salvaged from anything and everything he could find to protect his Clockwork Princess from the Praetorian threat.

Mu Golem: Using ancient manuscripts, the Mu have constructed this massive golem, propelled by advanced mechanical knowledge of the gods and moved by their hatred of Oranbega, this techno-magical monstrosity will let nothing move it from its path of carnage.

Paragon Protector Powerhouse: These specially designated Paragon protectors operate the unstoppable Crey Powerhouse "Hazmat" armor, designed to protect its wearer from any potential hazard in the lab. like flying bullets or high powered explosives.

If we really wanted to go down the giant robot route, how about Talos and Chimera, whose battle back in the 1960s created Talos Island and the story goes that they're still fighting down there... somewhere.

I can imagine an arc or a Task Force where the final mission has you journeying down beneath Talos Island, and you find the chamber that they're in... and they're absolutely colossal. Like that minotaur statue of Talos on Talos Island? That's life sized. And they're still duking it out.

Or if we wanted to go classic, how about the original, mythological Talos, the giant bronze robot from Greek myth? He'd fit well with the Cimmororans or, heck, the Warriors. Maybe Odysseus found and reactivated him.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that the Carnival of Shadows should have a parade zone event in St. Martial, where they stage a march down through the casinos and attract a crowd of citizens who they bring to their tents. The GM is a giant levitating palanquin dragged by Strongmen. It does not attack or react to aggro, like a Rikti Raid dropship, but it can be slowed by defeating the Strongmen that move it. Its defense is hordes of Carnies, to which it gives buffs, and a strong PBAoE confuse aura.

Or something like that.
