メカ ロボット オリメカ オリロボ 巨大机器人 机甲 ヴァンツァー

Mecha (メカ - me-ka) are giant robots, robot vehicles, robot construction equipment, robot mobile buildings and generally over-sized robot machines. While the original Japanese definition extends to include power armor, exoskeletons, and general sci-fi machinery, for danbooru purposes this tag is for piloted and/or giant robots.

Primarily seen in science fiction settings, though there are several cases of them in fantasy settings.

  • Exoskeleton - Small, external mechanical attachments that tends to be worn rather than piloted. Some may qualify for the mecha tag, though it should be judged on a case by case basis.
  • Power armor - Full body mechanical armor that usually augments the wearer's abilities.
  • Robot animal - Robot in the shape of an animal, sometimes overlaps with mecha in series such as Zoids and certain Super Sentai entries.
  • Robot dragon - Robot in the shape of a dragon, often overlaps with mecha due to their size.
