mecha
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.
Types of Mecha
* Externally piloted mecha - A mecha where the controls are external and the pilot rides on top of the machine.* Walker (robot) - A type of walking mecha that usually lacks arms.
