Fans of quasi-Japanese-cheesy-giant-robot parodies are experiencing a mini-renaissance here at Atom. Between Gigabots and MegaBot we’ve got enough nerd-stalgia to satiate your giant robot thirst. Check out ‘em out after the jump!
Though Gigabots is more of a straight parody, it’s hyper kinetic styling make it superbly enjoyable and fresh. Those Duncan Brothers know what the F is up. Thank God the crowd at Channel 101 voted Gigabots back.
MegaBot (which is kind of my favorite ever, right now) examines what happens to a group of shiny young super-teens once they’ve grown up. There are two lessons from this show: 1) fighting giant robots gets old and probably always kind of sucked, and 2) you never grow out of wanting to get with “the girl” member (pink).
