* ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' has Chibodee Crockett's mech Gundam Maxter, which is a [[SurferDude surfing]] {{cowboy}} UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball-player GiantRobot [[GoodOldFisticuffs boxer]]. Most countries have equally stereotypical gundams, but they usually don't have quite [[NinjaPirateRobotZombie that many different stereotypes combined]]. Also, his crew is a bunch of {{Wrench Wench}}es.
* In the early design phases for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]], the original plan was to follow the NationalStereotypes motif started by G. However, in an interesting twist, Gundam Heavyarms, originally designed as an AmericanRobot by painting it in bright colors and stacking on [[MoreDakka tons of]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles and]] [[GatlingGood a huge gatling gun]] was eventually given to the ''European'' member of the core cast. The American of the bunch instead got the Gundam Deathscythe, the stealthy, bat-winged Gundam with a gigantic [[SinisterScythe beam scythe]] (which the American fanbase immediately nicknamed "[[Franchise/{{Batman}} The Bat-Gundam]]").

* The Big Guy, of ''Comicbook/TheBigGuyAndRustyTheBoyRobot'', which is {{justified|Trope}}, as the whole program was an over glorified publicity stunt. He's partnered with an {{Expy}} of Manga/AstroBoy though.

* The Iron Patriot armor, built and worn by ComicBook/NormanOsborn during ''Comicbook/DarkReign'', is meant to be a mixture of ComicBook/IronMan and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. He liberally uses Tony Stark's blueprints to fashion his suit (s).

* Robo-47 from "VideoGame/{{War of the Monsters}}". He sports U.S. Air Force symbols, is loaded with appropriate chain guns and nuclear missiles, and comes with a [[DropTheHammer Hammer of Justice]]. He even leads a U.S. Army batallion against the player's monster in adventure mission 2.
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' gives us '''[[NoIndoorVoice LIBERTY PRIME]]''', the anti-Chinese, anti-Communist giant robot. It might not be flag-themed (although it leaves Statue-of-Liberty-shaped footprints), but he ''throws nukes like they were footballs'', and is constantly spouting anti-Communist, pro-America propaganda, such as "DEMOCRACY IS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN" and "AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO COMMUNIST INVASION". [[spoiler:Though he gets destroyed by an Enclave [[KillSat orbital strike]] in the ''Broken Steel'' DLC, he does makes a comeback in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', helping the Brotherhood storm the Institute`s ElaborateUndergroundBase by ''blowing a hole in its roof''. Alternately, the Institute may hack into him to make him think the Brotherhood is communist, causing him to shoot down the ''[[CoolAirship Prydwen]]'']].

* ''Manga/{{Heroman}}''. "AMERICA BANZAI!" Aside, Heroman's giant red white and blue motif, complete with the hot-blooded IN AMERICA style (with a PhenotypeStereotype [[TheKidWithTheRemoteControl controller]]) is this trope to a T.

* The ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' has [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2776 SCP-2776]], a automaton resembling and believing himself to be UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington. [[spoiler: As it turns out, he ''[[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy is]]'' George Washington, or at least the unstoppable and patriotic murder machine that replaced him.]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', being the [[spoiler: President of the United States]] apparently involves piloting one of these.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' has Dexter and Mandark give robot bodies to the heads of Washington and Lincoln at Mount Rushmore and have them fight each other. [[spoiler: Neither side wins, as they realize they're too evenly matched and end up making peace and walking away together.]]

Welcome to {{Eagleland}}, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches]]! We're rich, industrious, [[YanksWithTanks militarily powerful]] and [[HotBlooded burningly]] [[PatrioticFervor patriotic]]! How to show that in fiction? Why with [[HumongousMecha Giant Robots]] of course. An American Robot, in short, is any [[SuperRobot super fighting machine]] that [[LargeHam hams]] up the USA to [[UpToEleven the power of eleven]]. Expect them to be [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead decked out in the stars and stripes]] and packing [[MoreDakka the heavy artillery]] (as well as having a burning American pride).

* In 2015, Megabots Inc. introduced the Megabot Mk-II which they have billed as "America's first fully functional giant piloted fighting robot." In a ''very'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVJTGLL2SnI hammy unveiling of the giant robot]] (which also challenged Suidobashi Heavy Industries to a duel), Megabots Inc. heavily played up the "[[{{Eagleland}} 'Merica]]" stereotype by wearing American flags for capes, playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" in the background, boasting that the robot was "born in the fires of American innovation" (as a gout of flame singed an unfortunate lab worker off-screen), and stating that ''because'' they were American, their robot has really, ''[[MoreDakka really]]'' [[{{BFG}} big guns]]. (Korogo Kurata, founder of Suidobashi Heavy Industries, agreed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u8mheM2Hrg in his response to their challenge]] that the design is "[[LiteralistSnarking Super American]].")

* In the early design phases for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]], the original plan was to follow the NationalStereotypes motif started by G. However, in an interesting twist, Gundam Heavyarms, originally designed as an AmericanRobot by painting it in bright colors and stacking on [[MoreDakka tons of]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles and]] [[GatlingGood a huge gatling gun]] was eventually given to the ''European'' member of the core cast. The American of the bunch instead got the Gundam Deathscythe, the stealthy, bat-winged Gundam with a gigantic [[SinisterScythe beam scythe]] (which the American fanbase immediately nicknamed "[[ComicBook/{{Batman}} The Bat-Gundam]]").

* While no [[{{Eagleland}} patriotic American]] ''[[HumongousMecha mechs]]'' have been built (yet!), that doesn't stop American companies and individuals from dressing up their cars and other equipment in red, white, and blue. The American Motors Corporation made several outlandishly patriotic paintjobs for their high-end cars; The [[http://i.imgur.com/KYjQROo.jpg Rebel Machine]] and [[http://i.imgur.com/QieHAfu.jpg Rambler Scrambler]] both came out of the factory with fluorescent red and blue stripes and decals on a white body, and [[EnormousEngine both had 6.4 liter V8 engines]]. The AMX and Javelin AMX raced with red-white-and-blue liveries in the SCCA.
* While America is leading the way in terms of unmanned and robotic weapon systems such as bomb disposal robots and UAV's like the predator and Global Hawk UAV's, they are a downplay of this trope rather then a straight example since this trope is about a American "super robot".

* The title Metal Wolf of ''MetalWolfChaos''. Its [[AndYourRewardIsClothes alt forms]] are even ''[[UpToEleven more]]'' patriotic.

* In the early design phases for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]], the original plan was to follow the NationalStereotypes motif started by G. However, in an interesting twist, Gundam Heavyarms, originally designed as an AmericanRobot by painting it in bright colors and stacking on [[MoreDakka tons of]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles and]] [[GatlingGood a huge gatling gun]] was eventually given to the ''European'' member of the core cast.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' gives us '''[[NoIndoorVoice LIBERTY PRIME]]''', the anti-Chinese, anti-Communist giant robot. It might not be flag-themed (although it leaves Statue-of-Liberty-shaped footprints), but he ''throws nukes like they were footballs'', and is constantly spouting anti-Communist, pro-America propaganda, such as "DEMOCRACY IS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN" and "AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO COMMUNIST INVASION".

** The Detroit Steel armor, developed by Hammer Industries. Huge, loud, with ridiculous amounts of guns and weaponry (including ''chainsaws'') and painted with the colors of the American flag (though he's first and foremost a corporate tool and other "Steelmech" models can be painted to whatever the buyer wants, namely corporate logos). Creator/MattFraction conceived him as a mix between the jingoism of ''TeamAmerica'' and Tony Stark's worst nightmares about his tech being completely corrupted by the military industrial complex.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' gives us '''[[NoIndoorVoice LIBERTY PRIME]]''', the anti-Chinese, anti-Communist giant robot. It might not be flag-themed (although it leaves Statue-of-Liberty-shaped footprints), but he ''throws nukes [[IncrediblyLamePun like they]] were footballs'', and is constantly spouting anti-Communist, pro-America propaganda, such as "DEMOCRACY IS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN" and "AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO COMMUNIST INVASION".

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' gives us '''[[NoIndoorVoice LIBERTY PRIME]]''', the anti-Chinese, anti-Communist giant robot. It might not be flag-themed (although it leaves Staute-of-Liberty-shaped footprints), but he ''throws nukes [[IncrediblyLamePun like they]] were footballs'', and is constantly spouting anti-Communist, pro-America propaganda, such as "DEMOCRACY IS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN" and "AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO COMMUNIST INVASION".

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' gives us '''[[NoIndoorVoice LIBERTY PRIME]]''', the anti-Chinese, anti-Communist giant robot. It might not be flag-themed, but he ''throws nukes [[IncrediblyLamePun like they]] were footballs'', and is constantly spouting anti-Communist, pro-America propaganda, such as "DEMOCRACY IS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN" and "AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO COMMUNIST INVASION".

* A robot introduced in the last few episodes of ''SymBionicTitan'' was the '''H'''omeland '''M'''obile '''E'''mergency '''R'''obot or HMER (pronounced hammer). Commanded by [[GeneralRipper General Steel]]. Commanded, not piloted, because it has a crew as large as that of a battleship. Not patriotically colored, instead it goes for a traditional army green. It also is more of a [[RealRobotGenre Real Robot]] than a [[SuperRobot Super Robot]], it is very slow and resource intensive. There are multiple shots of all of the tank shells it expends when it fires its machine guns.

* Robo-47 from "VideoGame/{{War of the Monsters}}". He sports U.S. Air Force symbols, is loaded with appropriate chain guns and nuclear missiles, and comes with a HammerOfJustice. He even leads a U.S. Army batallion against the player's monster in adventure mission 2.
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' gives us '''[[NoIndoorVoice LIBERTY PRIME]]''', the anti-Chinese, anti-Communist giant robot. It might not be flag-themed, but he ''throws nukes [[IncrediblyLamePun like they]] [[NuclearFootball were footballs]]'', and is constantly spouting anti-Communist, pro-America propaganda, such as "DEMOCRACY IS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN" and "AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO COMMUNIST INVASION".

* The President also has a mech in ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''.

* ''{{Heroman}}''. "AMERICA BANZAI!" Aside, Heroman's giant red white and blue motif, complete with the hot-blooded IN AMERICA style (with a PhenotypeStereotype [[TheKidWithTheRemoteControl controller]]) is this trope to a T.

* The Iron Patriot armor, built and worn by NormanOsborn during ''Comicbook/DarkReign'', is meant to be a mixture of ComicBook/IronMan and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. He liberally uses Tony Stark's blueprints to fashion his suit (s).

* In ''PacificRim'', all the jaegers are designed to reflect some aspect of their nation's character. Gipsy Danger, the American jaeger, is therefore a big blue thing with a boxer's physique and a couple of strategically-placed stars. The plating of the jaeger is also designed to resemble that of an aircraft carrier.

* ''AtomicRobo'' reeks of the trope, especially with his classical 20th century American values. His inventor is the immigrant Serbian UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla.

* While not explicitly American, Santa Death Parade from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesparateStruggle'' does embody the classic American sport of football (complete with football projectile attacks,) and contrasts with Travis' more Japanese-inspired HumongousMecha.

* In 2015, Megabots Inc. introduced the Megabot Mk-II which they have billed as "America's first fully functional giant piloted fighting robot." In a ''very'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVJTGLL2SnI hammy unveiling of the giant robot]] (which also challenged Suidobashi Heavy Industries to a duel), Megabots Inc. heavily played up the "[[{{Eagleland}} 'Merica]]" stereotype by wearing American flags for capes, playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" in the background, boasting that the robot was "born in the fires of American innovation" (as a gout of flame singed an unfortunate lab worker off-screen), and stating that ''because'' they were American, their robot has really, ''[[MoreDakka really]]'' [[{{BFG big guns]].
