-->-- '''Big Guy''', ''WesternAnimation/BigGuyAndRustyTheBoyRobot''

Welcome to {{Eagleland}}, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches]]! We're rich, industrious, [[UsefulNotes/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 [[BrokeTheRatingScale the power of eleven]]. Expect them to be [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead decked out in the stars and stripes]], packing [[MoreDakka the heavy artillery]], and burning with sheer American pride.

* [[https://www.fastcompany.com/90293253/the-secret-history-of-cleatus-foxs-enduringly-weird-football-robot Cleatus, the NFL robot.]] A mascot for a game widely considered to be one of America's national pasttimes, hosted by a very patriotic American channel, and it's a humungous ball-loving robot.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''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.
* ''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. Its manga-exclusive upgrade Max Revolver ditches everything except the cowboy theme, however.
* 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 this 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]]").
* ''Manga/GetterRobo'': Texas Mack, the revolver-toting, lasso-throwing giant robot cowboy guardian of the USA, piloted by an [[GratuitousEnglish Engrish]]-spouting cowboy and his sister. Also has ''its own giant robot horse'', piloted by Jack King's ranch dog. The version in ''Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo'' is slightly more awesome than stereotypical, especially the high-powered cannon it keeps stored inside a giant coffin in the White House lawn (with a duplicate inside the US Embassy in Japan).
** The American robots in the manga tend to be pretty normal looking, at least until ''Hien'' where the Statue of Liberty itself is a giant cannon/jet piloted by a HumongousMecha.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* 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. [[spoiler: And also, he's not actually a robot; he's a suit of armor piloted by a jet fighter pilot.]]
* ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' reeks of the trope, especially with his classical 20th-century American values. His inventor is the immigrant Serbian UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla.
* ''Franchise/TheDCU'''s G.I. Robot (aka J.A.K.E.).
* 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).
** 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 ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'' and Tony Stark's worst nightmares about his tech being completely corrupted by the military industrial complex.
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': Sergent Thomas "Tommy" Tinker is either a robot or a nearly entirely mechanical cyborg that works alongside the living spirit of America and shows up to help ComicBook/{{Robin}} when Penguin's bounty on him and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} draws well over fifty killers to town looking to collect.

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/ShortCircuit2'': Johnny Five, as of the epilogue of the movie.
* In the ''Film/IronMan'' movies:
** Subverted in ''Film/IronMan2'': Justin Hammer tries to pass off his Hammer Droids as this. They come in [[RealRobotGenre Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine]] models no less. Every model has a specialist weapon or device attached to it - an anti-armor cannon for the Army, missile launchers for the Navy, high-speed flight systems for the Air Force, and close-range machine guns for the Marines. [[spoiler:Too bad the RenegadeRussian in charge of AI sets them on rampage...]]
** In ''Film/IronMan3'', War Machine gets Norman Osborn's paint job on his armor to become the Iron Patriot, the top dog of US defense. But Rhodey makes sure to note he still prefers the name War Machine (especially since the name "Iron Patriot" is the product of focus groups).
* In ''Film/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.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* The ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' ''Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger'' has its core group of heroes piloting a series of GiantMecha that have Japanese designs and themes. Their SixthRanger is [=StarNinger=], an [[{{Eagleland}} American ninja]] with [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot a cowboy theme]]. His mecha is named Rodeomaru and it rides a giant ATV named Bison King Buggy with which it combines to become the Bison King.
** Bonus points for the Bison King formation using English translation of the core team's Mecha Formation Jingle.
* In ''Series/BattleBots'', this is the theme of Team LOGICOM's robots. It began when they represented the United States in ''Series/RobotWars'' with The Revolutionist, decorated with the Stars and Stripes, and they've stuck with that theme since when they moved back to ''[=BattleBots=]." Their current robot, [[https://battlebots.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Shrederator Captain Shrederator]], resembles ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield.
* ''Series/Stargirl2020'': The S.T.R.I.P.E. armor is a mech suit that stands about two stories tall, built by Pat Dugan out of parts from [[CoolCar classic American cars]]. He even proudly affixed the "Made in Detroit" badge from one of the cars onto the back of its left leg.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* The title Metal Wolf of ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'' is the red, blue, and gun-filled personal ride of Michael Wilson, main character of the game and PresidentAction extraordinaire. Its [[AndYourRewardIsClothes alt forms]] are even ''more'' patriotic.
* 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 [[CarryABigStick Hammer of Justice]]. He even leads a U.S. Army battalion against the player's monster in adventure mission 2.
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' has '''[[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]]'']].
* ''Videogame/BioShockInfinite'' feature Motorized Patriots, animatronic bots designed to look like previous US presidents armed with [[GatlingGood pepper mills]].
* ''VideoGame/CodenameSTEAM'' features a {{steampunk}} strike force led by President UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln. Their strongest weapon is the Anthropomorphic Battle Engine or [[FunWithAcronyms A.B.E.]], a HumongousMecha modeled on and piloted by Lincoln himself. [[spoiler:And a miniaturized version of A.B.E., called S.T.O.V.E.P.I.P.E., is unlockable as a secret character.]]
* While not explicitly American, Santa Death Parade from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'' does embody the classic American sport of football (complete with football projectile attacks,) and contrasts with Travis' more Japanese-inspired HumongousMecha.
* M1-4X from ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' was clearly designed this way. He's a highly advanced prototype combat droid with very hammy PatrioticFervor and a strong drive to eradicate all enemies of the Republic in glorious battle. (And the Republic is basically the U.S. of the ''Star Wars'' universe)
* ''VideoGame/GeppyX'' has Wild John, an {{Expy}} of Texas Mack to go along with the main robot's resemblance to ''Manga/GetterRobo''. Played with by the extra mode "Star Geppys", imagined as an American adaptation of ''Geppy-X'' with a big American flag behind it on the mode select screen. It's actually just a PaletteSwap of the regular version.
* Showbonyan/Robonyan USA from ''VideoGame/YoKaiWatch3'' is the 'Merican version of Robonyan, complete with the colors of the American flag and stars all over.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWBKSO4DvWk Code Guardian]]'', a web-original video production of a giant American Robot defeating a giant Japanese Samurai Robot and a Giant Nazi Robot in an Alternate (mech-based) Pearl Harbor.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', being the [[spoiler:President of the United States]] apparently involves piloting one of these.
* In ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' one of these was planned, in the form of a giant mechanical George Washington, but was never completed.
* U.N.C.A. S.A.M. from the EGO story arc in ''Webcomic/HeroesUnite''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* The ''Website/SCPFoundation'' has [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2776 SCP-2776]], an 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.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* A robot introduced in the last few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/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.
* ''WesternAnimation/BigGuyAndRustyTheBoyRobot'': the BGY-11 in this version is just really patriotic because it's his job to defend the country, rather than as a publicity stunt. [[spoiler: He's also not really a robot]].
* 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.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Real Life]]
* While no [[{{Eagleland}} patriotic American]] ''[[HumongousMecha mechs]]'' were built until 2015 (see below), 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 paint jobs 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 downplayed of this trope rather than a straight example since this trope is about an American "super robot".
* 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" ([[AmusingInjuries 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]].")
** Megabots upgraded mech, [[https://youtu.be/T22JN6IWsJA the Mk-III]] hams up the "Super American" look even more. Among other things, it features stars and stripes armor, a chrome grill with floodlights, tank tread feet, and a bald eagle head on its shoulder. [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Gundam Maxter]] would be proud.
