I know, se๑or. Gracias; as always you are such a wonderful & helpful person. You and TMZ are true noble gentlemen not just super robot fans.

So, now they need to look for a 8-) cool 'n good lookin' Jap guy with hairstyle similar to Koji's for the role!

I'm sure they'll find a young Japanese guy for Koji's role.
The young looks and straight hair are already there,
they just need to stylize it into that crazy swept-back
dovetail look,
like they did to the young lead actor's hair in the
movie "Avenging Fist".

Hello, guys!

Can you please confirm or correct this to me, regarding the actual heights of Go Nagai's Mazinger Canon?


  • Mazinger Z [18 meters]
  • Great Mazinger [25 meters] | Prototype [20.5 meters]
  • Grendizer [30 meters]
  • God Mazinger [30 meters]
  • Mazinkaiser [23 meters]
  • Mazinkaizer SKL (?)

Thanks!

Note: I learned later, thanks to my friends here, that there are also these scales below from the OVAs which I find logistic as I cannot imagine Great Mazinger taller than Mazinkaiser.

There are very cool Mazinger's picture given by you, I really enjoy to see that picture. After seen that Great Mazinger I have decided to get that picture, so can you tell me what I have to do for get it?

Man, I hate those Official SRW, Banpresto, Bible, etc scales more than you hate the Official Bandai Dynamic Crusade Cards Power Levels. To me they are equally as valid - which they are not. ;D Just looking at the pictures above and then relating them to the actual animation makes my head spin in disbelief...

Oh well, that goes just as well as the Go Nagai "True" Mazinger (Shin Mazinger) being 30 meters tall.

Sorry fellows, I'm an anime purist and these scales just... *sigh* I'll leave it at that.

me too not much of a fan of official scales ..

Boss Borot Almost reaches Grendizers Chest in the Episodes of which he appeared on. "Grendizer even put his arm around Boss's Shoulders and stare at the Sunrise as i recall?" .. and if we go by official scales than Boss reaches Grendizers ankle, so Grendizer have to sit down and put his arm around Boss Borots shoulder

Exactly. That's why I despise those measurements and even more so the punks that made them "official". Makes it look like those people probably never watched any of the shows or OVAs... :P

 Official Super Robot Stats

But that is exactly the point.
Official super robot stats are not by necessity related to anime, manga and games!

When I think of super robots (away from anime), I think of real mechas in real life. Then, you can make a machine comparison. i.e. a Fiat 500 Twinair is surly not with the same performance as a BMW M5 Sedan.

:) So, you don't have to like the stats if you don't like 'em...but they are an interesting subject of technology-mechanism-science to me and many other fans. That's why they were created by the authors...for those who like it!

As for Bandai's Dynamic Crusade "Cards"...I don't hate them. I DESPISE 'em. Not even calling it official.

The issue is that just like rhe scales, the Dynamic Crusade Carda ARE Official information. Again, that shows that none of that stuff (scales or power) was throughly researched. Anime is pretty much the REAL official info that should be used. Otherwise we end up wirh ridiculous info all the time. ;) A Real machine (Gundam) can be almost twice as powerful as a Super Robot (Grendizer)? Hmmm... Boss Borot is as tal as Great Mazinger's groin? Nope, none of it is valid to me. ;D

Super Robot scales..... on one hand, I find it entertaining
and it releaves my imagination from doing all the math
when it comes to envisioning these robots sizes.
On the other hand, it's all just a bunch of different perspectives
with a variety of translations; tied at the end with the
argument of "which one is the official data"...
...similar to debates on the Bible.

Anyway..... for my own personal reference I just like to play around
with Mazinger-Z's measurements. I use real-life objects to measure
Mazinger-Z and his components.
Examples:
Koji would be about 5'9"... so I just narrow him to
about 6ft tall, or maybe 5-n-a-half feet tall.
6ft tall is easier for me to visualize, since I'm 5'11"
without shoes on.

If the Hover Pilder were to exist in front of me, in reality,
I'd see it as the size of a Volkswagen bug car or a Jetta,
or an AMC Pacer.
The Jet Scrander would probably be a Boeing 747,
at the wing span of course.
The Brain Condor would be a Ford Bronco,
and the Kaiser Pilder would be a Hummer.

But that's all just in my own imagination. If I were to take
these super-robot measurements seriously, it would just
distract me from enjoying their TV shows.
Each robot/TV show can only represent the Time/Space
"reality" in which their story is taking place.

Nothing wrong with using your imagination to guess how
big any of these robots are; but are they Really such-n-such
size in reality? That's for the fan's mind to play with. ;)

the owners of the rights to the robots are the ones who make the information official. if they said those are the heights of the robots then that is the heights of the robots and the same applies to the power of the robots shown in the cards froms bandai. you may not like the information and it may not match the cartoons but it is still the real official information. if some people think is good or not is irrelevant, bandai doesnt care for their opinion obviously, but they own the robots so they call the shots.

 Super Robot Encyclopedias
« Reply #838 on Jun 4, 2012, 5:23pm »

;D Even Marvel Heroes have their own stats. OK, anyway...since we are talking 'bout scales 'n specs, I am re-uploading both of the Super Robot Encyclopedia ver.2004 and the Super Encyclopaedia Super Robot Wars here http://www.mediafire.com/?rhx33mjrs7bpn68 because I believe the old DL link is not working anymore!

The 2 books are in Japanese + an incomplete English translation of the Super Robot Encyclopedia.

:) Enjoy!

lol... the Super Robot Wars encyclopedias are put together by the same folks who came up with the scales and cards to begin with! ;D

I need to rewatch them again, but I don't remember any references to robot heights mentioned in any of the animes. I do think they did mention Mazinger's horsepower in one episode early in the series, but never its height. The same goes for Great Mazinger and Grendizer.

To me there is no better official material on height and power than here:

Tell me it didn't look awesome!!!! ;D
