The mechanical counterpart to the periodic table of anime characters has emerged – the Periodic Table of Giant Robots, cataloguing most if not all of the impressive yet totally impractical mecha which are to to modern Japanese conceptions of manliness what gun-toting beefcakes are to American aesthetics.
The tagged version can be inspected on the Channel.
Also of interest is the original periodic table of anime characters.

Sm = Sam from Time of Eve.
I lol'ed hard.
Not even the powerful Airman?
2 Haros and the Big O make water. I knows my chemistry. :3
Considering that everyone hates the Gurren Lagann fanbase on /m/, it's not surprising that it wasn't included. To those asking for Gurren Lagann, that list is there just to piss you off.
No HK-47?
There is no MEGAS.
Therefore, the list is compromised, and all data can be ignored.

Wow... i know a good 70% of that table.
113 (Ununtrium) should be
http://www.macrossroleplay.org/Sketchley/Statistics/VF-171/VF171.htm
For NUNS!
V = Valkyrie from SDF Macross
Sc = Scopedog from Armored Trooper Votoms.
Why is Robo Po? And why is blues Pm, or is that meant to be Pulseman? I know they look similar, but I'm sure that's blues from rockman...
most likely went with the american way of saying his name, protoman geez.
Robo should have been Pm for being Prometheus/prometheum.
Protoman is awesome and deserves a spot! hardly anyone played the Z games anyway!
Robo under Po? Oh well, close enough, I guess.
List of robots I rememeber a couple of :P
The location of some of the chemical elements on the real periodic table is resulting in great symmetry.
Sinanju (Sn/Tin) next to Sazabi (Sb/Antimony).
HyoRyu (Ho/Holmium) next to EnRyu (Er/Erbium).
I would have preferred U = Unicron, but an Urbanmech is fine too.
that would have ben epic!
Please! This is not a ranking. If you look carefully all the robots are matched with the chemical name.
H for hidrogen, they just went with a robot whose name started with H.
Mn starts with M and so does megatron.
They are all like that.
none the less, it's also a tribute to giant robots, and many will remmeber thei elements thanks to this.
<3 Toaster.
Lol, "don't be such a periodic asshole" XD I'm glad Tatsunoko vs. Capcom came out or I would've never recognized Yatter-Wan.
Cr = Tau Crisis Battlesuit?
Geez you people are retarded. If you actually took the fucking time to read what's actually on the pic. I don't see you doing this shit.
LMAO, A lot of people didnt read all of the text on the pic. x) what pedantic assholes. xD
Protoman and Cutman are not giant robots, their Robots Masters. This table has errors.
Wheres my Gunmen!!
awesome :D
But Warsman isn't a giant robot ..
where's Gekiganger?
Kr = Kamen Rider
I haven't seen the original series but I do think Kamen Rider isn't a robot, but he was experimented to be a cyborg. Robots are 100% machine while cyborgs aren't.
This list is incomplete without SDF1!
BIG O..... lol
Kamen Rider is not a Robot.
Kamen Rider is a cyborg. It comes pretty, PRETTY close to one.
As far as the details go, Kamen Riders are "modified human" to be exact, so not really sure they can even be refered as cyborg..
If you-ve seen enough of the original series or the manga (especially the manga), you'd know "modified human" is pratically the in-series term for "cyborg". Not even the Shocker Kaijin escape, since they're remodeled humans made monsters and given animal abilities through the sole use of machinery.
also he wears a bug mask, could you ask for more?
He's not a giant either.
perfect table.
no room for 00 ;p its fine there is UC which is superior
Casshern may or may not be a robot, depending on which series you're talking about, but in any case he's not a giant robot.
You apparently forgot to read the title subtext, you pedantic asshole.
Neither are Cutey Honey, nor Metabee or that guy from Futurama
Cutey Honey is a cyborg which fits /m/.
I read wrong, thought it was only for giant robots, it had more logic, but since it does mention the other sizes, it's ok.
but i would have prefer in that case an iclusion by either RD D2 or C 3PO rather than the Iron Giant or the Toaster.
Also i think there is no Voltron! and I couldn't find Mazinger Z either!
and we have a ball from gunda, as a giant robot?
Ironhide might be big but a giant robot?
and the toaster?
This PT needs more work, it's not ok as it is.
Obvious Mazinger is obvious.. Mg, right next to Godannar's Na.
I need to create a new element so I can add Voltes V to the list :P
oh yes you are right, i stand corrected. bit i still see no Voltron.
So is astroboy. Metabee filled my childhood days with joy. Fuck off.
Well, if you want to get into details, humans are biological robots in a sense... And most of the series they are depicted as "machines" so I don't think it matters... Not to mention, READ THE EFFING TITLE on the picture, you pedantic asshole!
the Evas are humans not robots now that i recall, did that change in the 2.0 version?
Casshern is giant down stairs, have you seen the size of his harem?
