Often, these mecha are not works of Man, but rather divine representatives of the Gods themselves -- or, if not that, then a legendary component of the very forces that originally shaped the world. In this setting, the giant mecha are direct manifestations of divine power. 2) Golemsuit WarriorsWhile the golem of legend was made of clay, its fantasy brethren are made of all manner of materials, including metal. If one were to strip away the independent elemental force controlling a golem while leaving it magically animate, what gets left behind would be the fantasy equivalent of a science-fiction battlesuit. In this setting, this process has already taken place, and the results -- Golemsuits -- rampage across the landscape, fighting battles both great and small. 3) Beast LordsA rift between dimensions, or perhaps a different universe, opened up, allowing armies of foul creatures to spill forth into this world. The situation looked bleak until humanity's greatest minds created the Beast Lords, metallic guardians that combat the invaders. After many bitter battles, they were able to beat them back and close the dimensional rift, but only after the destruction of the civilization they were designed to protect. The total devastation of cities and farmland threw humanity into a medieval dark age. The Beast Lords themselves fell dormant, buried deep beneath the earth. 4) Cities and EmpireIn a fantasy setting, non-magical robots can be the tools by which the lower classes take back their power from the magic-using elite. If a "mere" commoner can out-perform a mage using little more than his wits -- and the help of his fellows -- then the mage may find himself out of a job. But what happens when the classic foes of the Human races, goblins, orcs, and others, discover these tools as well?---Marc A. VezinaDP9</blockquote>
