Line 20:
* ''[[GoLion]]'' is thought of as one, even if not so in western equivalent ''[[Voltron]]''.
** He tried to prove it too. [[Curb Stomp Battle|It didn't go so well.]]
* The "White Doll" from ''[[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'' is sort of worshiped as one. Granted, this was ''before'' they knew it was a mobile suit, and not just a statue.
** {{spoiler|Not to mention [[Superpower Lottery|its powers that ''literally'' rival those of a god]]...}}
* In ''[[Gravion]]'', Sandman calls his [[Humongous Mecha]] "a new deity for the modern age". As if that wasn't enough, its name is ''God'' Gravion. However, it's ''replaced'' by Sol Gravion, and Sandman's God Sigma Gravion becomes a sort of [[Sixth Ranger]].

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* As the page quote used to indicate, the Titans of ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' are acknowledged as god-machines even outside of the [[Machine Worship|technology-worshipping]] [[Machine Cult|Adeptus Mechanicus]].
** To complicate the matter, some have literal churches built on them.
** Some have churches and shrines built '''for''' them.
* The [[Dungeons and& Dragons|D&D]] setting [[Eberron]] has the warforged, a race of living and intelligent war golems. Now that the war is over and they are no longer needed, many of them started to create their own society in the middle of a toxic desert. This includes their very own religion, which revolves around building their own mecha god. And as the entire setting is completely under the [[Rule of Cool]], they will probably be successful.
* ''[[Exalted]]'' has Autochthon, the Great Maker, one of the Primordials who created the setting's universe, and the one most focused on craftsmanship, artifice, and generally ''making'' stuff. He's also called the Machine-God, and he lives up to the name, with one of his bodies being an [[Genius Loci|entire world]] of [[Steampunk|cogs, gears, pistons, wires, steam-filled pipes, and crystalline memory banks.]]
