I know music gets most of the love, but can we talk about how sound effects make mecha productions awesome? What are you favourites?
I've watched Be Invoked recently and more than the grandiose music score, a lot of the sfx sounds very unsettling (as much as in the series, think about that siren-like sound of the Ideon Sword), lots of scenes with no music and only weird sounds, feeling eerie and making the scene overwhelming to watch. In fact, a lot of older shows, with lower sound quality, have this nice feeling of oddity when you listen to it, I'm not sure about how to describe it. And I fucking love it.

In terms of sound I think VOTOMS ranks near the top.

Came here to post Votoms. Other than that, Star Trek has so many iconic SFX.

Gotta mention VF-1 gunpod and RX-78 beam rifle

The CRRRONK-DM-DM you occasionally get when you have MS in motion, ow when Crab Gunners walk, is absolute sex to me.

I like the sound Mazinger makes in Toeizinger after Kouji Pilders on.
I like a lot of the stuff mentioned, but since OP was bringing up Ideon: That fucking sound the Ideon Sword makes sticks out in my head.
Armored Core 4/FA overboost always gives me shivers.
