If I had a dollar for every time a piece of fiction had a metal that's stronger and lighter than titanium, I'd be Scrooge McDuck.

I mean, we have materials stronger than titanium that are lighter, just adding aluminum to titanium produces a far stronger alloy that is lighter per cm cu due to the aluminum being lighter. Magnesium alloys are also ridiculously strong and lighter than both pure titanium, and many common titanium alloys. Also, while titanium is great for making tough, temp resistant aircraft skin, it's worse than steel in every respect as ballistic armour. Hardened steels are much more resilient overall. Titanium gets a bit too much credit, it has its applications, but it's not a replacement for steel.

[@dragonman2168]

Yeah, I could see how a giant robot who thinks, feels, and fights just as, if not more efficiently, as a human could easily beat a real human piloting any man-made giant robot, due to how much more advanced, agile, powerful, and experienced Transformers are.

[@Blazko877]

Not a robot actually, an alien who is a robotic organism

[@HorizonStronghold]

That’s not as much of an advantage as you think. Optimus cuts down on the reaction time because he doesn’t have to input controls, he just moves his arms. However, losing limbs, being impaled, getting shot, etc would be a LOT worse for the bot since he actually feels the pain. Not to mention he’s got a lot less dead space in his chassis since he’s got biotech components critical to his functions. You take off a transformer’s head and most of them will die. Any gundam will either be blinded or just have more limited vision as secondary cams kick in but will still be able to fight. Transformers also have to heal naturally (for some things, most can be repaired), whereas a suit just needs repairs and can eject the pilot if it takes too much damage.
