Brute Justice forming together from multiple mini-bosses is so fucking hype that it's still one of the most memorable XIV boss fights 5 years later.
The Great Sacred Treasure fight from Kid Icarus Uprising and the mech from Bayo 2 are the first to come to mind.
White Glint fight from ACFA.
Lost Planet had some cool minor stuff too like simply getting into one of the smaller mechs to fight one of the giant bosses in 2, or just merging two mechs into one.
The end of chapter 4 in Metal Gear Solid 4. Rex vs Ray was just pure fan service and I loved every second of it.
It does and I was going to post this. When I saw this scene back in the day I was like "WTF is this....? I like it"
I liked the section in Gears 4
at the end with the squad piloting the Mega Mechs.
having the composer from Pacific Rim also helped give it some Pacific Rim vibes.

I loved that last stretch of th egame!
Anyway, all of Into the Breach:
Haven't managed to get a successful run yet but I enjoyed the rounds I played of it over the holidays.I loved that last stretch of th egame!

Another Giant robot moment was in the Atari Tranformers PS2 were there was the reveal that the Aircraft Carrier you were infiltrating throughout the level was the colossal Decepticon Tidal Wave and you have to fight him, the run of Armada I was watching at the time hadn't gotten as far as his appearance so it came out of nowhere playing it for the first time.
Standby for Titanfall!
I've heard those words hundreds of times by now and it never gets old. Really wish we get another one of those games.

Yep the entire last couple of hours of W101.
Can't have a Sentai homage without the giant robot.
Don't forget it! I don't think it's as great as FTL, but you can spend a few dozens hours with it easily.

Came in here to say this. Amazing game— one of the few where protecting the city and preventing collateral damage is front and center and perfectly woven into the game as whole.
wow first post nailed it, the first goemon 64 was basically "what kind of crazy shit can we program in 3d" the game
That's a close second, the last segment of W101 is Gurren Lagann level of hype

The final boss of Lost Planet 1 immediately comes to mind.
All of Chromehounds and Mechassault 2 as well.

Of course it does, and it's a great pick!
... but this is my pick for favorite ever, yeah. It's not just an unforgettable scene, it's a huge "shit just got real" moment that marks a pivotal change in the game's entire narrative. Until then (a few dozen hours!), and outside a few scenes that are pretty much cryptically unparseable without the benefit of later knowledge, the game seems to be about political strife between warring nations, more or less grounded sci-fi, and relatively realistic mecha. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course! But then along comes Id, the father of all outside context problems, and single-handedly changes the genre of the game.
Incidentally, my own username, picked around that time, was meant to be the name of Id's gear, which is never named in the game (I believe it was Perfect Works that names it Weltall-Id). It made sense to me to follow the convention set by Weltall 2 and call it Zero, given that Id's was Weltall's "original", unsealed form.
Dropping a Titan directly on someone's head then jumping in to continue fighting is always a rush.
The Rex and Ray fight in MGS4. One of the few things I liked about that game.
Steel Battalion. I was one of the lucky few that got the full Steel battalion controller set. One of the best mech experiences you can get.

Playing through R.A.D. Robot Alchemic Drive on the PS2 is the best mech moment in games for me.
It's just so cool being able to remote control a giant robot while being careful to position yourself so you can see the battle and avoid getting hurt.
And the voice acting is deliciously terrible. I love it!

There are lots of amazing mechs and games, but my favorite moment has to be what happened during last mission of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries.
My mech lost all weapons in quite early part of the fight and I parked it within one of the craters near the inner wall and turned power off.
There I sat while crater wall was bombarded with missiles and other munition and let my lancemates handle the rest of the battle.
This is something that can rarely happen in many modern games as player usually has to be one doing damage to enemies and friendlies are incredibly incompetent.

This was such a tonally weird scene. Like you're in a cool mech and all but Gaius is on the mic after telling you the sad backstory of what are functionally his children. So you can shout pithy one liners TO Gaius as you're slaughtering his son in a last ditch defensive action.
