Kept looking for GL’s outlier dot in the super robot section, then figured the just left it out so as to not bastardize the results.

For anyone OOTL, the show features robots at an intergalactic scale, such that the crew needs to invent FTL communications and travel just to communicate and move within the ship proper.

"Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann", from upthread; the GL is for "Gurren Lagann", which is how it's usually known.

The Gurren Lagann is only 12 metres in height though. Lagann is around the same height as Simon and Gurren is about nine metres on top (technically below) of that.

It gets bigger.

It's possible that that scale image of robot size comparisons might actually depict Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, in the same sense that a photo taken by an electron microscope depicts our solar system.
