* The Robot Devil AKA Beelzebot in ''[[Futurama]]'' is a prime example, although [[Even Evil Has Standards|he does have his limits]]: he finds sacrificing robot children to be cruel. [[Eviler Than Thou|Bender begs to differ]].
* ''[[Transformers]]'' cartoon
** In most animated ''[[Transformers]]'' series ever since [[Transformers Generation 1|Generation 1]], we have Unicron, who can be thought of as a robot [[Galactus]]. Even in his first appearance, he's called a [[Genius Loci|"monster planet"]] right from the getgo.get Hego, and is known as the Great Devourer, the Chaos Bringer, and the Planet Eater,. and hisHis total goal is the reduction of all existence in every reality to nothing; when he assumes his true form with claws, horns, and wings, he also clearly evokes [[The Devil]]. Many other examples of this in the franchise appear as his "Heralds", gifted with fleets of vehicles, vast armies, supernatural powers, and [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|powerful insanity]].
*** ''[[Transformers: Prime]]'' introduces Megatronus Prime. Originally a Cybertronian miner going by the designation D-16, in the Gladiator Arena he took on the name of one of the original Thirteen Primes, Megatronus, and became a warrior of Primus charged with overseeing all Entropy in the multiverse - Unicron corrupted him into betraying his brothers and killing one of them, and his name henceforth would forever be "The Fallen"... {{spoiler|and later, simply '''Megatron'''.}} AsIn Megatronthis state, he is more akin to the Galvatron of the Generation 1 movie: a vicious but rational warlord, hethat loses his mind whenever exposed to the blood of Unicron, {{spoiler|Dark Energon. Remarkably, the Unicron of ''Prime'' opts to take matters into his own hands rather than act through such an unstable being.}}.
** ''[[Transformers Energon]]'' introduces another herald in Scorponok, the leader of the Terrorcon hivemind and a [[Humongous Mecha]] among Humongous Mecha. {{spoiler|And as the skipped-for-no-real-reason [[Missing Episode]] indicates, he might not even be the ''real'' Scorponok.}}
*** Remarkably, the Unicron of ''Prime'' is even more of an example than normal. {{spoiler|Dark Energon is revealed to be ''the blood of Unicron himself'' - it causes anyone that uses it to hear Unicron's thoughts, gives them a serious power boost, almost kills ''Raf'', and resurrects dead Transformers as mindless berserkers.}} "One Shall Rise" reveals that {{spoiler|the earth ''formed around him'' in its infancy}}. He's also capable of spawning [[Me's a Crowd|endless copies of himself]] from the stone of the earth, and while they're thankfully smaller than the original, they're still [[Humungous Mecha]]. Unlike Generation 1, he also opts to take matters into his own hands rather than act through {{spoiler|Megatron}}.
** {{spoiler|Unicron's brother Primus could be seen as a benevolent example; the embodiment of Cybertron itself, he is the source of the Matrix, and every Autobot ''and'' Decepticon holds part of his essence. He is in effect [[God of Good|the Cybertronian Creator God]].}}

** Tornedron from "Call of the Primitives" could also probably count, and it is rather anticlimactically beaten by flicking a switch, [[Reverse Polarity|reversing its polarity]].
