Need to address this. I'm in school right now and not in the best of moods, so I'll make this as quick but detailed as possible.
Now the reason (and yes ONLY reason) why Robotic-type characters have endless stamina is because they are purely 100% robotic. No living qualities or anything, just being robots. Think of guys like Andriod 17 and 18, Magearna, and so on as examples. You'd think "just being robots" alone would be grounds for this. Way I see it, it isnt. At all.
Unless theres just a misunderstanding I happened to point out right now, being purely machanical shouldnt automatically have infinite stamina be slapped on for you. At least, a case by case basis, needs to be applied. First, this line of reasoning is blatently inconsistent among our robot/mecha charcaters here. Examples:
At least 10 different robot characters here who lack infinite stamina and have no where even near it due to reasoning on their pages. The fact not even all robots automatcally have infinite endurance slapped on for them, but some do "just because", should tell you somethings wrong.
The next problem with this line of reasoning is the specific reasons WHY not all robots have endless endurance. For example, in Jenny's case, she needs to recharge her power supply in order to continue fighting. And as a part of her weaknesses, it lists she can compensate for that using solar panels (something that CONTINOUSLY absorbs solar energy until night) and back-up batteries. And even with that, she still lacks endless stamina. If being a robot meant infinite endurance, her need for a power source/power supply or batteries would be pointless (That said, I have not seen MLATR in a long time, so memory isn't perfect.)
In Voltrons case, the page blatently says the lions rely on the stamina of its piolts, the Paladins, which SHOULD be superhuman. Why would a robot need the endurance of people if by just being mechanical already gives you limitless stamina?
In Gurren Lagann's case, and yes all versions (sans STTGL), they are in a similar boat as Voltron. Even as robots, they rely on the willpower of the pilots who use them. Without the pilots, it can't power itself. But its a robot so Infinite Stamina should be applied right? Not really. And even with STTGL its limtiless rating comes from nowhere (though thats beside the point here and if it has it for a x reason, im fine with it).
In Eve's case...its just her being a robot, which I addressed before. Though shes listed as Likely High, which makes no sense if robots last endlessly.
In White Tigerzords case, it once again only has decent stamina despite being a robotic character. And as listed on his page, fighting for prolonged periods of time will actually even harm itself in the end.
In Optimus Prime's case, he's a robot and he literally only has superhuman stamina. And IIRC has shown to tire out before but I can be wrong.
In Technus's case, not only does he possess mechanical stuff ALL the time and only has a low finite amount of stamina, but the fact hes a ghost as well and STILL lacks it says something here.
-In Magetta and Koichiators cases, Magettas endurance is completely reliant on the amount of magma he consumes, which again shouldnt be a thing if Limitless stamina was a thing here. Hell, for Koichiator, he only has extremely high stamina because he's a robot and thats...yeah.
In Cyrborgs case, im aware he is only part robot due to being part human. That said, his stamina is only unonown. Being a robot and having unknown might say something.
I could name more but these should be enough. There are examples of these robots being limited in endurance because of stuff like battery recharging, power sources, relient on willpower and so on. Some of these are common robot limitations, so why exactly is limitless stamina being automatically slapped on almost every robot you see? Again, unless its some minor misunderstanding that can easiy be taken care of, we need to change this.
Am I saying robotic guys can never have infinite stamina? Definitely not. If theres a good reason, or something more than "just a machine", im perfectly fine with them having infinite stamina. Otherwise, if being a robot is literally the only reaaon they have infinite stamina, given the named factors, they should be downgraded or at least looked at on a case by case basis so a limitless stamina rating isn't just lazily slapped on every mechanical character here automatically when that definitely isnt the case.
Thoughts and opinions on this would be very appreicated. Thank you and Ill answer back myself later on.
