Forgot that one too.

Whenever Prince Planet fought Krag, his mighiest opponent, the fight scenes were often awesome!
Loved when Astroboy fought :
The Golem from Space ( There was a sequel to that one, too. ) which was a giant superpowerful robot.
The Super Duper Robot.
Dante's Ferno, a robot with heat powers.
In Justice League, when Superman fought Darksied.
That was great!
Eigth Man fights his older, more powerful sister, Samantha 7.
