Tadakatsu Honda

Tadakatsu Honda (本多忠勝 Honda Tadakatsu) is a samurai who fought many battles during Japan's Sengoku period. His large size, angular full plate armor and stoic demeanor all make him seem rather robotic.

Plus he has jet engines and a drill spear.

Fiction

Q-Transformers cartoon

In an attempt to teach Yukimura Sanada what robots were, Lockdown said they were similar to Honda of Sengoku Basara. Yukimura acknowledged Honda's strength, but denied that he was mechanical in nature. Lockdown was unconvinced, pointing out throughout the Basara games Honda always emitted mechanical noises instead of speaking. Bumblebee thought that given the precedent set by Honda, the Transformers could totally appear in Sengoku Basara. The Road to Borrowing Popularity from Sengoku Basara
