: I would take Gigolo Joe's warnings about mecca being built "too smart, too quick, and too many" and that mecca would be the only thing left after humans were gone as earily prophetic.
Plus when the SuperMecha find David they refer to him as "one of the original robots, he knew actual humans!"- plus the way they "interfaced" with each other was decidedly non-biological and machine-like in nature. Hell, the dialogue that the one has with David I thought made it pretty clear what they were. Yeah, they didn't come out and SAY "We are advanced Mecha", but it was clearly inferred. The only reason I can come up with for some people thinking they are aliens is because they look kinda like the aliens at the end of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS.
