Mechanical Monsters

==Summary==
The Mechanical Monsters were a line of around thirty robots built by a mad scientist in order to gather a fortune for him, they served as the titular main antagonists (alongside their creator) of the eponymous 1941 Superman short by Fleischer Studios.
They went on to become the most iconic Superman villains in the Fleischer shorts, influencing several other robots and being referenced on many occasions.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: At least to 
Name: The Mechanical Monsters
Origin: Fleischer Studios' Superman short The Mechanical Monsters
Gender: N/A
Age: Unknown
Classification: Remote-controlled robots
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 0 to 1, three to four times as tall as a man), Flight/Body Control/Transformation (They can morph into an airplane-like state to fly. They also have a compartment on their backs in which roughly two people or more can fit.), Fire Manipulation (via their flamethrowers)
Attack Potency: At least Small Town level to Town level (Though Superman could one-shot them, their blows and flamethrowers were still able to momentarily keep him down in the ground, though it took the combined effort of all the Mechanical Monsters to do this and it didn't really seem to hurt him at all. A single one had enough strength to stagger him, making them far superior to the Arctic Giant.)
Speed: At least Subsonic, likely much higher travel and combat speed (Though their walking speed is quite slow, their flight speed is comparable to an airplane's and they're able to strike at great speed. They were even able to catch Superman off-guard.)
Lifting Strength: At least Peak Human (Can carry a few people's worth of space in terms of diamonds and gold.), likely higher
Striking Strength: At least Small Town level to Town level
Durability: At least Small Town level to Town level (Superman could one-shot them but many weren't destroyed upon impact, withstanding his blows.)
Stamina: At least Peak Human, possibly higher (Their creator was ready to pit them against Superman who is well-known for his feats of strength and stamina.)
Range: At least several meters due to size, higher with flamethrowers
Standard Equipment: Their flamethrowers
Intelligence: Average (Will follow their creators' instructions to the end.)
Weaknesses: If they're in the middle of stealing something and stashing the loot in their back compartment, they have no defenses against someone entering in that compartment, as Lois Lane did in the short. They also require instructions from their creator for special situations, such as if someone tries to open up their back compartment.
